FileBot 4.5

Post by rednoah »

FileBot 4.5 is out! Get it here!

This is a new major release brings lots of improvements in almost all aspects. It'll run smoother than ever!

Features:
* Allow users to choose between (default) Opportunistic / (new) Strict mode matching
* Fix "freezing" issues when loading (very) large sets of files
* Improved episode / movie / music auto-detection and matching
* Improved support for non-English language preferences
* --action duplicate to duplicate files via hardlink when possible or copy when necessary
* --db xattr for fast offline re-processing using previously stored xattr metadata
* New bindings {model} and {self} for advanced use cases
* Lots of optimizations and usability improvements (especially on Mac OS X)

Changes:
* {primaryTitle} now maps to the original movie name (and not the English movie name)
* Inherit ACLs when moving / copying files to remote folders
* Dropped support for Java 7 (so Java 8 is required now)

:idea: If you have not yet installed Java 8 you will need to download it from here. The latest Java 8 is included if you download FileBot 4.5 from the Mac App Store or via the Ubuntu Software Center.
