Audiowall Auto-Importer v3.5 Update Information

You can get the latest software updates as well as Technical Support by visiting the P Squared Website at http://www.psquared.net/support/ or the P Squared Forum at http://forum.psquared.net/

Security Notes:  The Auto-Importer uses a P Squared Contacts and Users Directory 'Software Account' to control which carts it has permissions to. The first time you run the Auto-Importer it will create this account in the Directory and it will use the permissions in the primary Users Security group. This means you can then limit which carts the Auto-Importer can overwrite by controlling it's Audiowall Permissions. This is essential becuase anyone can load up the Auto-Importer on any computer.  It is therefore imperative that you follow our best practice guidelines of setting the default users Security Group in the Directory to have very low security priviledges.

v3.5.17

No changes, built to match Myriad v3.5.17

v3.5.16

Waveform Display: AutoImporter now creates Waveform files for all audio that it imports for display in Myriad v3.5.16 or higher. This matches the same feature in Myriad etc. You can disable this via Global Audiowall Settings>Advanced tab. For more information about Waveform files please see the Myriad documentation.

The option to 'Take a 'Snapshot' of new files before importing' has been moved to pre-group instead of an overall setting allowing you to only activate it on Groups that need it rather than all groups.

The "Check the Audiowall...." option has been renamed to "Check the Audiowall for new changes to audio files"

By default the AutoImporter now doesn't minimise to the System tray, instead it just minimises to the normal windows task bar. There is new option to "Minimise to System Tray" in Settings that allows you change this behaviour.

By default, in "Check the Audiowall" mode the AutoImporter doesn't remove Carts when the audio file is deleted. You can turn this option on via the Group Settings.

More progress information is now displayed during the import process, particularly during normalise/convert operations and when scanning a file to create a Waveform graph

The following problems have been fixed:
•	A message box would be displayed if the Auto-Importer failed to reach a mail server regularly, this stopped the importer from continuing.

v3.5.15

There are new options available per Group that allow you to force an Intro Start, Intro End, Extro, Title, Artist and Description on freshly imported carts, or on items 'updated' by scanning the Audiowall. For the Title, Artist and Description lines you can use a small selection of "tags" as part of the string. Click the 'i' button for more details.

There is a new option per Group that allows you to set the level to Normalise the imported audio to.

When scanning an existing Audiowall, you can now set AutoImporter to Compare the Cart's Last Modified date stamp with the one on the File. Before turning this feature on AutoImporter creates a backup of the main Audiowall information and then updates all the carts to have the most recent Last Modified information so avoid Carts being updated needlessly.

The following problems have been fixed:
•	Some carts and files would be continuously re-imported
•	Support Files were not including the Audiowall Information
•	You could not successfully close the Auto-Importer while it was checking it's groups.

v3.5.14

You can now choose to only send Import e-mail notifications for Success and Fail, just Success or just Fail, and also specify different e-mail addresses for each type of e-mail.

Removed Myriad Data Location from the File Locations window as it is not needed.

There is a new option in Importer Settings to "Take a 'Snapshot' of new files before importing" - this copies any new files into a subfolder of their current location called Snapshots! with a date and time prefix. This is usefull for archiving new imports. Please note that these Snapshots are not deleted and must be manually removed periodically.

The following problems have been fixed:
•	Filenames where the number was not at the very start of the filename would sometimes be ignored even though they were within a valid Range
•	You could not disable the option to per-group options to send emails.
•	The Auto-Importer would fail to load if the computer had no sound devices.

v3.5.12
