RawCull Changelog — v1.8.5 → 1.8.9

To be updated on Apple App Store.

You can now override the algorithm’s automatic burst winner and pick the keeper yourself.

A “Set Manual Winner” button appears in the Comparison view’s burst evidence panel when reviewing a burst group. Select a frame, then click the button to save it as the winner.
The burst group header in the culling grid now shows “Manual winner: …” instead of “Best: …” when a manual choice is active.
The candidate badge on thumbnails changes to orange (“MANUAL”) for the manually chosen frame, and green “AUTO BEST” continues to mark what the algorithm would have picked — so you can always see both at a glance.
A “Manual winner active” notice appears in the comparison panel when a manual override is in effect.
Manual selections are persisted in savedfiles.json alongside ratings, so they survive app restarts and catalog reloads. Stale overrides (for files that no longer exist) are pruned automatically.
When “Keep Best in Group” is run on a burst that has a manual winner, the manual selection takes precedence over the algorithm.

A new “Reanalyze Bursts” button appears in the similarity/burst grouping toolbar.
