Что нового:

Usher 2.0 Beta
The Bad News

• Switched from QuickTime to AVFoundation (a.k.a. "QuickTime" X) for movie playback, because the real QuickTime, which Usher was built upon, will not work on macOS 10.15 Catalina. As a direct consequence of this, movie conversion and exporting, along with some movie editing functionality, have been removed, at least for now.
• AVFoundation-based Usher also supports fewer file formats, if only because it can't use plugins like Perian and Flip4Mac anymore, but read on for ways to ease the file format pain.
• Removed auto-properties, which haven't worked in quite some time anyway, because the underlying database went away.
• Table columns will reset to the default once, because of an overdue internal change.

New Features

• If Usher cannot open a file, it now falls back to opening it in the file's assigned default app — i.e., the same app you'd end up with if you double-clicked the file in Finder. For each app, Usher requests your confirmation at least once, so you have a chance to correct weird default apps in Finder as you go.
• You can now specify JSON default viewer rules in Usher's Advanced preferences. Match URLs via regular expression or an "Extensions" value that consists of whitespace-separated filename extensions. Alternatively, you can still assign apps to individual files via context menu or Info dialog.
• After opening a file in VLC, Usher can now monitor VLC and continue with the next file in a given Usher playlist once VLC playback of the first file has concluded. This is disabled by default, but for those who have VLC installed, there's a checkbox in Usher's General preferences.
• By default, full screen mode now uses a separate Space, making it more similar to modern macOS's standard full screen mode.
• You can now check/uncheck tags and property values for a single file or multiple files directly from within the context menu. This is the most convenient thing ever.
• Smart playlists that are subdivided by defined properties (or tag/property value subdivision's new default, "all") now automatically add a second subdivision step for each property's respective values.
• Smart playlists can now be subdivided by property values along the lines of "Cast + Director" (either as the only specified value, or in addition to others), resulting in a subdivision hierarchy that's similar to subdividing by defined properties, but restricted to the "+"-separated properties. Yeah, subdivision is a geeky feature.
• Smart playlists with active relative-date-based criteria (e.g., "date added is within the last 3 days") now display +/- toolbar buttons that let you quickly change between days, weeks, months, and years for the date criteria, thereby giving you a convenient way to look a little further into the past, then switch back.
• In addition to single-value matches, the Similar context submenu now lists files that match all values for a given tag/property. And if an item has multiple tags/properties, Similar lists other items that match all values for all of those tags/properties below the tag/property-specific submenus.
• Choosing the parent menu item of a tag/property-specific submenu in Similar, or choosing Similar itself, now triggers a filter search that will reveal all similar files at that level, including the reference file.
• Movie and image files can now be mirrored.
• Usher can now play movies in reverse and/or at double speed. Option-click the fast forward/backward buttons or choose the corresponding menu items to switch between those playback modes.
• You can now drag cover and preview images out of the Info dialog to export them.
• Usher now supports dark mode.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Improved drag & drop reliability.

• Improved the index image editor's efficiency and responsiveness.
