- added "Pooling=False" parameter to all Sqlite connection strings to prevent open file locks after closing the connection and to avoid extreme delays when using CloseAllPools()
- C# code refactoring "using var" instead of "using ( ) { }" where possible
- replaced misuse of "FileLoadException" with a custom LoaderException to handle file loading issues with better continue/fail logic
- removed "Save As" and replaced it with "Convert list" menu item that shows information on how to use a reference list instead of direct conversion
- replaced misuse of "FileLoadException" with a custom LoaderException to handle file loading issues with better continue/fail logic
- removed "Save As" and replaced it with "Convert list" menu item that shows information on how to use a reference list instead of direct conversion
- Reference list dialog further optimized to fit 1920x1080 @150% or 1024x768 @100% screens
- re-imported translation file (to fix incorrect letters in language names like "Русский")
- upgrade to DevExpress 22.1 libraries
- added experimental support for Loewe servicelist.xml format
- added polarity information to Excel export (and changed column order slightly)
- added missing Romanian translation files to the .zip
(Lists with .bin files require that the .xml file contains all the same channels to override all channel numbers)
- Panasonic: improved symbol rate and satellite position detection
- startup window location and size are adjusted to fit on screen
- Philips: ability to read/write broken CM\_*.xml files that contain channel names with an unescaped & character
- Philips: enabled write mode for Repair\\FLASH\_\*/\*.db file format (one variant was confirmed to work)
Favorite lists for this format are disabled for now (TV ignored them).
- Panasonic: importing a modified svl.bin file caused the TV to use case-sensitive sorting when using the
function to list the names sorted alphabetically. This is now fixed.
- Philips: ChannelMap formats 100-115 did not always fill "Source" and "Polarity" columns correctly
- Philips: improved experimental support for Philips FLASH\_\*/\*.db file formats
(read-only by default, can be enabled in Philips.ini for testing)
- added Polish readme and updated translation (by JakubDriver)
- Philips: support for FLASH/*.bin DVB-T/C and preset DVB-S lists (mgr_chan_s_pkg.db)
- Toshiba: lists with chmgt_type001\\chmgt.bin can now be opened without zipping them
- Toshiba: selecting the hotelopt_type001.bin will now also load the list (if the type is supported)
- Alden: added support for "Alden" Android SmartTV channel list format (dvr_rtk_tv.db)
- lots of documentation around Philips lists
- working configuration for ChannelMap_100 variant with cmdb files (redordering confirmed, hide/lock/rename/favorites are best-effort)
- pressing the "Del"-key on the keyboard no longer deletes a channel when a text editor is open
- dragging a file (or something else) from outside ChanSort over the ChanSort window no longer creates an error
- opening a file containing a read-only channel list now shows the original numbers
".BIN" and ".BIN" to lowercase ".bin".
- Philips: Removing a channel from a list is no longer possible (because it is not supported by the TV's import).
When saving a file, all unsorted channels will be placed at the end of the list.
- support for Philips Repair\mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists is now read-only. Files can be used as a reference list,
but modifying them won't be possible.
- added round-trip unit test for all loaders to check reordering channels and favorites, saving and reloading
- internal code clean-up regarding different favorite list modes (none vs. flags vs. ordered per source vs. mixed source)
- Toshiba settingsDB.db: support for lists without analog tuner data (missing TADTunerDataTable)
- Grunding: failed to load lists where the <Digital> element did not contain a <channels> child element
- W.I.P: reworking the reference list system so that a simple list of channels can be applied to the main channel numbers or a particular favorite list.
(The "Automatically reorder all lists" options currently does not work)
- Philips ChannelMap_100 and later: "Channel" XML elements inside the DVB*.xml files are now reordered by program nr.
- Philips ChannelMap_105 and 110: fixed saving favorite lists (keeping FavoriteNumber="0" in DVB*.xml and only
setting the numbers in Favorites.xml)
- m3u: keep original end-of-line characters (CRLF or LF)
- m3u: detect whether channel names are prefixed with a program number or not, and save the file in the same way.
and original number of bytes for hex-encoded Unicode names (channel name, fav list names)
- Philips ChannelMap_110: setting the "UserReorderChannel" flag in the file to 1
- Philips ChannelMap_45: fixed error when channel names did not match between tv.db and Cable/Terrestrial/SatelliteDb.bin
- Philips: fixed display of symbol rate and frequency (off by factor 1000 depending of list and DVB source)
- Philips: fixed special characters in channel names (e.g. german umlauts)
- Philips: "ServiceType" now only shows "TV" or "Radio". There is no information about HD/SD in the file.
