  • Redesigned the welcome screen.
  • Added option to disable the welcome screen.
  • Added property to disable line feed replacement in Paragraph fields.
  • Added tooltips in the Settings for configured image location.
  • Added a tooltip to show the internal field name for custom fields.
  • Tweaked the report templates to follow color settings.
  • Added option to disable building of documentation.

Bug Fixes

Tellico 4.0 Released

I’m excited to make Tellico 4.0 available as the first version to leverage the new Qt6 and KDE Frameworks 6 libraries. Tellico 4.0 also continues to build with Qt5/KF5 for those who haven’t yet transitioned to the newer versions.

Especially since this has many updates and changes in the underlying library code, please backup your data before switching to the new version. Creating a full backup file can be done by using the Export to Zip option which will create a file with all your images together with the main collection.

Please let me know of any compilation issues or bugs, particularly since I haven’t tested this on a wide range of Qt6/KF6 releases. The KDE builds are all working, which certainly helps my confidence, but one never knows.

Improvements and Fixes

  • Building with Qt6 is enabled by default, falling back to Qt5 for older versions of ECM or when the BUILD_WITH_QT6=off flag is used.
  • Book and video collections can be imported from file metadata (Bug 214606).
  • All entry templates were updated to include any loan information (Bug 411903).
  • Creating and viewing the internal log file is supported through the --log and --logfile command-line options (Bug 426624).
  • The DBUS interface can output to stdout using -- as the file name.
  • Choice fields are now allowed to have multiple values (Bug 483831).
  • The iTunes, Discogs, and MusicBrainz sources now separate multi-disc albums (Bug 479503).
  • A configurable locale was added to the IMDb data source.
  • The Allocine and AnimeNFO data sources were removed.

Tellico 3.5.4 Released

Tellico 3.5.4 is available, with a few fixes.

Improvements and Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug with opening help from the config dialog (Bug 479591).
  • Updated Open Library source to search for comics (Bug 479506).
  • Fixed bug with filter dialog buttons (Bug 479771).
  • Fixed display bug with entry status (Bug 479843).
  • Fixed bug for entry selection after changing group field (Bug 480297).
  • Fixed DVDFr searches with title accents.
  • Updated FilmAffinity data source.

Working Build With KDE Frameworks 6

With KDE’s Frameworks 6 being released recently, I’ve been working on getting Tellico to compile with it. It didn’t actually take too much work since I’ve been gradually porting away from any deprecated functions in Qt5.

There’s plenty to do to make sure everything is fully functional and has the correct appearance. But I’m hopeful to have a release soon. At the moment, the master branch compiles with either KF5/Qt5 or KF6/Qt6.
