Webcam barcode scanning

Use your webcam as a barcode scanner, to add or find CDs by barcode.

• Scan barcodes with your webcam
  Just use the live camera view to point your webcam at a barcode
  and let our software detect the barcode that is in view.

• Use the webcam scanner to add CDs by barcode
  Pop-up the scan window and scan CD barcodes,
  either using Direct Search or scanning into the Queue.

• Or use it in the main screen to find albums by barcode
  Scan a CD barcode while in the main screen,
  to quickly search your local database by barcode.

• Works best with auto-focus or manual-focus webcams
  Fixed focus cameras will not work well (or at all).

Delete Orphaned Images

Clean up your hard-disk by deleting all unused cover images and thumbnails.

• This tool scans your configured Images Folders to find all images
  that are not linked to your current database file.

• Browse the list of found orphaned images in List or Images View.
  Check thoroughly to make sure these can all be deleted.

• Finally, use the red “Delete Selected Images” button,
  and all “checked” images will be removed from your computer.

WARNING: Do NOT use this tool if you have multiple databases !!!!

Enhanced database Backup and Restore system

Keep multiple time-stamped backups and easily restore them.

• The software now keeps multiple time-stamped database backups,
  saved to your Backups folder as “backup of [yourdatabasename] – [timestamp].muc”.

• Use the new “Number of Days” setting in Tools / Options / Backup to select
  how many days of backups you want to keep. Older files are automatically pruned.

• Use the Tools / Maintenance / Restore Database submenu to easily restore a backup.
  Restored backups are copied back to your Data folder as “[yourdatabasename RESTORED.muc”.
