v0.58.1

Changed

• Releasing the originals is quick. When the Lunelis folder is on
  another drive (the migration's target, a NAS), each original used to be
  copied across the network into its Trash - hours for a big source. The
  originals now go to a "_Lunelis Quarantine" folder on their own drive, a
  rename. Nothing is deleted; the Quarantine page finds them as before.
• The release runs as a background job you can watch: its progress is
  on the Jobs button and in the migration window ("Releasing the
  originals", how many are set aside of how many). It pauses, waits for a
  drive that's away and carries on after a restart, like the copy.

Fixed

• Files moved into the Lunelis folder on a NAS (Trash, Duplicates) are no
  longer left hidden.

v0.57.1

Added

• A recognition panel beside the photo. With the face boxes on (the
  Faces button, F), a panel to the left of the photo lists the people, the
  pets and animals and the scene suggestions found in it. A suggested name
  or scene is answered yes or no right there; an unnamed face gets a name;
  a face or an animal Lunelis missed is added by hand; and "Look for faces
  again" runs detection on the photo once more. Pointing at a row
  highlights that face on the photo.
• A better "Who is this?" The dialog shows the face, narrows the list
  of people as you type (with their pictures, the suggested person first),
  and offers Stranger, It's an animal and Not a face as buttons.

Fixed

Every keyboard shortcut was pressed for real in the screen where it is
documented, and these did nothing or the wrong thing:

• S on the Edit page opened the stack in the hidden Library.
• Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] said the photo was turned but didn't turn it on the
  Edit page, nor in the photo view with the Edit panel open; the Edit
  page's two rotate buttons did nothing.
• Ctrl+Z in culling, opened over a photo with an edit in progress,
  undid the hidden edit instead of the rating.
• Left, Right and Space stopped changing photo after a click on a
  button or in the side panel.
• Esc, Up, Down and Enter typed in the tag box or a number box closed
  the photo, changed photo or ended cropping.
• + and - on the Map, and the arrow keys in the Library, did nothing
  after arriving by a click in the sidebar.
• The shortcut sheet now lists Backspace (out of an album) and S
  in the photo view.

v0.56.2

Changed

• The Jobs panel colours each job's state: blue for running, amber for
  queued or waiting, green for done, red for failed, grey for paused or
  cancelled. The word stays beside the dot, so colour is never the only
  signal, and each colour is checked for contrast in both themes.

Fixed

• S did nothing on a burst reached with the arrow keys in the photo
  view. It opened the stack in the Library behind the photo, but the
  filmstrip kept showing one tile. The frames now appear in the filmstrip,
  and the status line says how many there are.

v0.56.1

Fixed

• Release was blocked by source photos the catalog already has
  elsewhere. A file that a library update had recognised as a photo in
  another source was never part of the plan, and the report listed it as
  needing attention. It now counts as "left in place - an identical copy is
  already in your library", after being compared byte for byte with that
  copy.

v0.56.0

Changed

• A migration to a network share copies four files at once. One file
  at a time left a fast link and the NAS mostly idle. Every copy is still
  read back and compared with its original before it counts, and catalog
  entries are still repointed one by one, in order. A file whose place in
  the target is already taken, or wanted by another file, is handled one at
  a time as before. Local drives still copy one file at a time.

Fixed

• After Start over, the emptied target stayed listed as a source, so
  planning into the same place again was refused ("the target overlaps the
  source") until it was removed by hand in Settings.

v0.55.2

Fixed

• Start over couldn't be reached for a migration cancelled from the Jobs
  button. The wizard opened on step 1 as if nothing had happened, while
  the catalog still pointed at the copies. It now opens on that migration's
  Run step, which says what state it is in and offers Start over.

v0.55.1

Added

• Start over on the migration wizard's Run and Release steps: give a
  started migration up. The copy stops, the catalog shows your originals
  where they were again and the Lunelis folder setting goes back, so the
  target can be emptied and the migration planned again. Nothing is deleted
  or moved; the catalog is backed up first. Refused once originals have
  been moved aside.

Fixed

• Photos copied to a NAS came out hidden. A migrated or imported
  Library looked empty in Explorer although every file was there: each copy
  is written under a temporary name that starts with a dot, the NAS marks
  dot-files hidden, and the mark stayed after the rename. Copies are no
  longer left hidden, and the migration wizard's Release step clears the
  mark on what an earlier version copied. A file that was hidden at its
  source stays hidden.

v0.55.0

The look-and-feel pass from the 10 October review, a migration wizard that
says how far the copy is, and a PC that stays awake while a job runs.

Added

• The migration wizard shows progress: the Run step has a progress bar,
  files and size copied of the total, folders done, the measured speed, a
  rough time left and the folder being copied, and says plainly when the
  copy is paused, waiting for the NAS or queued. It refreshes by itself.
• The PC stays awake while a background job runs. Windows put a PC to
  sleep in the middle of a long migration; sleep is now held back for as
  long as a job is running (the screen may still turn off).
• Open the report folder on the wizard's Release step.

Changed

• The Release step answers first: "Every source file is accounted for"
  or "N files need attention", then the counts in plain groups, and the
  file list only when something needs attention. A line says why Release is
  off whenever it is.
• One page header and one filled button per page, named after what it
  does; dialogs fill and name their confirming button.
• Settings: Library is split into "Library" and "Recognition &
  autopilot"; darktable moved into Ratings & sidecars and Updates into
  Advanced; labels are centred on their fields; rows that only apply to one
  choice show only with it.
• Tables and lists: more cell padding, no column lines, one tinted
  selected row everywhere, and a line of text instead of a blank box when
  empty.
• Library: a filter that is on is filled and says its value; Ask is a
  mode of the search box; the photo menu is grouped.
• Photo view and Edit: the top bar leaves the details to the Info
  panel; the tool rail shows which tool is on; the Edit panel opens with
  only Light and Color unfolded (your own choice of sections is kept); the
  video trim row is labelled and shows its times.
• Pages: Import is one aligned row ending in Import; Near-duplicates is
  a list with pictures beside its detail; Create tools are a centred card;
  Library status folds its steps when idle; Quarantine, Sensor dust, On
  this day, Map, Stats, Albums and Scene suggestions were tidied.
• Readability: disabled buttons look off, muted text has more contrast
  and nothing is smaller than 12 px.

