🚀 iPhoto v1.0.0 — First Stable Release

📸 A modern, folder-native photo manager for Windows and macOS.

We’re thrilled to announce the first official release of iPhoto v1.0.0! 🎉
Inspired by macOS Photos, iPhoto brings a lightweight yet powerful photo-management experience to desktop users — without database lock-in.

🖼 Overview

iPhoto is folder-native:
📁 Your folders are your albums.
No import, no heavy database — just pure filesystem structure.

Every album stores its metadata (cover, favorites, order, filters) in a small JSON manifest file, and all thumbnails / pairings are cached locally for speed.
Your original photos and videos remain untouched — 100% non-destructive.

✨ Key Features

  • 🎥 Full Live Photo Support
    Automatically pairs HEIC/JPG + MOV files by content-ID or timestamp, with a “LIVE” badge and inline playback.

  • 🗺 Interactive Map View
    Reads GPS metadata and displays your photo footprints on an interactive map.

  • 🗂 Folder = Album
    Each folder becomes an album, managed by .iphoto.album.json (or .iphoto.album).

  • 🧠 Smart Albums
    Built-in “Library”, “All Photos”, “Videos”, “Favorites”, and “Recently Deleted” views.

  • 🖼 Immersive Detail Viewer
    Elegant photo/video viewer with filmstrip navigation and floating playback controls.

  • ℹ️ Floating Metadata Panel
    Inspect EXIF, camera/lens info, shutter speed, aperture, file size, etc.

  • ⚙️ Rich Desktop Interactions
    Drag-and-drop import, context menus (copy / reveal in folder / move / delete / restore), incremental scanning, async thumbnail loading.

🏁 Getting Started

When you first open iPhoto, you’ll see the Basic Library — not bound screen, as shown below:

firstpage

Click “Bind Basic Library…” to select any folder on your computer —
that folder will become your album root.

iPhoto will automatically scan its contents, generate thumbnails, and recognize Live Photos,
creating a lightweight .iphoto.album.json manifest inside that folder.

📁 From now on, you can simply open this folder again to view, manage, or sync your photos directly.

📂 Open a Folder Temporarily / 临时打开文件夹

If you just want to browse a folder without binding it as a library,
you can use the “Open Album Folder…” option from the top menu:

open-album-folder

This lets you temporarily open any directory to preview its photos and videos —
no manifest file will be created, and your original files remain untouched.

🏁 开始使用

首次启动 iPhoto 时，你会看到如下界面：

firstpage

点击 “Bind Basic Library…”（绑定基础图库），然后选择任意一个文件夹，
该文件夹就会成为您的 相册根目录。

iPhoto 会自动扫描其中的照片与视频，生成缩略图并识别 Live Photos，
同时在文件夹内创建一个轻量的 .iphoto.album.json 文件，用于记录封面、精选与排序信息。

📁 此后您只需重新打开这个文件夹，就能直接浏览、管理或同步相册内容。

如果您只是想 临时浏览某个文件夹，而不想将它绑定为永久相册，
可以点击顶部菜单中的 “Open Album Folder…”（打开相册文件夹）：

open-album-folder

此操作将 直接打开并预览文件夹内的照片和视频，
不会创建 .iphoto.album.json 文件，也不会对原始媒体做任何更改。
