  • Dark / Light theme did not properly update the default album art cover
  • Deleting multiple songs did not always properly recalculate the statistics
  • Moving horizontally with the keyboard left and right keys was disabled while an Open/Save dialog was open – instead, Colibri would seek forward/backward
  • Loading a playlist file would cause the Sandbox window to constantly pop up
  • Saving a playlist with at least one network stream in it would cause it not be restored properly on loading

  • FLAC files wouldn’t always reload their album arts if Album Art was disabled then re-enabled during playback
  • Network streams would cause preload to stop playback instead of continuing
