v2.5.0: Streamlined Match UX & Enhanced Metadata

on GitHub

✨ Streamlined Match Experience & Enhanced Metadata

This release dramatically improves the user experience of the match command and enhances metadata compatibility with audiobook platforms like Audiobookshelf.

🎯 Key Highlights

Streamlined Interactive Workflow

• BREAKING: Removed redundant confirmation prompt - Selecting a match option now applies metadata immediately
• Previous: Select match → Confirm changes → Apply (2 steps)
• Now: Select match → Apply (1 step)
• Faster workflow, especially when processing multiple files

Enhanced Metadata Tags

• Added comprehensive metadata tags for better platform compatibility:
  • description - Subtitle/short description
  • longdesc - Full book synopsis
  • synopsis - Extended plot summary
  • publisher - Publisher name (as custom atom)
  • asin - Audible ASIN (as custom atom)

Better Audiobookshelf Support

• Metadata now includes all tags expected by Audiobookshelf
• Proper MP4/iTunes format for M4B compatibility

Fixed Match Counter

• Now correctly counts processed files instead of marking all as "skipped"
• Previous: "Skipped: 59, Processed: 0"
• Now: "Processed: 45, Skipped: 14"

• The removed confirmation was causing UX issues and was redundant by design
