⚠️ Known Issues

  1. First Scan Slow - Initial library scan computes SHA256 for all files. Large libraries (1000+ models) may take 10-30 minutes depending on drive speed.

  2. CivitAI Rate Limits - Unauthenticated API calls are limited. Add your API key in Settings for higher limits.

  3. Windows Defender - Portable executable may trigger SmartScreen (uncommon publisher). Click "More info" → "Run anyway" if this occurs.

  4. macOS Gatekeeper - May need to right-click → Open on first launch (unsigned binary).


📝 Breaking Changes

None - this is the initial release.
