@BandwagonVibes BandwagonVibes released this 21 Nov 03:15

🎯 FIXXER v1.0 - Professional Photography Workflow Automation

Evolved from photosort to FIXXER ✞ PRO

A major upgrade bringing professional-grade features, cryptographic integrity verification, and dual UI modes for serious photographers who demand both speed and safety in their digital asset management.


✨ What's New in v1.0

🔐 Hash-Verified File Operations

  • SHA256 integrity checking on every file move operation
  • Halt-on-mismatch protection prevents silent corruption
  • JSON sidecar files (.fixxer.json) create permanent audit trails
  • Production-tested: 120+ files, zero corruption events

🎨 Pro Mode - "Phantom Redline"

  • Toggle with F12 for tactical precision dashboard
  • Milestone HUD with real-time workflow stats (BURSTS, TIER A/B/C, HEROES, ARCHIVED, TIME)
  • Redline sparklines for system monitoring (RAM/CPU)
  • Minimal, professional aesthetic for focused work

📷 120+ RAW Format Support

  • Python-native RAW processing via rawpy (no external dependencies)
  • Cross-platform: Linux, macOS, Windows
  • Supports: RW2, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, ORF, PEF, SRW, and 100+ more
  • Zero temp files - pure in-memory processing

🤖 AI Vision Integration

  • Ollama-powered naming (qwen2.5vl, llava, bakllava)
  • Semantic burst detection using CLIP embeddings
  • AI session naming from visual analysis
  • Creative critique mode for artistic feedback

📊 Quality Analysis Pipeline

  • BRISQUE quality scoring for sharpness assessment
  • Exposure analysis (crushed blacks, blown highlights)
  • Automated culling into Tier A/B/C folders
  • Smart burst grouping based on visual similarity, not timestamps

🔧 Bug Fixes & Improvements

Fixed:

  • ✅ Unicode corruption in photosort_engine.py (emojis/symbols now render correctly)
  • ✅ Pro Mode logo display in TUI
  • ✅ Cross-platform RAW file handling (replaced macOS-only sips)
  • ✅ Thread safety in logging and progress updates

Improved:

  • ✅ Professional README with architecture diagrams
  • ✅ Modern Python packaging (pyproject.toml)
  • ✅ Comprehensive dependency documentation
  • ✅ Smart .gitignore (protects user photos and config)

📦 Installation

Requirements:

  • Python 3.10+
  • Ollama (for AI vision features)

Quick Start:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/BandwagonVibes/fixxer.git
cd fixxer

# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Pull an AI vision model
ollama pull qwen2.5vl:3b

# Launch FIXXER
python3 photosort_tui_styled.py

📚 Documentation

  • README.md - Complete feature guide
  • requirements.txt - Dependencies with platform notes
  • Configuration - Stored in ~/.photosort.conf

🎯 Workflows Included

Workflow Description
Auto Complete pipeline: burst stack → cull → AI name → archive
Bursts CLIP-based semantic grouping + AI naming of best picks
Cull Quality analysis → Tier A/B/C sorting
Stats EXIF insights (cameras, lenses, lighting conditions)
Critique AI creative feedback (composition, mood, suggestions)
Easy Archive Simple AI naming + keyword folders (no culling)

🔒 Security & Integrity

Every file operation is protected by:

  • SHA256 hash calculation before move
  • SHA256 hash verification after move
  • Automatic sidecar file generation (.fixxer.json)
  • Workflow halts on corruption detection (RuntimeError)

Example sidecar file:

{
  "fixxer_version": "1.0",
  "filename": "golden-hour-cityscape.jpg",
  "sha256_source": "a1b2c3d4...",
  "verified": true,
  "timestamp": "2024-11-20T14:35:22.123456"
}

🎨 UI Modes

Toggle between two aesthetics with F12:

Standard Mode (Warez):

  • Red/white/black color scheme
  • ASCII art branding
  • Motivational progress phrases
  • High-contrast buttons

Pro Mode (Phantom Redline):

  • Tactical black aesthetic
  • Clean typography
  • Real-time HUD dashboard
  • Minimal, professional design
