jEmplode 42 pre 4

(uploading now -- give it about 5 mins)

Fixed:

1) If a non-container was snuck into a tag soup, it wasn't cleared out

2) A playlist with no options tag gets set to -1

3) exception in M3U getChildren() kills the entire M3U

4) New options for controlling recursive coloring of playlists and soup playlist (look at the bottom of Options)

5) NPE in FIDPlaylist.shouldRefCount -- Actually a bug that "remove completely" was removing nodes from underneath the soups' noses, so when the soup then received the remove event, the nodes were already gone

6) Once options were -1, everything explodes and options aren't saved

7) tag updates for layered tag soups weren't passing the right container through

8) new soup layer "Range Layer" that lets you specify a layer with an arbitrary set of character ranges like "Range By Artist=>A-F,G-M,N-Z" will split your tunes by artist into three playlists. If you want the actual full artist name on the next level below that, do "Range By Artist=>A-F,G-M,N-Z,By Artist"

Still Broken:
That multiple select delete from a refs search soup thing from the previous release.

dude...last time I saw you, you were still human...get some sleep.

The key is not quantity but quality... I sleep for 4 hours, but it's like comatose sleep.

Hm. I've downloaded it twice, but it's showing v42-pre3 each time. Did you forget to change the text for the version number, or am I doing something wrong?

- Jon

Forgot to change it ... my bad. It would be nice if Java had a preprocessor so I could put a timestamp in there. I'm always forgetting to change that number.

The recursive soup colouring doesn't seem to be working for me. The value is being saved and restored, but my soups never get coloured (neither red nor blue). But maybe you uploaded the wrong jar - the title says 42-pre3.

Do you have any on-Empeg soups? The jEmplode-only soups will not colorize since they aren't technically "dirty" since they don't have to sync onto the Empeg. (though I can make these do it too)

No - I only have JEmplode-only soups.

It seems that I misunderstood the release notes, then. I'd hoped that the off-player soups would be coloured, and I guess that influenced my reading.

I explicitly turn transient soups off ... I'll turn it on for the next one...

is there a way to exclude certain tunes from a soup?

perhaps something like search:(tag!="variable")

i have a playlist full of tunes i haven't properly tagged yet, and i'd like to be able to exclude them from all of my soups with something simple and easy to effect on a bunch of files in numerous subdirectories... like a comment tag...

you can select them all, go into advanced tag propeties and make your own custom tag, say "broken=yes" and then setup your soups to be layered:

search:not broken~tag:artist
(filter out all broken, then "By Artist")
