Find Images 0.1.55-1

[0.1.55-1] - 2026-08-21

Changed

• Removed a redundant per-query source rescan, cutting roughly 4 seconds of overhead from each search.
• Cache the embedding model fingerprint between searches, making repeated searches up to ~65% faster.
• New query now keeps your current Max results value instead of resetting it to the default.
• Draw Things project timestamps are now stored in a machine-parseable format.
• Standardized internal embedding status-message handling.
• RAW Images is now a simple on/off group switch over the RAW formats in Enabled Image Formats, instead of a separate independent setting.

Fixed

• Fixed long file names in the Details panel running past the edge instead of truncating.
• Fixed Purge inactive multimodal embeddings to work across every embedding model and dimension.
• Fixed Purge inactive multimodal embeddings to also correctly account for Enabled Image Formats/RAW Images.
• Fixed some source changes (e.g. Working Directories, Chat Attachments, Draw Things Projects) not triggering a re-sync when returning to the app from Settings.
• Fixed incorrect LoRA order shown for some Draw Things project images.
• Fixed Draw Things project images not being fully usable as a reference image.

Find Images 0.1.53-1

[0.1.53-1] - 2026-08-10

Added

• Added a setting to control update checks at startup; search engine updates are now signaled through the toolbar Update button, just like app updates.
• New runtime engine v2026.08.10-b9951-376: Vision encoding for Qwen3-VL embedding and reranking now runs fully on the GPU on Apple Silicon; CPU fallback inside the image encoder was removed.
• Settings now shows which search engine version is installed, and update checks detect whether the runtime is an official release, a development build, or a custom one.

Changed

• Very large images (for example, RAW photos) are now scaled down just enough to still be embeddable when Use Previews for Image Retrieval is turned off.

Find Images 0.1.52-3

[0.1.52-3] - 2026-08-07

Added

• New "Enabled Image Formats" setting lets you choose which image formats the indexer processes. File watchers only monitor the selected formats. Native formats (PNG, JPG/JPEG, HEIC, BMP, GIF, HDR, PIC), other macOS formats (HEICS, HEIF, PICT, TIFF, WebP), and RAW formats (DNG, RAW) are enabled by default.
• Added a Privacy section to the README explaining that all search happens locally, with the update check and iCloud Photos exceptions.

Changed

• Pressing Enter in the Help window's search field now jumps directly to the first match.
• The Help window's next and previous search buttons now highlight when multiple matches are available.

Fixed

• Reference image previews now work for PSD, HEIC, RAW, and other macOS formats that require normalization. Previously they failed with an "unsupported image format" error.

Find Images 0.1.50-1

[0.1.50-1] - 2026-07-31

Added

• Initial release
• The Find Images.app is for people who either are not particular fans of "agentic" AI or believe they make the best agent themselves anyway.
• Functionally there are no major differences between the app and the find-image-plugin.
• But where the plugin lets you continue directly with results in LM Studio (e.g., using analyse-image to detect objects, or process-image / draw-things-chat for edits), Find Images.app skips the agent layer and focuses on its core purpose: finding images.
• It is designed for browsing and organizing large image collections — or unearthing forgotten visual treasures from your own archives.
