Picard 2.2 released

The Picard Team is proud to announce the release of MusicBrainz Picard 2.2. This version provides a number of new features and bug fixes. Some of the highlights are:

• Files can be moved to sub folders without renaming the actual file (see below for details).
• Colors used for highlighting changes in files and metadata can now be configured in options.
• A new integrated media player toolbar. This feature is considered beta and is disabled by default, but you can enable the toolbar in the menu with View > Player. Please note that the file formats supported by the player depend on your operating system.
• New plugin hooks which trigger when a file was added to a release, a file was removed from a release, a file was saved and a file was loaded.
• Improved support for dropping cover art images directly from Google and Bing image search results.
• Support for ReplayGain 2.0 tags.

There are a few potentially backward incompatible changes.

• Amazon cover art moved to plugin: If you have been using the Amazon cover art you will need to install the Amazon Cover Art plugin in Options > Plugins. The functionality remains the same, we just moved it to a plugin.
• Moving files without renaming creates folder structure: Previously Picard would just drop all files into the selected target folder if “Move files” was enabled but “Rename files” was disabled. This was not very useful. Now Picard will generate the folder hierarchy according to your script.
  If you want to retain the old functionality use a renaming script that does not generate any folder hierarchy (no slash or backslash characters in the script).
• The minimum supported macOS version is now macOS Sierra (10.12) or higher. If you are using macOS 10.10 or 10.11 you can continue using Picard 2.1.3.
