RawCull Changelog: v2.3.3 β†’ Latest Commits


πŸ“Έ RawCull 2.3.3

Updated on Apple App Store.

Changes since version 2.3.2 through commit e576ca0.

πŸš€ Highlights

  • Added durable per-file similarity artifacts, allowing Vision feature prints to be reused between sessions.
  • Improved the Burst Groups workflow and similarity-threshold controls.
  • Made the About window context-sensitive across special views.

🧠 Similarity Analysis

  • Persist Vision feature prints individually instead of regenerating them for every burst analysis.
  • Reuse compatible artifacts when reopening or rescanning a catalog.
  • Generate only missing, outdated, or incompatible artifacts.
  • Validate artifacts against the source path, file size, modification date, Vision revision, representation version, preview size, and pipeline version.
  • Automatically migrate compatible artifacts from the previous catalog-wide cache.
  • Store artifacts atomically and prune obsolete entries.
  • Track generation and persistence failures separately.
  • Distinguish between similarity generation and artifact-saving progress.

πŸ’₯ Burst Groups

  • Added an interactive similarity-threshold slider to the Burst Groups home view.
  • Automatically regroup bursts after the threshold changes.
  • Improved burst-analysis progress messages.
  • Added guidance explaining that extracted thumbnails are shown by default and J switches to the embedded JPEG.
  • Simplified the Burst Groups home interface and status presentation.
  • Improved validation of cached burst results using the current similarity-artifact set.

⌨️ Context-Sensitive Shortcuts

  • Made the About window observe the active RawCull workspace.
  • Show only the relevant shortcut card when About is opened from:
    • Zoom Preview
    • Burst Groups
    • Burst Review
    • Manual Comparison
  • Continue showing the complete shortcut reference in normal views.
  • Added explanatory text describing the context-sensitive behavior.

βš™οΈ Cache Management

  • Added a dedicated Similarity Artifact Cache entry to Settings.
  • Display the cache size, artifact count, and storage location.
  • Added an option to purge saved similarity artifacts independently.
  • Kept derived burst-analysis results in their own cache.

πŸ§ͺ Reliability and Documentation

  • Added extensive tests for similarity-artifact persistence, invalidation, migration, cancellation, corruption handling, pruning, and concurrent access.
  • Updated test-isolation support for disk-backed artifacts.
  • Updated the README with the new similarity-analysis and caching architecture.
  • Removed an obsolete merge document.

πŸ”– Version

  • Updated the marketing version from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3.
  • Updated the build number from 229 to 230.
