Fission

What's New Version 1.6.12:

What's New Version 2.1.0:

* Album artwork now properly appears in the file's icon when available.

* Any file can now use the "Save As Chapterized AAC" option, regardless of its current file format or number of clips present.
* Fission's Save dialogs now properly handle file extensions.
* Files imported via QuickTime now only allow for an Export, to avoid overwriting the original file.
* In addition to the iTunes dragging noted above, the Start window now takes drags of all document types Fission can open.
* An issue where converting file formats erroneously produced CBR files (despite claiming to make VBR files) has been corrected.
* A problem where the Undo menu item unhelpfully said "Undo Button" for several actions has been fixed.
* The Start window no longer appears than immediately disappears on launch, when Fission is opening to a file. It also no longer immediately reappears when closed if no other windows are open.
* The delete and backspace keys now both perform the same expected functions.
* Issues caused by Fission overzealously writing its file icon, such as other applications not correctly changing the icon at a later point, have been removed.
* Erroneous errors which could pop up when cancelling transcoding, exporting, or saving have been fixed.
* When an error occurs during Batch Conversion, the Batch Converter continues with the rest of the files after the error dialog is dismissed.
* Closing the Start window no longer immediately re-opens it.
* "Remove & Split" has been renamed to "Remove and Split" in the Clip menu.

* Chapterized AAC files which must be converted now save to the 128 kbps 44.1 kHz stereo AAC format (instead of 192 kbps).
* "Save As Chapterized AAC" is always available now, regardless of original file format or number of clips present.
* Chapter images for Chapterized AAC files are now all padded to the size of the largest image.
* An issue where closing an unsaved document in trial mode could still result in a corrupting save has been fixed (2.0.0a2).
* "Export Selection" now features the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-E.
* A new hidden preference for checking for Normalization Clipping has been added, accessible from the Debugging window.
* Custom format selections for exporting and batch converting have been improved to prevent invalid formats.
* Fission's accessibility for visually imparied users has been improved, correctly labeling several unlabeled elements.

What's New Version 2.1.1:
* Fission's Batch Converter now accepts folders (containing audio files), as well as individual files.
* The Save panel now correctly remembers the last location to which files were saved.
* An issue with chapterized AACs and very large image files has been corrected.
* Fission now has a hidden preference, accessible via the Debugging window, to check for and prevent rare Normalization clipping.
* Several other small bugs have been corrected.
* An issue where attempting to Save (with Cmd-S or by choosing Save) would cause an error for users of the Mac App Store version has been corrected.

What's New Version 2.1.2:
* A problem some users saw with Exporting and Transcoding acting unresponsive, even as it worked, should now be gone. Fission is sorry if it seemed to be ignoring you while it worked.
* The Start Window now remembers its state between files and launches. If you close it, it'll stay pretty well closed, and not annoy you so much. But please, don't you forget about it.
* Fission now better remembers previously used settings for saving and exporting. Amnesia be gone!
* Progress bars should now appear more reliably when exporting audio.
* An issue where the Mac App Store version of Fission would fail to save to a previously-specified location is now fixed.
* Several small issues related to re-encoding of audio have been corrected, preventing unnecessary re-encoding.
* Fission is now better a reading in chapterized AAC files. It was already pretty great, to be sure, but now it's even better.
* Several VoiceOver improvements have been made, with labels on previously unlabeled controls. We've still got more work to do, so watch for further updates, VoiceOver users!
* A conflict with Many Tricks' window manager Moom, which caused the selection of split points to fail, has been handled.
* Assorted rare crashes should now be even more rare, so rare that you might suspect they're gone entirely, which they are!
* There are probably other improvements which we've forgotten. The best way to be sure you've got them is, of course, to update.

The Batch Converter has been updated to properly handle all Windows Media files, as well as ALAC-encoded CAF files, and more.
A crash where the App Store version of Fission could crash when inserting silence has been corrected.
Fission now handles .m4a_partial files, to recover corrupted AAC files.

Fission now better handles UTF-8 in ID3 tags.
Simply moving the playhead no longer dirties a file.
Fission had a problem with overusing the CPU when all windows were closed. That problem has been eradicated.
