What's New

This is a bugfixing and quality-of-life update. No major new features have been added, but Recordbox should now be able to be translated into other languages, as all user-facing strings should now be marked as translatable. Additionally, the project ID has been updated and the "B" in RecordBox has become a "b", along with some reorganization of the project structure and build manifests in preparation for submitting Recordbox to Flathub.

• Cover images can now be opened externally, by clicking the button that appears in the lower-right corner of the cover image in the main album overview, which opens the cover in the system image viewer.
• A setting has been added to switch the duration text to the right of the seekbar to instead show the remaining time left in the playing song.
• The album title and artist name below the main cover image can now be hidden.
• The preferences menu has been reorganized and reworded.
• Toggling the "Stop After Current Track" feature with the keyboard now sends a toast message to indicate if it is enabled or disabled
• The appearance of the current track highlight in the play queue has been improved in high-contrast mode

Bugfixes

• Changes to lyrics are now saved back to files only when the library is re-synchronized. This generally improves the behavior of the feature and ensures that lyrics are always saved, as they previously would not if Recordbox exited incorrectly.
• The current album highlight in the queue is now removed properly in all cases
• The library sidebar now closes when clicking the "Show Queue" button in toast popups
• The behavior of the tab key in the artist/genre list now correctly matches that of the album list.

Database Migrating:

Recordbox has changed it's ID from org.codeberg.edestcroix.RecordBox to ca.edestcroix.Recordbox. Since Recordbox is not currently distributed from a flatpak repository, the old ID cannot be automatically depreciated, and this means that version 0.8.0 will install fresh alongside the old version if installed from the flatpak file. As a result, Recordbox will not use it's old data directory and will have to rebuild it's database. If not for the lyrics, this would be irrelevant, but due to empty tags not being able to be saved/read by all tag parsers, lyrics formatted with empty lines separating verses will have those empty lines stripped when read back into Recordbox, leaving all lyrics as one block of text.

To keep the lyrics formatted as they were, the old database needs to be copied over. To do so, simply run the new version of Recordbox at least once and then copy the database file ~/.var/app/org.codeberg.edestcroix.RecordBox/data/RecordBox/recordbox.db to ~/.var/app/ca.edestcroix.Recordbox/data/Recordbox/recordbox.db
