Release History

How CLRMO Has Grown

CLRMO ships regular updates across features, performance, and polish. Here's how the app has evolved from first release to today.

v1.4

Attribute Fill Templates & Browse Performance

Define reusable attribute fill templates and apply them to any number of files at once. Browse view performance improved with per-row reactivity.

Attribute fill templates — create named templates with attribute key-value pairs (supports template syntax); apply to clipboard selection, all entities, or a single file from the entity page
Default variable values — set fallback values for template variables at system or database level
Fine-grained browse reactivity — individual rows now re-render independently; faster inline edits on large collections
Tag improvements — tag descriptions, browse ordering, stat links, style builder polish

v1.3

Composite Templates & Conflict Resolution

Rename and move files in a single pass with automatic conflict handling. History navigation, collapsible sidebar, and in-app documentation.

Composite rename templates — combine a path template and a name template into one; full-path conflict detection including files already on disk
Rename conflict blocks — mark a zone in any template ([?_{i:3}?]) and CLRMO auto-increments until a free path is found
History navigation — hover the back/forward buttons to see your full navigation history and jump to any point
Collapsible sidebar — collapse the left panel to give more space to content; state persists across sessions
Find in Browse — jump from an entity page directly to its row in the Browse view

v1.2

Compact Mode, Play History & Tag Aliases

A floating mini-player for staying organized while working in other apps. Full play history, tag aliases, and copy-paste metadata between files.

Compact mode — Ctrl+Shift+M collapses the entire UI to a draggable floating player bar; video-optimized layout
Play history — every play tracked with timestamp and duration; searchable history view under Tools
Tag aliases — define alternate tag names that auto-resolve to the canonical tag; bulk conversion tool included
Tag style templates — define reusable visual styles (CSS class, color, display order) and assign them to groups of tags
Copy tags & attributes — copy metadata from one entity and paste to another; bulk paste via clipboard panel
