Most important changes:
- Custom actions improvements:
- containing directory is now available in the command syntax;
- "Open containing directory" default action no longer fails when the path contains certain special symbols, works in MS Windows and is enabled by default;
- xdg-open is now used in default actions;
- It is now possible to run independent Venturous instances concurrently. "Independent" means instances with different preferences directories, for example owned by different users of the same system.
- A new option - Skip recent history item count - allows to exclude a specified number of recently played items from random selection. This option can be used to eliminate the possibility of the same item being played twice in a row or soon after the previous time.
Note: do NOT download source code archive, use git clone instead.
The git way is necessary because there are several submodules, which will not be initialized properly after downloading archive, which in turn will cause configuration script to fail.
Warning: Venturous does not work well in MS Windows unless audtool is manually built and set up. Pre-built Windows binaries are no longer released because building them takes time and I doubt anyone uses Venturous on this platform.
