    Favorite lists in this format are disabled for now (they didn't work)

    function to list the names sorted alphabetically. This is now fixed.

  • ChanSort didn't work properly with Windows region settings that don't convert ".BIN" to lowercase ".bin" (e.g. Turkey)
  • Philips: added ChanSort.Loader.Philips.ini file to try out different configurations until working ones get confirmed.
  • Philips: disabled deleting channels for most file formats (they require files for menu and tuner to be kept in-sync).
  • Philips: identified several variants of ChannelMap_100 format which now have special handling.
    • one that exports *cmdb*.bin files is now fully tested and working.
    • ones that export only .xml files inside the channellib and s2channellib folders should work too, but not confirmed.
  • Philips: ChannelFormat_105 and 110 specific settings in .ini, currently best-effort without user confirmation.
  • Philips: added support for Repair\Mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists. Can be read as a reference list, but editing is
    currently disabled in the .ini file (enabling it is experimental)
  • added experimental support for 8 variants of "dtv_cmdb_2.bin" DVB-S channel lists (DVB-C/T not supported yet).
    Brands known to use this format include Sharp, Toshiba, Dyon, OK.
    Philips also uses this format as part of ChannelMap_100, but only for the tuner data and uses .xml for the menu.
    All variants need specific configuration in the ChanSort.Loader.CmdbBin.ini file. If your file is not supported yet,
    please send it to me via github or email.
  • Sony: Files with incorrect checksum are no longer rejected, as the TV seems to ignore bad checksums.
    Information about a bad checksum is visible under File / File Information.
  • Sony: Sky option channels are now in the TV channel list rather than data channel list
  • LG: added distinction between analog cable and analog antenna channels for legacy binary files (xxMODEL00001.TLL)
  • updated Hungarian translation. Thanks to efi99 on Github!
  • pressing the "Del"-key on the keyboard no longer deletes a channel when a text editor is open
  • dragging a file (or something else) from outside ChanSort over the ChanSort window no longer creates an error
  • opening a file containing a read-only channel list now shows the original numbers

Update 20:10 UTC:

  • fixed broken Philips .ini settings for formats 100, 105 and 110

Update 2021-09-06:

  • renamed package to _1600 to prevent incorrect "A newer version is available" notifications

ChanSort 2021-07-26 Pre-release
Pre-release

User interface overhaul:

  • view can now be toggled between
    • split view: classic ChanSort UI with 2 tables side-by-side for the ordered and the old/full channel list.
      This view is used by default when building a new list from scratch or starting with a reference list.
    • single-table: simplified and more intuitive UI (but harder to keep an overview).
      This view is used by default when you choose "Modify current list" after opening the channel list file.
  • added option to select a color theme.
    The UI now uses the "Office 2019 Colorful" theme by default, the old theme was "Office 2010 Blue".
  • improved many keyboard shortcuts (open the drop-down menus to see the shortcuts)
