22.2 - iconik

Broken media detection; Hedge will show a warning when zero-byte media files are detected on the Source (You can all thank Judy for the idea!).
macOS Ventura has an issue setting timestamps on exFAT drives, so we made a workaround for that. (Thanks for reporting, Ben).
Want to run a script immediately when Hedge starts? Now you can, with the new Hedge Started event.

Official support for macOS 13 Ventura!

Fix for a rare case where preset values would be cleared after a transfer.

Custom date elements (available in Hedge Pro) now automatically use the system settings if no value is provided.

With this release, we're bringing back a much-requested workflow: Batch Sources. You can now start transferring multiple sources in one go, all using the same preset — with just one click 🚀
Hedge now polls for changes like updated system time regularly.

Clip Review (a Hedge Pro feature) was not showing any stills, that's fixed.

Fixed an edge-case that caused Hedge to crash when adding Transfers (Thanks for sending in those crash reports, all!).

Added support for Codex Device Manager 6.1
MHL Awareness for ASC MHL: if a source contains ASC MHLs, those checksums are used by Checkpoint rather than regenerating them from the source.
ASC MHL history is now fully supported.

For some users, the Hedge app icon had a bit of an identity crisis, appearing to be a folder. No longer, thanks to Andy and others.

New integration: iconik.

22.1 - Elements

The "Preparing..." state, which handles indexing, MHL awareness, and duplicate detection is now much, much faster and less RAM hungry when a Source contains large MHLs and Checkpoint is enabled.

Clearing Elements is now also possible to do from the Review pane when not using presets.
With Auto Labels, the Source Name element would not always refresh properly.

The Review pane now shows more elements without having to scroll.
The Counter would sometimes refuse to increment, that's fixed.
Some pop-ups were hard to read in light mode, that's fixed too.
