RawCull Changelog — v2.0.5 → 2.1.8

Submitted for update on Apple App Store.

🔍 Actual-Pixels Inspection

Added Z as a fast inspection shortcut from grid, loupe, and comparison views.
Opens the zoom overlay directly on the embedded JPEG at an actual-pixels zoom level.
Centers the view around the AF focus point when one is available.
Shows the focus-point marker on open for faster sharpness checking.

⭐ Faster Culling Flow

Rating, reject, keep, and tag actions now advance automatically to the next image.
The same advance behavior is available in thumbnail navigation, zoom overlay, and comparison grid workflows.
Catalog loading now preselects the first visible file by name, so keyboard culling can begin immediately.

🧭 Orientation-Correct Previews

Normalized source orientation for thumbnails, embedded previews, sharpened previews, comparison images, and zoom previews.
Improved handling for Sony embedded previews that do not carry their own orientation metadata.
Added corrected transform handling for EXIF orientation values, including rotated and mirrored images.

🧠 Adaptive Memory Handling

Added adaptive preview and grid cache recommendations based on installed memory, current system memory use, and macOS memory pressure.
Reduced cache budgets automatically when memory pressure is warning or critical.
Updated default cache settings for different memory tiers.
Simplified the memory warning banner and added a close button.

🪟 About Window

Added a native About RawCull window.
Replaced the standard app info command with RawCull’s custom About window.
Included app version/build information and a compact keystroke reference.

🗂️ Saved Files View Cleanup

Split saved-files UI into smaller focused components for catalog rows, file rows, detail rows, section headers, and star ratings.
Kept the saved-file detail presentation while making the view easier to maintain.
Added a FileRecord convenience initializer for previews and tests.

🧪 Tests

Added and expanded Swift Testing coverage for culling auto-advance, thumbnail/cache admission, zoom overlay key actions, comparison navigation, and thumbnail provider behavior.
Added coverage for Z actual-pixels inspection in comparison navigation.

🛠️ Maintenance

Aligned project versioning across build settings and release branches.
Added a test-performance Makefile target.
Performed cleanup in scoring parameter UI and cache-related code.
