# Version 1.5.2
- Opening both a file or a folder now contains support for reading some metadata from the BIDS structure. Both options will still function if this metadata is not present
- Currently only the AGE metadata is grabbed and is auto populated into the participants AGE field and displayed on their bubble
- If the participants have metadata, a popup will be displayed asking if the user wants to group the participants by their metadata
- If the user wants to create groups, a dialog box is presented allowing them to do so. Once completed, the GROUP value will be automatically applied to all applicable participants
- Added two new options to the Export to CSV Viewer: Export Configuration to CSV and Paragraph of Configuration
- Export Configuration to CSV will export the parameters utilized for each file into a CSV formatted file to provide additional validation of what parameters were used
- Paragraph of Configuration will generate a ready-to-go paragraph explaining in a more friendly and easy to follow manner of what parameters were used
- Chunked the loading of folders to provide more feedback to the user instead of hanging the application waiting for all files to load
- Fixed an issue with the build script not properly updating the version string causing the application to falsely think that an update was always available
- Fixed an issue where parameters that were dependent on SHORT_CHANNELS were not properly being updated
- Fixed an issue where files that failed processing were not having their progress bar turn red at the step that failed
- Fixed an issue where progress bars were not updating when MAX_WORKERS was set to a value higher than default
- Fixed an issue where a high value of MAX_WORKERS was never hit the targeted value due to not being able to spawn the workers fast enough
- Fixed an issue causing numerous 'Invalid File' popups to appear upon closing the application while files were still having their initial metadata being grabbed
- Added a time elapsed message to the status bar denoting how long processing has been going on for. When processing is complete, it will change to be the time elapsed
- Added a speedup multiplier to show how much time was saved by having MAX_WORKERS not set to 1. This multiplier is calculated using a naive approach and may not be accurate
