Unfortunately, the folders are a little hard to find on both operating systems. On OS X, ~/Library/ is hidden-use Go -> Go to Folder. On Windows, simply copy the mentioned path and paste it into the File Explorer's path field.īefore you open the file, please make sure that beaTunes is not running. If you're using multiple, folder-based libraries, you should see something like this: Then take a look with your favorite text editor, e.g. In essence, this describes two folder-based libraries: One based on folder_a and one on folder_b. All you need to do to combine both libraries into one, is to move the -element describing folder_b to the -element containing folder_a. Once that is done, you can remove the now empty -element for folder_b. Now save the preferences2.xml file, start beaTunes and select the library we just modified. To identify which one it is, open the beaTunes general preferences and open the combo box that lists the existing libraries. When hovering over the items with the mouse, beaTunes will show all root-folders for each library in the tooltip (screenshot). Once the right library is selected, you may need to synchronize via the File menu, if beaTunes isn't doing it automatically.

I'm proud to write that today beaTunes 4.6 will be available for download as a free update for existing beaTunes 4 customers.

Probably the most important new feature is the much improved high-resolution display support for Windows (sometimes referred to as HD or 4k). Yay! No more squinting to read an artist's name! As Windows hardware has slowly caught up with Apple's early Retina offensive and the Windows OS has started to support HiDPI displays much better, it was definitely time for this step. What was holding me back, was Java 8's lack of HiDPI support for Windows. To this day, there is still plenty wrong with it, so I had to build a few workarounds. Still, if you're using Windows with a high-resolution display, you will eventually notice some left-over rough edges, e.g. Those are presented by the Java Runtime Environment and pretty impossible to fix without patching the runtime itself. Luckily, the Oracle Java team is working hard to bring better HiDPI support to Java 9 and hopefully backports some fixes in the process. It may just be a matter of time, until all the little things are resolved.Īs we're already talking technical stuff-there's good news for JavaScript hackers! beaTunes now officially supports JavaScript as plugin scripting language. You may remember that Groovy, Jython, and JRuby are already supported. Because JavaScript uses prototypical and not class-based inheritance, plugins are created in a slightly different way.

But thanks to the Nashorn extensions, it's relatively easy for your JavaScript code to interact with beaTunes. Examples can be found in the beaTlet tutorial as well as on GitHub.

BTW: the shipped implementations for Groovy and JRuby have been updated. Pretty much with every minor (not micro) beaTunes update, an inspector gets a little makeover.
