VERSION 1.8.0
Private Press 1.8.0
Private Press 1.8.0 makes collection work easier to follow and control.
- Clearer metadata repair results: See which tracks changed, which were left unchanged, and which need recovery review after a repair, including partial results.
- Accurate imported artwork sizes: Compare imported artwork using its actual pixel dimensions, and see when an image was reduced.
- More responsive folder work: Folder metadata edits keep the interface responsive. Stop folder scans between file operations, and retry saving unsaved scan results or scan again.
- Clearer New Arrivals guidance: Held items explain the next step, including reconnecting the original folder collection and retrying the existing item. Unsupported formats and affected files are identified before filing.
- More reliable restores and backup guidance: Fixes one cause of a false Restore Original refusal after a completed file operation's cleanup. Welcome guidance stays accurate when backups are off.
- Stronger verification-key checks: Private Press checks downloaded verification keys more strictly and keeps existing usable keys if a replacement is rejected.
- More reliable album identification: Fixes individual album lookups that skipped our identification service, and keeps retry guidance clear when identification is unavailable.
Keep an independent backup of important collections.
