v0.15.1 (released 2026-10-16)

Release Notes

One fix since v0.15.0.

The IPTC panel forgets the old folder when you open another (issue
#114, brief 014, modules/iptc-templates.md "The panel's models",
docs/metadata.md). After tagging in one folder and opening the next,
the panel kept showing the previous folder's keyword chips with the
previous folder's counts — wip 2/2 under a header naming a photo that
had no sidecar at all — until the new folder's first keyword appeared,
whether the panel stayed open across the change or was closed and
reopened. The panel replaces its field rows, keyword chips and template
list only when what they should show changes; a folder change reset its
memory of what it last showed to "nothing", and a new folder with no
keywords yet looked the same as "nothing", so the chips were never
replaced. The first refresh after a folder change now replaces all three
regardless; within a folder nothing rebuilds more than before. Your
template choice in the dropdown stays as long as the panel stays open
(closing the panel puts it back on the first template, as it always
has). Three
driven tests pin it — the panel open across the change, closed and
reopened, and the new folder's own sidecar filling the row — and the
drive harness's state dump now carries the keyword chips the window
holds (keywords=), so those tests read the panel's model rather than
a screenshot.

v0.15.0 (released 2026-10-06)

Release Notes

Everything since v0.14.0: a Settings dialog and a settings file, the
Failed badge's tooltip, a keyboard ring inside the Copy Picks and Export
dialogs, a loupe that asks only for the frames its memory budget can
keep, an application icon, and six more units through the spec-first
pipeline (briefs 008 to 013 under specs/briefs/).

Settings: File › Settings… or Ctrl+, (issue #39, briefs 008, 009
and 010, modules/settings.md, docs/settings.md). A tabbed modal —
General | UI | Performance — that applies on Close and keeps the file
beside the other config files as settings.toml: a named group, a named
key, a value, hand-editable, every key carrying a one-line note. The
settings the specs had promised and never had a home: auto-advance after
Y/N (general.auto_advance), the selection wash strength
(ui.selection_wash), the loupe memory budget as a number or a share of
this machine's RAM (performance.loupe_memory = "2 GB" or "40%"), the
thumbnail cache cap (performance.cache_cap), the read workers
(performance.max_readers, 0 = adaptive) and Clear cache with a size
readout. An environment variable wins over the file wherever one governs
a knob — today FASTCULL_MAX_READERS — and is never written back into
it. A file the app cannot read is moved aside at the first write, never
overwritten in place. Every field explains itself on the screen: a
one-line note under each, nothing behind a hover. The card holds still
(brief 009): one height per open, the tallest tab's, so a tab switch
never moves an edge, a button or a label. Brief 010 added the guards QE
listed and a mark-based wait that closed the one intermittent Windows
red of the suite (issue #101).

The Failed badge explains itself (brief 008, docs/faq.md). A frame
that could not be decoded shows the Failed badge as before; the badge now
carries a tooltip with the reason.

Copy Picks and Export own Tab (issue #98, brief 011,
modules/ui-grid.md "Modal keyboard containment", docs/copy-picks.md,
docs/export-video.md). Tab and Shift+Tab move the keyboard between
the dialog's own controls in a visible order, wrapping, and never leave
the dialog — before this release a window-level Tab could carry the
keyboard to the grid behind the scrim. Every other key the dialogs own
behaves exactly as it did.

The loupe's prefetch ring fits the memory budget (issue #99, brief
012, modules/raw-pipeline.md "The ring fits the budget",
docs/settings.md). The ring of full-size neighbours the loupe decodes
ahead is sized from the budget and the frames' own headers — the focused
frame first, the nearest neighbours next in the direction of travel —
so a small budget never decodes a frame it cannot keep. Measured with
QE's recipe: at a 0.5 GB budget one full-size decode per step where there
were two to three (CPU 25 s → 13 s over the run), at the 200 MB floor one
where there were four (38 s → 13 s); at the 2 GB default nothing changes
— the same counts, the same times, the perf budgets green. The on-change
mark loupe ring budget <B> frame <F> rest <b>/<a> transit <b>/<a> says
what the ring is.

An icon (brief 013, modules/app-icon.md, assets/icon/). "Hand of
three": three prints fanned like a hand of cards, the lead upright and
sharp, the two behind swept back — chosen from sixty concepts over three
rounds, refined for 16 px. fastcull-app.exe carries it as its resource
icon, so Explorer, the Start menu and a pinned taskbar show it instead of
the generic executable tile; the running window shows it in the title bar
and on the taskbar; the README wears it. The sources are two SVGs and the
renders are produced by one script and are free of any metadata — no
C2PA manifest, no XMP, no EXIF, no text chunks — which a test holds. Linux
launcher integration (an app-id, a .desktop file) waits for packaging.

The specs, rewritten as behaviour (brief 007, PR #92; directives M11
and M12, PR #95). Every module spec now has the same five sections and
each rule lives in exactly one of them; CHANGELOG.md is the release
notes and specs/milestones.md the plan. Two standing directives: other
cameras are a design constraint, not an afterthought; every unit starts
from origin/main as it is.

Known and deferred, with their issues: the cache-cap stall on the next
folder open (#97), the failed-cursor test's clock steps (#104), the
dialogs' ring residuals (#106), an IFD that overstates its preview
re-decodes while idle (#108), the ring rule's unguarded terms (#109), and
the icon's CI-depth guards (#112).
