Louppe v1.4.0
Louppe 1.4 brings a faster, clearer review workspace: a redesigned Grid and Info panel, easier keyboard navigation, a tidier toolbar, and more responsive work with large folders.
Grid view
- The former Light Table is now the Grid view; the main photo view is now Gallery.
- Photos are grouped by day, each day starts on a fresh row, and filenames appear below the thumbnails.
- Use ↑ / ↓ to move to the photo above or below in the same Grid column. The Grid follows the current photo as you navigate.
- The Info panel can now stay open alongside the Grid (press W), and Grid tiles can be resized with ⌘+ / ⌘−.
- The Browser (formerly Filmstrip) keeps the current photo in view while you navigate.
Redesigned photo info
- A clearer filename header with a one-click rating control.
- Camera and lens are presented together, followed by a more legible exposure row.
- Focal length, exposure compensation, and white balance are surfaced prominently; unusually high ISO values are called out in red.
Toolbar and workflow
- The native Liquid Glass toolbar is regrouped around the review workflow: folder and Clean Up controls; filter, sort, and view controls; centered progress; then undo, browser/info, and export.
- The in-window re-scan button has been removed to reduce clutter. File → Rescan Folder and ⌘R remain available.
- Cleaner, more descriptive hover hints throughout.
Faster, safer large sessions
- Scanning, session-file reads/writes, thumbnail decoding, filtering, sorting, and prefetching have been tightened to keep large folders responsive.
- Clean Up and Undo now perform file work in the background with visible progress, while protecting the session so the whole batch can still be restored exactly with ⌘Z.
- Added focused regression checks for search, persistence order, and Trash/restore pairing.
The release includes the signed macOS app as Louppe.zip.
