WACUP 1.99.34.22022 Preview changelog:

Changed

  • Changed the missing file checking when the jump to file dialog is trying to display results to now do the checking in a background thread to avoid the main ui thread blocking if an item being checked is taking too long to return an appropriate exists or missing response (e.g. slow network devices or with potentially failing hardware)
  • Changed the post release patch handling so it will attempt to reduce the number of copy prompts if multiple plug-ins &/or supporting files are attempting to be updated though it may require the user to check the option on the OS provided copy dialog to do it for all current items otherwise it'll require agreeing on a per-file basis

Fix

  • Fixed any active podcast feed image downloads when closing is triggered leaving incomplete / broken image files in the feed download folder
  • Fixed a small performance issue with the resizing of the inner parts for some of the windows by re-ordering some of the code involved

  • Fixed the ReplayGain processing dialog not indicating to the OS that it shouldn't be trying to apply dpi monitor related changes to it
  • Fixed the export command-line options & the exporter plug-in not working correctly along with some modes not using the correct encoding & some performance issues whilst saving (build 22022 specific)
