This is a Beta version, which may not be thoroughly tested and may have some bugs, feel free to report them along with any other suggestions so I can help to improve the release.
This changelog will be very incomplete, full changelog will be in the release version.
Major and Minor Changes:
-
Added Logging (this took forever)
Added various logging levels in the Advanced Settings Form
Enabling logging will allow for checking for cache reset (Cache Form) and logging cache resets when enabled in the preloader -
Added Manual Deletion Frequency to the Advanced Cache Form
-
Added warnings to the "Preload Folder Icons For" and "Logging Frequency" in the Advanced Settings Form
-
Added read-only advanced task scheduler settings (writing to task scheduler being worked on currently)
-
Fixed various bugs including ones that made the cache backup/restore timers loop endlessly at faster intervals.
-

Planned Features and Changes:
- Fix various bugs and clean up code and codebase
- Add a way to modify amount of folders to preload at once using a similar method to selecting the thread count
- Add batch preloading of multiple folders with save functionality
- Add a way to automatically generate new audio file thumbnails using folder.jpg or cover.jpg files
- Add minimizing to tray in any form instead of just the cache form
- Finish the task scheduler settings in the Advanced Schedule Form
Notes:
Adding logging took a surprisingly long time as I had to go through the entire codebase and find places where logging would suit the various logging tiers, and also had to fix many bugs with the logger that would cause some pretty harsh issues.
I'm also currently busier than ever before as I have to deal with both work and college along with many other things in my life so new releases may take a lot longer than they usually do.
There is a major issue somewhere that's causing the thumbnail cache to reset randomly, which appears to be a problem with Windows itself as other programs such as Icaros have a caching system and state that Windows Explorer may decide to lose the thumbnail cache. This issue may or may not be fixable and seems to only be remedied with the auto backup and restore for thumbnail cache.
