Import & Export, Auto-import improvements, bugfixes and more

New Features

• IMPORT & EXPORT are here in the form of Satchels! In this new update you can:
  • Export collections to a new .satchel file to share with your friends. Exports can include:
    • the tags from a collection
    • the items in the collection (such as books and maps) including their metadata, cover art and even the files referenced by those items such as pdf's.
    • your settings for that collection such as which file types to exclude from import
  • Import those .satchel files to merge all of its content into one of your existing collections or add it as brand new collection.
  • Both during import and export, you can pick and choose which tags, books and settings you want to keep using a user friendly wizard. You can access this new feature by using the new "Import" and "Export" options near the collections at the top.
    • If you only want to import only the tags, you can go to "Import Tags" > "From a .satchel file" in the "Tags" Tab.
    • If you only want to import the items without any tags, you can select "From a .satchel file" in the "Add Books" Tab.
  • You can find more info about the new .satchel file format here.
• You can now merge collections. This is especially handy when used in combination with import. If you would like to browse a collection you wish to import before merging it into your existing collections, you can simply import it as a new collection and merge it later.
• Added a new context menu to the tags tab which can be accessed by right clicking anywhere or clicking the vertical triple dots, with the following options
  • Sort tags A->Z. #31
  • Export Tags.
• Importing from a folder now allows you to exclude certain subfolders. #58

• COMPASS now saves more often to prevent data loss.
• Info and warning tooltips now appear instantly.
• Added an explainer when zero-padding is applied to the sorting title.
• When auto import tries to import a new file type, it will now always ask what to do with it.
• Increased stability.
• When manually resolving a broken file reference, COMPASS will analyse how the file path changed and attempt to fix other broken links by applying the same change.
