FileFacet 1.0.9

Added

• Added Restore Access to reconnect unavailable videos after confirming their original folders, with content verification, progress, and cancellation.

Changed

• Kept All Videos and Recently Added first with Command-1 and Command-2. Untagged and Unavailable Videos appear only when nonempty and have no numeric shortcuts.
• Kept folders authorized for recovery separate from new-video scan scope.

Fixed

• Verified original content before automatically reconnecting lost file associations through existing folder access.
• Prevented outdated background media results from replacing newer metadata or thumbnails.
• Prioritized visible videos when rebuilding missing thumbnails, reused existing media information, and reduced repeated cache scans.
• Loaded thumbnails in the background and updated individual cards to improve responsiveness and clear hover highlights promptly.
• Fixed relinking readable original videos rejected by AVFoundation's playability flag while retaining content and media checks.

FileFacet 1.0.8

[1.0.8] - 2026-08-30

Added

• Added on-demand scans for new videos in previously selected folders, with temporary Quick Look previews, selectable results, and optional folder access recovery for individually imported videos.

Changed

• Completed scan sessions now close their temporary sidebar category and reveal every video added during the session in Recently Added; sessions containing an existing record reveal the handled videos in All Videos.
• Aligned tag-draft metadata, filter fields, and related action buttons with the native macOS text hierarchy.

Fixed

• Fixed the Quick Look panel remaining visible with an empty selection after video playback ended and the user pressed Escape.
• Fixed scan results remaining onscreen when the user selected the already-active library category, compressed folder-import choices, and inconsistent singular scan feedback.
• Fixed long Inspector tag lists briefly compressing their row spacing while calculating the scrollable content size.

FileFacet 1.0.7

Added

• Added video-grid grouping by added, created, or modified date, duration, file size, and resolution, with independent group ordering, counts, collapsible sticky headers, and a direct clear control.
• Recently Added now temporarily groups videos by newest added date and restores the previous grouping preference when leaving the category.

Fixed

• Sidebar names now use the available space up to their right-aligned counts, while counts remain fully visible in both selected and unselected rows.

FileFacet 1.0.6

[1.0.6] - 2026-08-07

Added

• Added a unified Unavailable Videos category for temporarily offline and inaccessible videos, with Command-1 through Command-4 shortcuts for the four preset library categories.
• Inaccessible videos can now be relinked to an original file or removed from FileFacet while retaining their tags, cached thumbnail, and media information until the user decides.

Changed

• Completed imports now select and reveal every video handled by the batch: new-only batches open Recently Added, while batches containing existing records open All Videos.
• Recently Added now uses a fixed newest-first system ordering without changing user sorting in other categories; manually changing categories also starts at the top with no video selected.
• Finished notifications now include a close control, and removal undo expires when the browsing context changes, a new import begins, or the notification is dismissed.
• Videos confirmed outside their known location or moved to the Trash now leave active library results and remain available for recovery; relinking only proceeds automatically when the complete content fingerprint matches.

FileFacet 1.0.5

[1.0.5] - 2026-07-31

Added

• Added a visible rule bar for combining filename, tag, untagged, date, duration, file-size, and resolution filters with “match all” or “match any” relationships.
• Added sorting by filename, added, created, or modified date, duration, file size, and resolution.
• Added saved Smart Collections with live result counts, rule preview, revert, update, save-as, inline rename, and deletion.
• Added Command-F for filename search and Shift-Command-F for adding a filter condition.
• The Inspector now groups container, video-codec, audio-codec, profile, rate, depth, color, and rotation source information while keeping cached details available for offline videos.

Changed

• Search, filters, and sorting now remain within the selected system category or tag scope, and filter editors apply their draft once after confirmation.
• Thumbnail generation now falls back to Quick Look when AVFoundation cannot extract a frame; files unsupported by both macOS media paths continue to use the generic video icon.

Fixed

• Pressing Escape now cancels inline renaming for tags and Smart Collections, while Return or focus loss saves a valid name consistently.

FileFacet 1.0.4

[1.0.4] - 2026-07-31

Added

• Folder imports can now create hierarchical FileFacet tags from the directory structure, with an optional root tag for each selected folder.
• Added a shared folder-import preference for the File menu, Shift-Command-I, and Finder drops, including “Ask Every Time” and an option to remember the chosen method.
• Videos on disconnected external drives now remain visible, searchable, and taggable with their cached thumbnails and metadata. FileFacet marks them as offline, provides a dedicated Offline collection, and restores file access automatically when an authorized drive reconnects.

Changed

• Finder aliases, symbolic links, and macOS packages are skipped consistently when importing folders.

FileFacet 1.0.3

[1.0.3] - 2026-07-30

Added

• Added complete English and Simplified Chinese localization across menus, the library, import flows, tag management, settings, App Lock, errors, tooltips, and accessibility labels.
• FileFacet now follows the language configured in macOS, including the per-app language setting, and falls back to English for unsupported languages.

Fixed

• Corrected library video-count subtitles and English singular/plural feedback for overlapping imports, removing videos, and restoring videos.

FileFacet 1.0.2

[1.0.2] - 2026-07-18

变更

• “导入视频与文件夹…”支持一次选择多个视频、多个文件夹或两者组合，与直接拖入使用相同的导入范围和处理规则。
• 侧边栏标签支持自定义、按名称和按去重视频数量从多到少排序；父标签数量包含全部后代，自动排序期间仍可调整标签层级，切回自定义后恢复原有顺序。
