Free SongLens 2.0

Thanks. I appreciate it and glad you found some value in the app. All in all, it's been a lot of fun, and good to get my hands on code again.

Likewise - it's been good to get MY hands on YOUR code! (Seriously though - great job Doc, and thanks again for your generosity and your accommodation. ) What a great utility!

I am so thankful for this app and so sad to hear that it will be abandoned.

I would gladly donate $ if this inspired further development.

"Art is never finished, it is only abandoned...." Never say never If I think of some feature that would make a real improvement, but for now I'm out of ideas. Thanks for the support and hope you continue to get benefit.

SongLens 2.0 (Black Friday Edition)

I couldn't leave well enough alone, so I streamlined the interface and added some new features and enhancements, adding a (very) simplified degree of workflow organization and catalog analysis features.

New to You

• Added a customizable Status, Genre and Star-based rating system. Use the default Status and Genre tags or create your own through Tools -> Preferences
• Added the ability to create searchable, custom text columns.
• Added Bulk Edit for assigning Status, Genre, and Ratings across songs in the current view. Check the songs you want to assign the same Status, Genre or Rating. Select any 1,2 or 3 of the categories and click Apply. You can clear the selections and select another set or click Done and exit Bulk Edit. (tbh, the doing of it is a lot simpler than the explaining of it)
• Added Saved Views to the SongLens View that store and recall visible columns, order and widths, sort levels, and active searches. A saved view can include the active date filter. Switch between active views with the forward and backward arrows on the header.
• Replaced the raw Attributes tab with an alphabetical plug-in manifest showing device categories and preset formats, when available. There is a single row for every plug-in found in the song. ie. 16 instances of Kontakt 8 displays as one row. To see every instance, view the "Tracks" tab.

Search And Analysis​

• Expanded Advanced Search with Status, Genre, and Rating rules and sorting across up to four fields. Saved Searches retain their sort levels.
• Gratuitously added Statistics for to see distributions in the current view, including table and chart views, plus single-song comparisons with the full catalog. Mostly useful when you want to know things like, how many songs you thought were bangers and are still a Work in Progress? The hard truth will be revealed, and if you're me, too many. Not the most useful thing going, but kind of cool. ​

As always, comments, suggestions and, yes, constructive criticism are welcome.
