List of changes since R16:

  Can now launch mac OS app bundles, not just standalone executables or shell scripts.
• CD Ripper: rip to temp folder now works correctly.
• CD Ripper: prevented automatic meta lookup after tags have been manually edited.
• Corrected "ID Tag Processing" DSP crash on invalid input.
• Improved context menus for file list sub-dialogs, in batch converter and conversion setup dialogs.
• Added the ability to clone Batch Converter presets along with conversion settings. [beta 2]
• Made CD Ripper prevent system sleep. [beta 2]
• Fixed album art lookup failing to fetch content from specific sources. [beta 3]
• Fixed "error overwriting file" bug when ripping to external drive or a NAS. [beta 3]
• Fixed various edit tags dialog glitches. [beta 4]
• Fixed slow reading of specific ID3 tags containing large pictures. [beta 4]

• Edit tags dialog tweaks. [beta 6]
• Batch Converter: fixed some cases where recursive selection was ineffective. [beta 6]
• Batch Converter: added "edit tags" in file list context menu. [beta 6]
  You can now mass edit tags on a folder, recursively - select a folder, open file list, select all, choose "edit tags" from the context menu.

Updated to R16.2

Changes since R16.1

• Fixed Apple AAC encoder bitrate slider glitch
• CD Ripper can now deal with discs having 98 or 99 tracks.
• CD Ripper fixed spurious file rename error messages sometimes appearing when using Multi Encoder.
• Batch Converter: Prevented left pane from becoming zero sized.
• Updated Opus library to 1.2.1
• Improved handling of Converter logs:
  "Display Information Log" option now sticks
  When converting to one of the lossless formats with verify integrity option enabled, a notice about successful integrity check is added to the information log. Before, verification would only give feedback if an error was detected.
  Information logs can be brought up by a menu command after completed conversion without "Display Information Log" checked.
• Prevented character substitution rules from messing with source path when converting to the folder containing source files.
• Now allows trailing dot and space characters in file & folder names.
• Improved compatibility with Opus files written with FFmpeg.
• Improved enumeration of volumes on Mac OS High Sierra machines.
• Multi Encoder now obeys dBpoweramp's file name character rules.
• Made CD Ripper genre box wider.
• CD Ripper: Fixed toggling specific metadata providers not having an effect if PerfectMeta has not been toggled.

• Improved error messages when destination folder cannot be created.
