RawCull Changelog — v1.7.0 → 1.7.4

Version 1.7.4 is submitted for update on Apple App Store. RawCull 1.7.0 focuses on faster zoom previews, better cache management, and more reliable culling-data saving.

✨New

  • Full-size JPG disk cache. The zoom view now caches the full-resolution embedded JPEG to disk (~/Library/Caches/no.blogspot.RawCull/FullsizeJPGs/), so re-opening a previously zoomed photo is instant instead of re-extracting from the ARW.
  • “Cache JPGs” button in the catalog sidebar lets you pre-warm the full-size JPG cache for an entire catalog in one go (uses a new ScanAndExtractJPGs actor with progress + ETA).
  • JPG cache controls in Settings → Cache. A new section shows the on-disk size of the full-size JPG cache and adds a Prune action (with confirmation).

🔄 Changed

  • Unified culling grid. The standard grid and the Similarity/Burst grid now share one CullingGridView. Selection, scroll-to-selection, rating filter, the “N selected” status, and the three progress overlays now behave identically in both views.
  • Redesigned Scan Stats sheet — clearer layout for the per-catalog statistics.
  • Smoother progress ETA. The “Estimated time to completion” label is now “Estimated time left”, and the countdown no longer jitters upward when a slow file briefly inflates the average.
  • Cleaner toolbar mode switching. Loupe / Grid / Similarity / Rated buttons go through a single selectMainViewMode(...) helper for consistent state reset.
  • Saved-files persistence moved out of the main view model into a dedicated CullingModel, with debounced JSON writes (350 ms) to avoid hammering disk on rapid rating changes.

📦 Under the hood

  • New concurrency tests for SharedMemoryCache and FocusMaskModel; revisions to thumbnail-cache eviction (CacheDelegate, CachedThumbnail) for safer cross-actor access.
  • Catalog load/cancel path reworked — switching catalogs now reliably cancels in-flight scan, thumbnail, JPG-extract, and sharpness/similarity work.
  • Image extractors (SaveJPGImage, JPGSonyARWExtractor, JPGNikonNEFExtractor) tightened.
