Hey everyone,

a new version of Aspect has been released: 1.0.0-preview.31 ([view blog post](https://aspect.bildhuus.com/blog/posts/aspect-preview-31)). You’ll find the download links at the bottom of this post. Simply install over the existing installation to upgrade.

## Download

[📎 Windows installer](https://download.bildhuus.com/packages/aspect/aspect-1.0.0-preview.31-setup.exe)  
[📎 macOS bundle](https://download.bildhuus.com/packages/aspect/aspect-1.0.0-preview.31-macos.zip)  
[📎 Linux AppImage](https://download.bildhuus.com/packages/aspect/aspect-1.0.0-preview.31-x86_64.AppImage) (experimental)

Please remember: Even though the software is reasonably stable at this point, **always make a backup of your data, or work with a copy of it, when using pre-release software**.

## New features

- Implemented collection metadata templates (Pro)
  - Allows to assign a set of metadata to a collection
  - Images in the collection will automatically be assigned that metadata
  - Taking images out of the collection will automatically remove matching metadata
  - Allows to organize and assign metadata at the same time
  - Makes it visible and modifiable what metadata is assigned to all involved images

## Enhancements

- Greatly sped up the initial photo folder scan when creating a new library
  - The checksum of each file are now computed during the “analyzing images” process
  - During the actual scan, only the directory structure and metadata is read
  - The time estimate is now typically initially more accurate

- On Windows and Linux, invoking the app while it is already running will process the command line arguments in the already running instance instead

## Bug fixes

- Fixed an issue where invalid sub-second metadata fields resulted in a lost capture time/date
- Fixed a possible OpenGL related crash during shutdown
- Fixed clipping errors occurring in the event image strip and image scanning indicator

Feel free to leave any feedback here or in the [bug reports](https://community.bildhuus.com/t/bug-reports) sub forum. Thanks for helping to shape a new way of organizing photos!
