Enhancements
- The default storage mode for new library instances is now “manual selection” instead of “all originals”, avoiding accidental synchronization of all photos after adding an instance
- Fixed a performance issue that caused the UI to become sluggish while typing search expressions in libraries with a large number of keywords present
- Heavily reduced time and memory use when creating a new library revision after adding a large number of new files to an existing folder
- The application now shows a “SHUTTING DOWN” status page while performing the application shutdown
- Added mitigation code for external background processes on Windows that lock newly created files directly after their creation, leading to possible image cache update failures
- Added a note about multi-drive library setups to the scanned folder settings page
Bug fixes
- Fixed the warning notification for insufficient storage settings not updating when no other library instances are online
- Fixed a possible crash after disconnecting the external drive that contains the library
- Fixed a possible crash at shutdown when inside details view
- Fixed a possible application hang at shutdown when the application attempts to present a message dialog window
Feel free to leave any feedback here or in the bug reports sub forum. Thanks for helping to shape a new way of organizing photos!
