WDTV ThumbGen 0.5b released!

Version 0.5b
---------------------------
Link: Obsolete.
Release Notes:

  • Automatic movie detection is much better (improved default keywords)
  • Movie detection can be based either on the folder name or the movie filename
  • Bug fixed when some images could not be loaded (invalid metadata)
  • A bit faster search (when more than one collector is selected)
  • Save/restore user options
  • Added option to skip entire folder during processing
  • Updated main window log with details about the processing status
  • Added possibility to select a thumbnail for a folder that has no movies inside (folder.jpg); quite useful for series root folder


 Note: Until I am ready with the autoupdate mechanism please uninstall (Add/Remove Programs) previous version before installing a new one. I hope that soon I am able to host the ClickOnce app somewhere and then it will do autoupdate on startup.
