Version 0.11.2
---------------------------
Link: Click to download or click "Check for updates" (v0.6+)
Release Notes:

  • Improved support for adding custom text for seasons/episodes/CDs; the $S (for season number) and $E (for episode or CD number) tokens can be used when defining a thumbnail for all files in a folder (batch processing)
  • Added filter by season number when retrieving posters for a TV Show (just for TheTVDB.com collector)
  • Store/Restore state/position for ThumbGen's windows
  • Added %SEASON% and %EPISODE% as supported tokens for Moviesheets
  • Added %FRAMERATETEXT%, %FRAMERATE%, %ASPECTRATIOTEXT% and %ASPECTRATIO% as supported tokens; the only difference is that the tokens without TEXT have "_" instead of "." and "-" instead of ":" (to allow mapping them to filenames inside templates)
  • User can customize the folder.jpg output name and the moviesheet output name (experimental, use with caution)
  • The existing thumbnail can be also used as cover inside the moviesheet
  • During double-thumbnail patch not all all jpgs are renamed (only the folder.jpg and moviename.jpg)
  • Added OFDb.de and cinema.ptgate.pt as collectors

WDTV ThumbGen 0.10 released!

Version 0.10.1
---------------------------
Link: Click to download or click "Check for updates" (v0.6+)
Release Notes:
  • Improved the .nfo files management: the generated .nfo file can be used later as MovieInfo source and has now XML format (very similar with the XMBC one); you can put your own data there and you can use it inside ThumbGen
  • Centralized MovieInfo display
  • Extended media flags detection (flac, vorbis, SD resolutions, embedded subtitles)
  • Implemented proxy support (inside Advanced Options)
  • Implemented full support for TViXiE templates: BUT the feature is disabled, as I am not allowed to distribute the required library file (no licence). You must eventually take it from TViXiE or ask for it directly from its authors (Neodynamic ImageDraw). If you place the DLL near the ThumbGen's exe file you'll get MovieSheets support (Trial watermark will appear on each generated MovieSheet). To build up the MovieSheet you can drag'n'drop cover/backdrop/MovieInfo over the MovieSheet or you can use the "Green check" buttons. The generated sheet (wd_tv.jpg) will be placed near the movie file. Supported are original TViXiE templates and also some of the MSG-modified ones (including media flags and rating stars) and they must be placed in a Templates subfolder.
  • The updates support was moved to a new domain/host
  • Bug fixed: Improved images memory management
  • Bug fixed: Filtering season-episode number was wrong sometimes, affecting normal movies (eg. ocean's eleven)
  • Bug fixed: Skipping current folder was not working in some circumstances
  • Bug fixed: Cinemagia.ro collector had a bug in retrieving Movies
Important: ThumbGen requires a PC with Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/2008/7 and Microsoft .NET Framework v3.5SP1 installed (can be downloaded for free here).
