Hi, currently mainly working on Jaikoz 12 and wanted to share some of the new features completed
We expect a new release by the end of January 2025.
I hope we can choose which icon-fonts we like to have.
And
some improvements in the matching algorithm?
I dont quite understand the question but if you really want to replace with your own icons then you can do this already on Windows
Go to the C:\Program Files\Jthink\Jaikoz\app\lib folder:
Open the jaikoz.jar folder with an application like WinRar
Then navigate to the Icons folder, each icon is represented by a _0 and a _3 png image representing small and larger versions of each icon, so you could replace here with an alternative.
Can you be more specific ?
Oh you mean choose from Solid, Duotone ectera?
This is not going to be possible currently, we have to convert the svg icons to png files, and I had to adjust the canvas proportions for some icons, and had to create some new icons that made up of multiple images such as these swap icons
So there is not a simple way to switch between.
I mean, that I can use the old fonts, if i don’t like the new fonts.
I have become very accustomed to the old fonts
As far as I can remember regarding the matching algorithm, you had made some changes/improvements for songkong, which could now be implemented in Jaikoz. Since I do not have a license for Songkong and therefore do not use the program, I do not know what improvements you have made. If any.
The old icons will not be in the new version, they were not consistent enough and did not lend themselves to being converted into versions suitable for dark mode. The new icons are consistent and relatively easy to create dark mode versions, also will be much easier to create new icons as required.
In most cases we used a very similar image for the new icon to the old icon but if you do want to continue using some old fonts then ensure you keep your old version of Jaikoz and take the steps described in earlier post.
Yes, these improvements should be in new version of Jaikoz.
Now provide three filename masks examples
and the values can be edited
and adds support for using values directly from the matched MusicBrainz Or Discogs release.
We can now refer to the existing filepath in the rename script via the filepath_subfolder and filepath_filename script variables, to demonstrate here we have a silly example where we reverse the existing subfolder part
We have also added the unpad function, here we use so the subfolder is displayed as Disc 2 rather than Disc 02
Added support for adding technical roles to Involved People field
