Workbench Explorer 1.6 build 6000 released

[mritter0]

An update to Workbench Explorer has been uploaded to Aminet, OS4Depot, and AmiUpdate.  But the best way to stay current is to use the built-in update tool in the Project menu, "Check latest version..."


###### [1.6 build 6000] - 2017-11-02
### Added
- Preferences->Operation->Escape to quit.
- Tools menu->Download cover art.
Select an MP3 or FLAC song, pick this option to download a cover art image.
Having a Folder.jpg or Cover.jpg file in the album drawer is faster loading
than extracting it from the song.
- Preferences->Preview->Cover art name.
- Preferences->Preview->Cover art dimensions.
Keep original size or set to resize to the specified size.
- EXIF data strings are now translated on the fly.
- Mousewheel can change MP3 volume.
- Volume level is displayed in hint text.  Have to move away then come back
to see change.  ReAction issue, not WEx.
- Preferences->Preview->Rotate JPEG image according to EXIF data.
- Mute button to MP3 controls.
- Context menu->Set as Workbench background
Set the selected image as Workbench background image.
- AIFF tags are now read.
- FLAC time is supported.
- The "full" player is used for all audio types.
- Tools menu->Convert image...
Images can be converted to other formats, and/or resized, or just
re-saved/re-packed.
NOTE: 24 bit images can not be saved as GIFs, but GIFs can be resized and
saved as GIFS, or saved as 24 bit images.

### Fixed
- Some texts in Preferences had the last letter cut off.
- At search or duplicate results you couldn't cut/copy anything.
- State of some menu items.
- Datatype checking mode was not correct for Search and Duplicate File Finder.
- If scrolled from an MP3/FLAC to a wav the correct thumbnail image was
not set.
- Empty MP3 image tag was not handled correctly.
- Case sensitive find/replace issue fixed.  Use SC_COLLATE2, not SC_ASCII.
- Processed files count was wrong for some functions.

### Changed
- Improved the MP3 tag scanner.  Faster and less disk access.
- picflow.gadget and jhead are now required.
- Get version method now uses Javier de las Rivas' internal showVersion().
- Image preview line no longer shows filename, but image type, instead.
- Improved the JPEG EXIF data output.

looks like a quality FM but for my needs DOpus & DirMeUp do the job quite nicely

Yes, good old apps, but with none of the new features Workbench Explorer has built-in!

Try the mp3 feature (it even has the meta data) and plays from app.
It connects to the internet to update itself. The old lot did good, this new app is great!

I like how you think, Michael!

I haven't forgotten about your context menu Delete suggestion.  I haven't found a new location for it that I like.
