New features

  • Added a completely new scripting API documentation
    • Individual functions and classes now have their individual detailed documentation page, often with examples

Enhancements

  • “Add-ons” are now called “extensions”, which is more consistent with the term “browser extensions”
  • Added CollectionNode.addItem() and .addItems() scripting APIs
  • Improved the appearance of the dialog for the prompt() scripting API
  • Improved search performance for libraries with many different keywords or collections
  • Searching for a text now requires all words to match for an image to be included in the search

Bug fixes

  • Removed a number of unsafe setter methods from the scripting API
    • Setters used to be exposed for all library node properties, even those that may break the library structure if not used with care
    • All of these setters have been removed and will be replaced with higher-level functions
  • Fixed the text in the source code scroll bar of the snippets setting page overlapping the UI to the right
  • Fixed an issue where metadata fields of an image that were not repeated in the XMP sidecar file would not display in the metadata pane
  • Fixed an issue where certain application settings were stored in the app.settings file as numbers instead of as readable strings
  • Fixed the UI being blocked briefly when refreshing the keyword tree with a large number of keywords in the library
  • Fixed a possible crash when dragging files on a collection in the collection bar
  • Fixed a rare crash when shutting down the application at a particular moment

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!
