Tellico 3.4 is available, with several new features, updated data sources, bug fixes and build changes. I’m excited about this release. It pulls together a few different things that I’d been working on. I’ve got a few more ideas about charts and reports to be added. The additional coin and stamp data sources really fill a niche. Everything seems to be working really nicely together, so I’m happy to put 3.4 out.
The Group View can now be sorted by fields other than the title.
The MultiFetcher data source was improved to “daisy-chain” results from multiple sources, merging them together. For example, a UPC search with UPCitemdb could be connected such that the result has additional information from TMDb.
Entries can now be filtered using minimum or maximum image size.
There were some additional improvements in image loading which should speed things up. As always, please backup your data file periodically and especially when moving to a new version like this. The easiest method is to export the collection as a Zip file.
Please do let me know of any regressions in functionality, compilation problems, bug in the behavior, or suggestions for improvement!
Tellico 3.3.5 is available, with a few minor fixes. I expect to have version 3.4 ready in a week or so, but it has some build changes, and I wanted to make sure I had a final release from the 3.3.x series to catch the last few fixes.
Improvements
Template colors are automatically updated when the style or palette is changed.
Bug Fixes
Correct reading of audio file metadata and .directory information (Bug 429803).
Updated “Filter by Group” to properly match table fields.
Some changes in the implementation of what used to be kde-apps.org several years ago went past me and I neglected to update Tellico with the changes. Prompted by a Tellico user sharing a new entry template with me, I went back to figure out what was going on.
The templates are also available directly from store.kde.org. The recent one I uploaded, with permission from the user, is called ZAP Group Narrow. Within Tellico, the download dialog shows a description of the template along with a button the install it locally.
The fix for the download location itself will be included in Tellico version 3.4.
