NegPy 0.35.0

0.35.0

• New: Gear Library — a searchable library of cameras, lenses and film stocks; picking gear for a frame writes scan-rig and film metadata into the exported XMP. There are some bundled items but library is easily user-extendable. @jboneng
• New: Freehand analysis region — draw the exposure-metering area directly on the canvas instead of relying on the centered Analysis Buffer inset; a draw/clear pair sits on the Process page. @linkmodo
• Change: Manual healing now clones real texture — heals copy a matching patch from elsewhere in the frame and blend the seam, keeping grain intact instead of a smoothed synthetic fill; existing heal spots convert automatically.
• New: Scratch Tool — heal hairs and scratches by clicking a polyline along the defect (double-click or Enter to commit), instead of forcing them through the round brush.
• New: Enter now also commits an in-progress Dodge & Burn stroke, same as double-click.
• Change: Canvas redesign — the status bar and info rows around the preview are gone; the image fills the whole central area. File info moved to overlay pills in the canvas corners, the toolbar floats over the image, status messages show as a short toast.
• Change: Export now warns before overwriting files — a batch that would clobber existing files stops for an Overwrite / Rename / Cancel prompt instead of silently overwriting; tick "Always overwrite without asking" to bring back the old silent behavior. @linkmodo
• Change: Bundled gear and crosstalk profiles now load live from the app instead of being copied into your docs folder. Docs folder is reserved for your personal profiles & gear
• Change: Selecting a thumbnail now opens it — a single click loads the frame into the viewer (Ctrl/Shift-click still builds a multi-selection for batch actions); double-clicking inside an open crop box now confirms and closes the tool. @linkmodo
• Change: Cyan now has an assignable keyboard shortcut alongside the other white-balance sliders, unbound by default (you should not be touching cyan!) — set it in the shortcut editor.
• Change: Export UX pass — one red Export button replaces the toolbar Export, "Export All" and the "Sync export settings" toggle; its chevron menu selects what the button does (current frame, selected, all visible) and remembers the choice, with Export Presets working the same way. Default sizing is now Original resolution, multi-frame exports ask for confirmation, and failed frames are reported instead of a false "complete".
• Fix: crop no longer inflates under Fine Rotation — the manual crop rectangle is now measured in the same already-rotated view you draw it on, instead of being mapped through the tilt and re-bounded, which grew the cropped area as the tilt increased. @linkmodo
• Fix: locked/disabled controls now are greyed-out — sliders, buttons and fields under an active lock (e.g. Analysis Buffer under Roll Average, Flat-Field k1 with no reference profile) now show a grey disabled state instead of looking identical to normal ones.
• Fix: Next/Prev buttons now follow the sorted/filtered order shown in the filmstrip instead of raw load order — fixes them greying out mid-roll or staying stuck (but unresponsive) at the end of a roll not loaded alphabetically.
• Fix: large (tiled) exports no longer drift from the preview when Separation is on or a freehand analysis region is drawn — the tiled export path was metering exposure off the raw image instead of the same unmixed, region-restricted one the preview uses.
• New: Protect original metadata toggle in the Metadata tab — exports keep the source file's EXIF/XMP untouched instead of NegPy rewriting it. @jboneng
• Perf: CPU rendering is now multithreaded, ~3.5x faster on a full-res render. @linkmodo
• Fix: HQ preview toggle no longer shows a stale render; zoom % now reflects true pixel zoom (with Fit/1:1 buttons); tooltip shortcut chips and the Crosstalk tooltip no longer overflow; Batch Analysis warning now leads with the crop count. @linkmodo
