(use 015)
04/02/09
you can enter a value (percent of full scale) for the normalize (system info menu)
you can now insert the BWF chunks (bext,mext,fmt) to mp2 files
officially, these should be .wav files even tho they are compressed (mp2)
but Maestro, for example, insists on it. so set the file extension to .wav in the system info menu
other tweaks and fixes:
change file endings in queue and timed transfers windows when output type (mp2/wav)
or file extension is changed
fixed: if "ask first" for updates was changed in 014x and 014y it was always set to true
output type and output channels were not being saved to the registry
file extension (system menu) was not getting exported/imported
added descriptions of the fields to the export file
"Local dir" is now "Destination dir"
improved debugging uploads to server and added "Upload activity" and "Upload debug" to Tools menu
rev 014y

change BWF chunk MEXT to mext
fixed 014x, still cutting some audio off when 1/2 sec added to beginning
rev 014x
03/30/09
you can add BWF chunks (bext, mext, fmt) to mp2 files (system info menu)
fixed 014w, cutting some audio off when 1/2 sec added to beginning,
and setting all cutid picks in system info
rev 014w
03/21/09
you can add 1/2 sec of silence at beginning of wav files (system info menu)
flags are spelled out at startup
bug: changing a cartchunk cutid option in 014w will result in all the cutid options being turned on,
where it should only be one.
go back to 014u to straighten it out and then return to 014w if you need to.
this is only a problem if you change the cutid settings.

files of status "ignored" can now be manually transferred by double-clicking them
in the Files/Transfers menu.
rev 014u

fixed help file update that liked to repeat itself
rev 014 late and replacement timed transfers
if a timed transfer pgm comes in late, or is replaced, it will be transferred
only for systems where the automation does not delete files from the dest directory
if this is the case, select "automation does not delete" in System info menu
fixed time comparison for misc transfers - sometimes they were not updating
fixed bug (below) where saving playlist to another directory re-routed the transfers
help file updated to 014
