Message from Fabio Falcucci (Allanon):
AMC v1.22 has been finally released!

Quote:

AMC is the ultimate Media Center application for AROS, AmigaOS(tm) and MorphOS, with this tool you will be able to navigate and organize all your media: musics, videos and pictures will be at your fingers tips.

With AMC it's easy to manage your picture albums, it's easy to manage your videos and it's easy to manage all your songs. The controls are optimized for remote controllers but you can easily change the key bindings. AMC integrates searching functions and removable mass-storage device autodetection, it's easy to browse your USB drives and copy its content in your computer.

AMC is a commercial project and a single license is priced only 29.95€, actually available for AROS and AmigaOS4.x, and soon for MorphOS.

Thanks to the Amiga community and the feedback received from many users the software is progressing fast, a special thanks goes to Samo79 that has helped me alot with this new version.

Change Log

          - [X--] Change volume (+Vol/-Vol -> Default keys: +, -)

          - [X--] Seek Audio/Video (SeekRW/SeekFW -> Default keys: <, >)

          Actually MPlayer for AmigaOS4 as still some problems with Arexx

          commands handling, that's why it's currently disabled.

 - [XX-] Expanded the Key binding section to remap the new available keys

 - [XX-] Unavailable files will be ignored and not listed anymore instead of

         generating errors. Really usefull for removable media and removed

         files that has been previously scanned.

 - [XX-] Added Menu Item <Database->Edit->Wipe Databases> to clear all databases

         in one go. Playlists and favorites will be removed ass well.

 - [XX-] Fixed a bug in the refresh routine when editing CD track titles.

 - [XX-] Now, when selecting a theme to apply, AMC will check if the theme drawer

         selected is valid.

 - [XX-] Now, before applying a new theme (and before restarting AMC), your

         preferences and your databases will be saved.

 - [XX-] Now you can enter the picture section even if the picture database

         is empty, this will allow you to browse your devices for images

         without making a drawer or a system scan.

 - [XX-] Now you can fill the thumbnail grid with your image playlists, just

         enter the "Playlists" menu item and select the playlist you want and

         the thumbnail grid will be filled with the selected playlist contents.

 - [XX-] Now, when the AMC window is moved, video playback will be interrupted

 - [XX-] Now, when the AMC window is moved, the auto-focus will be disabled,

         will allow you to interact with your workbench/wanderer screen and do

         something else. Restoring AMC to its original position (0, 0) will

         enable again the  auto-focus system.

 - [XX-] Now, when you are moving the AMC window back to its position the

         auto snap function will help you. The autosnap has a 5 pixels trigger.

         Remember that you can automatically restore AMC window's position

         by activating the window and clicking the Middle mouse button.

 - [XX-] Now you can select a global font that will be used regardless of the

         theme settings. This setting can be easily switched on and off.

 - [XX-] Replaced some hardcoded "Back" texts with the linked catalog string

 - [XX-] Replaced the hardcoded "Preferences not saved in demo!" text with the

         linked catalog string

 - [XX-] Added command line argument:

           -validate 1

         Using this switch AMC will ask for an .rgs file and will autopatch

         itself avoiding customers/registered users to re-enter their data.

         After the process has been completed just restart AMC to have a registered

         copy (if the user has a valid matching key).



 --- INSTALLER ---

 - [XX-] Now the installer will remove old AMC scheduler installations

         before adding a new one

 - [XX-] Now the installer will launch the scheduler only if it is not already

         running

 - [XX-] Now the installer will ask the user if he/she want to execute the

         Scheduler at startup (with Startup-Sequence modification) or not.

 - [XX-] Now the installer is able to INSTALL, UNINSTALL or UPDATE with

         authomatic activation for registered users
