Hey everyone,
a new version of Aspect has been released: 1.0.0-preview.36 (view blog post). You’ll find the download links at the bottom of this post. Simply install over the existing installation to upgrade.
Download
Windows installer
macOS bundle
Linux 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 limited drag’n’drop support on Linux
- The metadata pane now shows the date/time of when an image was added to the library
Enhancements
- Setting up an identical auto import on two devices does not result in duplicates being generated during synchronization
- Fixed the item selection within the synchronization pane getting lost during refreshes
- A progress indicator is now shown while fetching new revisions during the synchronization process
- Sped up the library cloning process when adding a new device to the library
- Improved the update notification to provide direct download links and a link to the release announcement
Bug fixes
- Fixed a possible crash when using the refresh button of the file chooser dialog on Linux
- Fixed a crash when browsing the file system caused by a failure to open the global cache successfully
- Fixed a crash happening when canceling moving a sub collection outside of its collection hierarchy
- Fixed some erroneously reported synchronization errors
- Fixed a possible bogus file synchronization failure for files where at least one inaccessible duplicate exists
- Fixed an issue that caused other network devices running Aspect to not be detected properly
- Fixed a possible crash during unloading the library
- Fixed a possible crash/assertion failure during the synchronization process
- Fixed a possible timing dependent import failure
- Fixed a possible UI hang when pressing the “view” button for synchronization errors
- Dialog windows on macOS are not minimizable anymore, avoiding possibly z-order issues
- Fixed dialogs not being properly centered on Linux
- Fixed a bogus “library lock” failure after another program instance gives up a competed lock
- Fixed a bogus “library lock” failure during the library creation process
- Fixed a crash happening when invoking a library cache defragmentation without having a library loaded
