A small update to make reports more useful and keep transfer setup simple.

  • Clip previews in PDF reports. Turn on “Include clip thumbnails in PDFs” in Settings → Reports to add a small frame from the start of supported clips. Previews come from a verified backup; files that cannot be previewed still stay in the report. History can export PDFs with previews too.
  • Cleaner, more compact reports. Less repeated text, previews beside filenames, and long notes flow across pages. Intentional metadata exclusions are listed separately from file errors.
  • Optional operator and notes. Tucked under Advanced → Transfer details, remembered between cards and saved with each transfer's reports and ASC MHL.
  • AppleDouble handling moved to Settings. “Ignore AppleDouble metadata files” is under General → File handling. It's on by default when no preference has been saved; existing choices and queued transfers keep their policy. Only recognized metadata companions are skipped, and reports record the exclusions. Other hidden files and camera sidecars are preserved.
  • More useful History details. Recorded sizes, dates and copy/verification times are available in expanded rows. Missing measurements are left blank.

Tested locally across APFS, HFS+, exFAT, case-sensitive APFS and FAT32, including repeated transfers, renaming, project reports, cancellation and injected read/write failures. Mac, iPhone and iPad simulator tests passed.

Thanks to everyone reporting bugs and trying this with different cameras and drives. That testing is making BitMatch better. If something goes wrong, attach History → Export diagnostics to an issue. It doesn't include footage names or paths or send anything automatically.