Fixed

• The Release step opened during the copy listed every file not copied
  yet as "UNACCOUNTED". It now says the copy is still running and checks
  once it has finished.
• A sub-page highlights its parent in the sidebar, and the status bar
  says the catalog snapshot is "saved", not "backed up".

v0.54.0

The rest of the issues from the 10 October review: 80 fixes, each with a
test. Nine findings that change behaviour or are features in themselves were
left for a decision (RAW auto-brightness, time zones of videos, 16-bit
export, export metadata, more formats and others).

Changed

• The window stays responsive: making thumbnails after an import,
  removing a source, setting one duplicate group aside, counting smart
  albums and reading a folder for import (which can now be stopped) run in
  the background.
• A photo opens from any page - People, On this day, a frame in the
  stack tray - even when the Library is filtered; Back says where it goes.
• Tags, face names and edits reach their sidecars a moment after you
  make them, as ratings do, not at the next restart.
• Faces and folder jobs are faster: known faces are read once per pass,
  and each folder's files are found through the index instead of listing
  the whole source.
• The family gallery prefers your home network over a VPN adapter, opens
  the catalog once per request, and never keeps PIN or error pages in the
  browser.
• Thumbnail memory is capped by size (about 400 MB for the grid), not by
  count.
• Catalog: indexes that make removing files quick after a migration;
  the newest five pre-upgrade backups are kept instead of all of them.

Fixed

• Sidecars: one with no rating cleared the photo's stars; keywords
  added in another program could be overwritten. Sidecars are flushed to
  disk before they replace the old one.
• Import: a full library drive pauses the import with a message instead
  of failing every remaining file; evening imports were filed under
  tomorrow's date.
• A passing read problem (a file open elsewhere, memory short for a
  moment) made a photo "preview unavailable" or "no metadata" for good; it
  is tried again on the next passes.
• Exports: above ISO 65,535 failed with metadata on; a cancelled or
  crashed export left a half-written file under its final name.
• Duplicates: a copy is not set aside unless the one being kept is
  still on disk; verifying several groups in a row skipped the middle ones;
  emptying the quarantine could remove another file's sidecar.
• Selection and keys: Ctrl+A in the photo view selected the hidden
  grid; S, rating keys and Copy edit settings acted on a different photo
  from the one on screen in several cases.
• Migration: a damage flag you dismissed still counted.
• The same folder could be added twice, as a drive letter and as a
  network path.
• 16-bit greyscale scans came out white; smart-album shutter rules
  misread some speeds, and one malformed rule broke the Albums page.
• Start-up: a bad backup zip chosen for restore crashed the next start.
• Updates: a newer test version was not offered over an older one.
• Plus smaller fixes: messages that vanished before they could be read,
  icons that kept the old theme's colour, the Takeout tree collapsing on a
  filter change, People lists jumping to the top, the tray icon always
  switching to the Library, "No" to "Quit anyway?" not being respected.

v0.53.0

Safety fixes from the 10 October review, and a week of interface work.

Added

• Faces menu (the arrow beside Faces): add a person or a pet by dragging
  a box, look for faces in the photo again, and for each face rename, mark
  as animal or person, redraw its box, or remove it.
• Kelvin on the Temperature slider: from the camera's own white balance
  for a RAW; an approximate figure (from 5,500 K) for other files.
• The camera's focus frame at its real size with focus peaking (Sony
  a7R V); a marker for cameras that record only a point; none for manual
  focus.
• An album opens with a Back header (name, count, Back / Backspace); the
  sidebar stays on Albums, and Library always shows the whole library.

Changed

• One Lunelis per data folder: a second start shows the running one
  instead of opening the same catalog.
• The wheel scrolls a panel and never changes a slider, number box or
  drop-down it passes over.
• A scan asked for while one is running is run next, not dropped.
• Backups copy a sidecar that changed after its photo was backed up.

Fixed

• Import: "safe to format the card" was shown while files Lunelis
  doesn't handle (AVI, MXF, WAV, GoPro, some RAW types) were still only on
  the card. It now says which were not copied. A Mac's "._" files are no
  longer imported as photos.
• Backups: a set said "Up to date" when files had failed to copy; it
  now says how many, and they are in the log.
• Selection: photos hidden by a search or filter stayed selected, so a
  rating key, Tag or Export changed photos you couldn't see. The focus
  photo is kept through a reload.
• File checks: a photo edited since the last scan was flagged as silent
  corruption for good. A missing or locked file no longer stops a hash or
  check job.
• Old QuickTime .MOV clips (and BigTIFF) were "not a photo or video",
  and a migration filed them under Damaged.
• Start-up: a failed catalog upgrade (its backup folder offline, a full
  disk) was reported as a damaged catalog; recovery looked for backups only
  in the default folder.
• Faces: looking at a photo again forgot "not a face", stranger and
  animal answers, and froze the window.
• Library: a selection box was sluggish deep in a large library.
• Tags: typing in Find reloaded every card picture; Pets tags can no
  longer be renamed or deleted from the Tags page.
• The stack tray's close button was blank.
