This is just a small update to yFlicks, but it contains a lot of things we know you have been waiting for. First and foremost, it reduces the delays you’ve learned to hate when you were adding multiple files to your yFlicks library, and it does so dramatically. Movie metadata — such as preview images and movie durations — are now cached by a separate little helper process we call the “yflickscrawler”, so you don’t have to wait until yFlicks has digested all those new movies before doing anything else anymore.

There is also a new overlay slider control for movie previews, giving you the possibility to skim entire movies with minmal effort — without ever really having to open them.

And there are a lot more little improvments, but this one is kinda important for us, since we’re native German speakers and we’ve had a lot of friends asking for this: yFlicks now has a complete German localization.
