Army Knife (2003 Remix)
Version 3.2.0
Original Army Knife written by Jason Burgess.
2003 Remix by Christian Packmann <Christian.Packmann@gmx.de>.
About
A slightly improved Army Knife version. Only includes binary and source, please get the original Army Knife archive for the original documentation.
Usage
For basic information, read the original Army Knife documentation.
The new stuff: there are some enhancements in file-list navigation: it's possible to select first/last/next/previous item, and all menu items have shortcuts, so you'll rarely have to resort to your mouse while editing a list of files. I'm too lazy to list all the items/shortcuts; just examine the menus.
Also note that the "Edit" menu has a new item "Apply Changes", also with shortcut, which can be used instead of the "Apply" button.
Future
As far as I'm concerned: about nothing.I'm specifically not interested in adding MP3v2 tag support, as I don't use MP3, and regard it as obsolete.
Adding proper Ogg Vorbis support, i.e. ability to write Vorbis comments and allowing multi-line tags, is pretty much a non-option; Army Knifes internal structure is not suited for that. If you are interested in a real Ogg Vorbis tag editor, let me know; if there's enough interest, I may write one.
Changes
| 3.2.0 (2003.10.15) |
- Improved menus by adding some items, and providing keyboard shortcuts for all important functions.
- Disabled writing of MP3 tags to Ogg Vorbis files; when you try to do this, the operation will fail silently. Attributes get written normally.
I made this change as MP3 tags will invalidate Ogg Vorbis files; at least ogginfo thinks so and reports a mangled file structure. This has shown no negative effects so far, but I don't want to wait for them.
- Possibly other minor changes which I've forgotten.

Compiling
If you want to compile yourself, you'll have to grab the complete source from BeUnited CVS; I've only included the changed Army Knife sources, but not those of the required support routines.
