v49.1-rc2

Release Notes

New features

• Added support for end timestamp sync for Line-by-Line sync page (formerly LRC Sync Page). This mode allows the line to have both start and end timestamps. This would help users to make stricter lyrics (or subtitles) for formats that support end tags (such as SRT)
• Filtering in Library by SRT lyrics. Would be removed in future updates and replaced with filtering by lyrics fullness (None, Plain, Line-by-Line (Start only), Line-by-Line (Full), Word-by-Word (Start only), Word-by-Word (Full))

v49.1-rc1

Release Notes

New features

• Added support for SRT lyrics. For now the end timestamp is taken from the next line start timestamp
• Added functionality for export buttons of Lyric Rows in About File dialog

Bug fixes

• On Linux the app now trying to use Desktop Portal to show files in file manager. This removes app requirement to have `--talk-name=org.freedesktop.FileManager1` sandbox permission. Hope soon I find the way to remove `host` and `gvfsd` permissions from sandbox

Translations

• Added Indonesian translation

v49

Release Notes

New Library approach: Previously, Chronograph has manipulated different directories user stores files in. Now we move from this approach to new Library. You select a folder in which you want to create a new library, then import files in it, and Chronograph then uses this Library and its files.

New Chronograph's own lyric format Chronie. Its main goal to be compatible with every other format Chronograph supports. Since barely all formats use Line-by-line or Word-by-word syncing and either only start or both start and end timestamps, Chronie combines all these approaches and store ALL of them simultaniously. Chronie can be converted to any lyric format and then exported, at the same time, it is exportable itself.

Since most of the users, I guess would only use one library, it has tags you can assign to a track in a Library. Sidebar, which previously stored saved locations (directories) now stores tags and allow fast filtering among them.

These are removed: List View mode, all files related settings.

Don't forget to check Preferences after the update, since many changes were made to the app schema

New features

• Ability to sort by Title, Artist and Album both A-Z and Z-A
• Sorting based on file import time

Bug fixes

• File's default filename now built as {artist} - {title}.lrc
• Exporting to file now always uses .lrc suffix

Release Notes

New Library approach: Previously, Chronograph has manipulated different directories user stores files in. Now we move from this approach to new Library. You select a folder in which you want to create a new library, then import files in it, and Chronograph then uses this Library and its files. All lyrics are now storing in database, so it's now easier to implement new lyric formats such as TTML, SRT, ASS, since we now don't encounter numerous interfere of lyric files (eLRC uses the same format as LRC).

Since most of the users, I guess would only use one library, it has tags you can assign to a track in a Library. Sidebar, which previously stored saved locations (directories) now stores tags and allow fast filtering among them.
