2.6.24
WMP Embedded - play item from playlist by activation fixed
Scheduled LMS re-scan preferences (Options/Music Sources/LMS):
- initiated only if Muso is running at the prescribed time
- will auto-save regardless of "Preview Import" preference
- will re-collate albums on completion
- rollback to savepoint BEFORE the import is available from File menu
- open log file preference respected
Full LMS re-scan now copies .db files to local folder (when remote) to make scan much faster overall (at the expense of an initial file copy) - new option (defaults to on)
- background thread used so more readily cancellable, and UI remains responsive
- file copy skipped if timestamp and size the same as the existing copy
File scanner and iTunes Import also use background threads: more readily cancellable, and UI remains responsive
Scanning progress on bottom right of status bar, separate from foreground status on left.

2.6.25
Re-organised Options screen: scalable layout (category tree on left, scrollable options panel on right) to allow for ever-growing list of options (was getting too tight to fit everything into non-scrolling form).
Save & reload playlist options:
- save as .m3u in muso playlists folder by default
- can load these or any other standard .m3u file into muso
- save/load playlist options are on playlist header and also on File menu
Clear Playlist option available on all players, behind right-click on playlist header
Use full cover as source for artwork on remote now playing screen.
Fix HQPlayer feedback of first track when conversion required.
More information about each playlist item via the hover tooltip, including album and additional contributors.

2.6.28
Reimport Album Folder - refresh album display only after background process completes.
Edit notes - click in textarea while editing shouldn't finish the edit - allow click & drag to hilite an area.
Import m3u on filescan skips tracks that do not exist.
File tag reader can cope with several conductors; combines them into the conductor field.
Trackstat import from LMS writes ..._stat.log not ..._full.log, and excludes dup-reporting for tracks that no longer exist.

2.6.29
Re-import Album Folder - show status label in process window
Take control of external page browser history, and write to trail.log when diagnostics on to help trace issues.
Lyrics is now exported as one of the "dynamic" tags, as it is one of the values changed outside the database edit view.
On exporting static tags only store BONUS if it is ticked or exists in the tag and needs turning off, i.e. do not create unneccesary 0-value tags.

2.6.31
Fixed links from album information.
More error logging on file/folder scans.
Visible separator before a group of bonus tracks on album view (unless in new group or disk)
Detect changes to AlbumKey on manual database edit and only re-collate on saving when album key(s) changed or rows deleted - saves time.
Album's Year deduced as consistent non-null year across tracks, not taken to be the highest track year (year album groups still accumulate albums if any track matches the year, however)
Show Year on tracks if different to album year.

2.6.32
Re-collate albums after every database edit again, as groupings might also be affected.
Edit Tracks at artist level now handles ignore-prefix variations.
Grouping by artist uses the most common variation of the artist name, eg. "The Cure" if more common than just "Cure", though will still collate the two together.
Re-import album folder can now cope with album that has tracks dispersed - re-imports each folder in full.
