<br>Dear all,<br><br>This is to announce the release of ELAN 4.2.0, again a version with some new features and bug fixes.<br>Some of the new features are:<br><br>- the Annotations from subtraction function, to complement the Annotations from overlaps and Annotations by merging functions<br>
- create multiple transcription files for media files in a selected folder<br>- export annotation overlap information for multiple files to tab-delimited text (experimental)<br>- the File dialogs on Mac are now the native Mac OS dialog, with a sidebar, search field and recent places. The Windows look-and-feel provides provides similar convenient extras<br>
- the extended tier selection tab pane, allowing to select tiers by name, by type, participant or by annotator, is now applied in more places e.g. in most export functions<br>- in single file search queries can now be executed in a custom set of tiers. The result table now contains columns for the parent and for child annotations of each hit - a few import and export functions have been extended with new options<br>
Some of the bug fixes are:<br><br>- Add Participant now maintains the tier hierarchy<br>- a few problems that would freeze the Transcription mode are solved<br>- several problems related to storing/restoring preferences were fixed (visibility and order of tiers, lost shortcut keys)<br>
- play selection in loop mode is improved<br>- improved display of values in the Metadata viewer<br><br>A more detailed list can be found at:<br><a href="http://www.lat-mpi.eu/tools/elan/release-notes.html">http://www.lat-mpi.eu/tools/elan/release-notes.html</a><br>
