JustTag v0.9.0: Now with support for long paths

While it might not seem like much has changed, lots of behind-the-scenes refactoring has been done to fake future development smoother. Most notably, this refactoring allowed for the creation of a suite of unit tests, which should hopefully catch bug regressions before they make their way into new releases.

In all previous versions of JustTag, the preview window shared the same code for displaying images and videos, and this was a major source of complexity. Now the two have been separated, so images and videos are treated separately. This means you will no longer see a "play" button on images, nor will you be able to pan and zoom videos.

Finally, JustTag can now handle files whose paths exceed the 260 character limit. This was a major flaw in JustTag, since every tag you add to a file will increase its path length. If your file is nested deep in the filesystem(or if it is located inside a folder that itself has multiple tags), then this became very problematic. This fix was the biggest motivator for the undertaking, and I'm relieved that it's finally done.

v0.8.1

HOTFIX: Fixed a bug causing the tags to be added after the file extension.

I guess it's time to write some unit tests, huh?

v0.8.0

Features

Added "comic sorting" mode. This mode correctly sorts files that have numbers in their name. EG: "00.jpg" should come before "01.jpg".

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug preventing users from editing tags on folders.

v0.7.0

Features

• Sorting options! Now you have the option to sort your search results by name, by date, or randomly. This replaces the old shuffle checkbox.

• Rearranged the UI! Now the "all known tags" box takes up much less space, leaving more free room for more important stuff.

• Full screen mode is now available for all file types, including folder previews.

• Added an icon to the full screen button

Bug fixes

• Going into full screen mode no longer causes the current video to restart

v0.6.0

New Features:

• You can now preview a folder's contents in the preview section.
• Added a tool for finding and deleting all occurrences of a given tag.

v0.5.0

New Features

• Fullscreen mode: You can now view images and videos in full-screen mode.
• Folder tagging: You can now tag folders just like files!

Fixes:

• Certain characters are no longer allowed in tag names, as they may break parsing. These characters are:
  • '[' and ']', because they denote the start/end of the tag portion of a filename.
  • ':', because it is used in the ":untagged:" filter command. Also, Windows doesn't allow them to be used in file names
  • '-', because it is used to exclude tags in filters
  • Space, because it is used to separate tags in file names.
• Jpegs and other image files will no longer have video controls, such as play/pause, volume, and time. After all, how do you "fast forward" an image?

v0.4.1

Hotfix

Fixed a crash that occurs when you try to use the scroll bar in the "all known tags" list without having a tag selected.

v0.4.0

New Features

• You can now double-click on tags in the "all known tags" list to add them to the filter
• You can now drag tags from the "all known tags" list to the tags textbox
• Added a "search" button beneath the filter textbox. This is in addition to being able to press "enter" to make it search.
• Added volume controls to the video player
• Videos now autoplay when you select them. They are muted by default.

v0.3.1

• The slider on the video player now moves more smoothly as the video is playing
• The video now seeks more smoothly as you drag the slider.
• Minor cleanup of the video player code.

v0.3.0

New Features

• The preview box now uses FFME instead of Microsoft's MediaElement. This has a few advantages:

  • Users no longer need to install a separate codec to play WebM content.
  • Slightly faster seeking
  • It allows me to add volume and speed controls in future versions

• Added a "find and replace" option in the tool bar. This lets you replace all occurrences of one tag with another.

Bug fixes/enhancements:

• The autocomplete suggestion list is now sorted by length
• The first option in the autocomplete list will now be automatically highlighted whenever it reappears.
• Fixed a bug causing the autocomplete box to appear in the tags textbox even when it's out of focus
• Fixed a bug preventing Gif files from playing
• Fixed a bug causing the program to crash if you rapidly select a video file while another video is still loading
