Videonizer changelog

updated to v10.1.0.0
new: Adding files to Videonizer has become even faster. Now it is a real pleasure to add folders ;)

new: Additional info is displayed at the bottom of the "Move to Folder" and the "Delete Physically" windows. It contains either the path for a single selected Item or the quantity for the multiple selection.

new: The button beside the toggle is the "Custom Hotkeys List" button (Hotkeys: H, F5). Use it to work with the list of currently assigned Custom Hotkeys, and to add a new Custom Hotkey. Once a Hotkey is defined, Videonizer triggers it instead of an original one when the Custom Hotkeys Mode is ON.

new: You can assign any combination of Tags, Actors and Sites to your Custom Hotkey. Here is the list of Keys available: F1-F12, 0-9, A-Z. Custom Hotkeys are database-specific.

new : Preview system has been reworked. From now on previews are displayed in the center of the form and the size of preview picture depends on the window size. The larger the window, the larger the preview. Another innovation is related to picture selection algorithm. Since VTM version 8.0.0.0 is able to produce GIF animations without any other output, Videonizer version 3.0.0.0 allows you to add GIF animations to item's screenlists. So when you hold SHIFT, or Tilde button over datagrid name column, a preview picture is appeared and according to the new algorithm, Videonizer takes the first GIF file from the item's screenlists collection. If no GIFs were found, Videonizer takes the first screenlist. Another preview-related improvement - changing between previews has become faster.
