Version 2.2.4

RawCull Changelog: v2.2.1 → Latest Commits

🖼️ JPG Export Improvements

• Added a new Extract JPGs sheet.
• JPG extraction now works from the current selection:
  • multiple selected thumbnails
  • or the single active image when no multi-selection exists
• Added destination folder selection for JPG export.
• Added export mode picker:
  • Embedded JPG
  • Demosaiced RAW
• Demosaiced exports are saved with a _demosaic.jpg suffix.
• Added extraction progress overlay in the main view.

📷 RAW Loading Refactor

• Introduced a shared RawImageLoading abstraction.
• Centralized metadata, thumbnail, and preview loading through RawParserKit.
• Added FullSizePreviewLoader for reusable full-size embedded preview loading.
• Sidecar .jpg files are preferred before extracting from RAW.
• Full-size preview extraction now reuses disk cache when possible.
• Removed older local thumbnail and preview loading paths.

⚡ Performance and Concurrency

• Added a shared batch extraction concurrency limit based on CPU count.
• Thumbnail creation, JPG extraction, and full-size preview loading now share more consistent loading paths.
• Improved cancellation checks during preview and extraction work.
• Reduced duplicated image-loading logic across zoom, comparison, thumbnail, and scan flows.

🧩 RawParserKit Update

• Updated RawParserKit from 1.1.0 to 1.2.5.
• Migrated RawCull code to use newer RawParserKit APIs for:
  • EXIF metadata
  • focus point metadata
  • thumbnail generation
  • embedded preview extraction
  • full-size JPEG and demosaic export support

🔍 Scanning and Metadata

• ScanFiles now uses the shared raw loader for EXIF and Sony focus-point metadata.
• Removed local EXIF parsing helpers from RawCull.
• Focus point normalization now comes from RawParserKit metadata.
• Security-scoped folder access handling was made more tolerant by only stopping access when it was actually started.

🧪 Tests

• Added tests for JPG extraction selection behavior.
• Added tests for JPG output naming.
• Added integration-style tests for:
  • thumbnail request cache promotion
  • full-size preview disk caching
  • sidecar JPG preference
  • cancellation behavior
  • scan metadata loading through RawImageLoading
• Updated existing tests for current MainActor isolation needs.

🛠️ Tooling and Maintenance

• Added a dedicated RawCullPeriphery Xcode scheme.
• Updated .periphery.yml to use the new scheme and exclude tests.
• Removed obsolete local helper files:
  • SupportedFileType.swift
  • ThumbnailError.swift
  • OrientationNormalizedImageLoader.swift

📝 Documentation and Review Notes

• Moved issue tracking into doc/issues.md.
• Added a deep code review report and later re-verification notes.
• Updated README latest-release text to show v2.2.1 as the App Store release.
