RawCull 1.6.1 β€” Release Notes

Release date: April 21, 2026
From: v1.5.9 β†’ v1.6.1

πŸš€ What’s new

  • Nikon NEF support added via a new RawFormat-based architecture.
    This expands RawCull beyond Sony ARW workflows and lays groundwork for broader RAW format support.
  • Nikon NEF file support is currently experimental. While other functions are operational, the extraction of focus points is not functioning as expected.

⚑ Performance improvements

  • Grid View selection performance improved from O(n) to O(1).
    In practice, this should make selection interactions much snappier, especially in larger sets.

🧭 Workflow & UX improvements

  • Fixed navigation behavior in Burst Groups, improving consistency while moving through burst sequences.
  • Grid View is temporarily disabled while thumbnails are being created, preventing inconsistent interactions during indexing/loading states.

πŸ› οΈ Under-the-hood changes

  • Refactored Nikon handling into dedicated extraction types:
    • NEF thumbnail extraction
    • NEF JPEG extraction
  • Added a binary TIFF-walk fallback for NEF JPEG extraction, improving resilience across file variants.

🧹 Maintenance & logging cleanup

  • Removed noisy/unused logs, including:
    • CacheDelegate eviction debug logging (commented out)
    • Noisy NEF extractor warning log
    • One additional log message cleanup

Upgrade notes

The next version submitted for upgrade on the Apple App Store will be released sometime next week, and version 1.6.x.
