Status report.

3.1 was ready for release but skipped it to overhaul gui and add id3v1 support for up comming 3.5 release. 3.5 will no doubt be release shortly, all features I want in this version are done Im simply checking and double checking the code.

quick summary of changes since 3.0 to current:

• bookmarks
• tab completion in dir input box
• tabs in main window for quick access to option tabs formerly located in preferences dialog these are: misc, enumurate, truncate and the ned id3v1 tab.
• id3v1 support including: guess tag from file name, basic cleanup on tags, option to set all tags for artist/ album/ comment
• enumerate you can set amount of digits to pad to with zero
• truncate, when using style truncate from middle you can now set what characters (if any) to insert in the middle to symbolize that the file has been truncated.
• Is safe to use weird characters in rm word and special casing lists.
• Is safe to use weird characters in rm words option, regexp character have been turned off by default with the exception of |, or. It can be turned back on under preferences.
• I have a mug shot of myself in the about dailog, needs to be trimmed up etc yet for 3.5.
