Kyonew/DVinyl v2.4.0

v2.4.0 - Auto-Metadata, Smarter Search & Security Patch

on GitHub

This update brings significant improvements to metadata management, a better search experience, and essential security patches. A huge thank you to @HolyFab for their contributions to the UI and codebase structure.

🚀 New Features

Automated Metadata & Categorization

• Smart Genres & Styles: Genres and styles are now automatically fetched and populated from external APIs (Discogs, Hardcover, and TMDB) when adding new items.
• Collection Filtering: You can now filter your library by these automated genres directly within the /collection page.

Admin Metadata Management

• Refresh Metadata Button: Admins will now see a "Refresh Metadata" button on item detail pages to manually update genre and style info.
• Bulk Management: Three new sections have been added to the Admin Menu (Music, Books, Movies) allowing you to refresh metadata at scale. You can choose to:
  • Refresh all items in a category.
  • Only refresh items that currently have no defined genres.

Search & UI Enhancements (by @HolyFab)

• Optimized Search Workflow:
  • The search text-box in all "add-item" pages is now auto-focused for faster library building.
  • Search is no longer triggered by timers or "on change." It now executes specifically when you press Enter or click the Search button, preventing unnecessary API calls.
• Refined Layout: * The "Add" and "Estimate" buttons have been moved to clear space for more filters and improve UI logic.
  • Implemented search by format terms for music.
• Code Improvements: * Standardized format terms moved to a constants file for better reusability.
  • Decoupled filters from the URL structure for a more robust navigation experience.

🛡️ Security & Bug Fixes

• Dependency Update: Upgraded multer from 1.4.5-lts.2 to 2.1.1 to ensure a more secure environment for file uploads. (thank you @HolyFab)
• Module Logic Fix: Fixed a bug that prevented users from deleting an item if its corresponding module was disabled (e.g., being unable to delete a book while the Books module was toggled off, hello @crispybegs!).

Thanks a lot for using DVinyl! It's always a pleasure to get your feedback <3
