Falcon Photo Viewer 1.0.13

Falcon Photo Viewer is a free, open-source photo viewer and culling app for Windows and Apple Silicon Macs.

What's new in 1.0.13:

• Simplified Chinese. Falcon now follows your computer's language, and its first language pack is Simplified Chinese (简体中文), contributed by @DrivingGodJ in #3. Choose a language in Settings → Language; a change applies after a restart.
• Language packs. Every message Falcon shows can now be translated. A new language needs only data: one entry in the language list and one translations file, checked by scripts/check-translations.py.
• Faster photo grid. After a fast scroll, the rows on screen load first, and the rows you just left are still there on the way back.
• Lighter rendering. Less renderer work and lower memory use for RAW previews; on a Mac that is low on memory, Falcon drops speculative frames first.

Designed by Hancheng Wu. Developed with assistance from Claude and Codex. Thanks to @DrivingGodJ for the Simplified Chinese translation.

Falcon Photo Viewer is a free, open-source photo viewer and culling app for Windows and Apple Silicon Macs.

Browse large shoots, zoom in to check focus, rate and flag keepers, compare photos, and export finished images. RAW + JPEG/HEIC pairs stay together; RAW-only photos offer embedded-preview and developed-RAW viewing.

This first public release includes:

• Fast access to the selected photo and nearby images in large folders, with loading feedback while discovery continues.
• Ratings, flags, comparison, rotation and image export.
• The final app icon, glass menus and a compact About card with public social links.
• The tested native Mac toolbar and fullscreen behaviour.
