What's New

  • Two-tab Help — Usage (shortcuts & features) + Background (comprehensive FAQ covering quality scoring, metrics, sorting, STF stretch, debayer, denoise, deconvolution, triage tips)
  • 4-Tier Quality Icons — Full green (excellent), half-green (good), orange (borderline), red (garbage). Z-score on hover
  • Compare with Best (C key) — Side-by-side synchronized zoom/pan at 300% zoom. ESC to close
  • Metric Bar Indicators — Per-group red-to-green bars below Stars, FWHM, HFR, SNR
  • Multi-Folder Opening — Cmd+click multiple folders in open dialog → merged session
  • Context Menu — Open With... (PixInsight etc.), Show in Finder, Compare with Best
  • Quality Group Size — Minimum reduced from 20 to 10 images per group
  • Pitch-Black Detection — Frames with no data auto-flagged as garbage
  • Smart 4-Case Sorting — Auto-sort by session type with exposure as grouping element
  • FITS Special Characters — Brackets/parentheses in filenames now work correctly

Bug Fixes

  • FWHM/HFR sort ascending by default (lower = better)
  • PNG export R/B channel swap fix
