App-DrivePlayer-0.2.8

Changes for version 0.2.8 - 2026-04-23

  • Fix: Scanner now decodes UTF-8 at the Drive API boundary, preventing double-encoded mojibake (e.g. "Nazan Ãncel" instead of "Nazan Öncel") from landing in SQLite. New tools/fix_mojibake.pl repairs existing corrupted rows.
  • Edit dialog: context menu "Edit Metadata…" and "Fetch Metadata…" consolidated into a single "Edit…" with a Fetch button inside the dialog. Fetch fills only blank fields (whitespace-only counts as blank); to refresh a populated field, clear it first.
  • Edit dialog: entries force LTR layout with an invisible LRM prefix, so RTL content (Arabic, Hebrew) no longer flips the dialog to right-justified after a fill. Text strippers remove the marker on read so nothing leaks into the DB or queries.
  • Display: tracklist, sidebar, and now-playing label strip leading track-number prefixes from titles, leading YYYY- from albums, and underscores across title/artist/album. Stored values stay raw — DB lookups and sheet sync are unaffected.
  • Sheet sync: single-track metadata saves now update just the one row on the relevant worksheet (two Sheets API calls total — values.get on the drive_id column, then values.update on the matching row) instead of rewriting every tab.
  • Save: metadata edits refresh the single tracklist row in place, preserving sidebar selection and scroll position (was a full _load_library that bumped the user back to the "All Tracks" view).
