Changes in version 1.0a12 (6. November 2012)

Alpha 12 fixes the regression we had where m4v files where no longer editable #27

Finally there is integration with iTunes and a lot of it. You can drag items from iTunes and drop them onto either the MetaZ dock icon or the files table. You can copy items from iTunes and paste them into the files table. MetaZ has a service in the Services menu of iTunes that opens the selected items in MetaZ. Two new When Done actions have been added. One of them, enabled by default, updates the file location and tells iTunes to refresh its meta data if the file was added to MetaZ using any of the above methods. The other adds any file written by MetaZ to iTunes.

This release also contains a reworked notification / event system which is now based on plugins and brings with it support for plugins implemented in AppleScript. The two iTunes related completion actions are in fact implemented in AppleScript. Though the process for doing so is currently a bit involved it should be possible for you to make your own plugins in AppleScript.
