Pickapicka now updates itself. From this version on, a new release
downloads in the background and installs with one click on Update to … in
the top bar. This is the last version you install by hand.

Installing

  • macOS: install Pickapicka-v0.11.0-macos-arm64.pkg. It replaces 0.10.0
    in /Applications. The first launch still needs right-click → Open; updates
    from here on do not.
  • Windows: run Pickapicka-0.11.0-windows-x64.exe. It upgrades the old
    install in place. SmartScreen asks once more (More info → Run anyway);
    updates from here on do not.
  • uv tool: uv tool upgrade pickapicka
  • Homebrew: brew upgrade pickapicka

New

  • Updates in one click. A little after it opens, and every few hours while
    it runs, the app asks GitHub for a newer release, downloads the installer in
    the background and checks it against the SHA-256 checksum GitHub publishes.
    Update to … restarts into the installer, which asks for the system's
    consent once (your password on macOS, the "allow changes" prompt on
    Windows), and the app opens again in the project you were in. Nothing about
    your photos is sent. Preferences → Updates turns the check off, and
    Check now works either way.
  • Zoom in the viewer. A click goes to 100% where it lands, and a second
    one back to fit. Scroll or pinch zooms at the pointer, up to 400%; a drag
    pans; + and - zoom too; Fit, 100% and 200% are in the viewer's top bar.
    The zoom and the place carry on to the next photo, so a burst is checked
    frame after frame at the same spot.
  • Room for portrait photos.
    • Tab in the viewer hides every bar and leaves only the photo. The keys
      still decide, rate and move.
    • The editor keeps one row under the photo instead of three, shows its
      status over the photo, and has Save under the adjustments. On a laptop
      screen a portrait frame gets about 100 px more height.
    • Preferences → Filmstrip turns the filmstrip off, for more still.
  • Type a value. Click a slider's number, type, and press Enter. The arrow
    keys step it, ten at a time with Shift.
  • A resizable editor panel. Drag the divider between the photo and the
    adjustments; double-click it for the default width. The width is kept.
  • An icon of its own: a viewfinder with a tick, on the Dock, the taskbar,
    the installer and the browser tab, and in the app's top bar and intro.

Changed

  • The scroll wheel in the viewer zooms the photo. The loupe's magnification is
    its 1:1 / 2:1 / 4:1 buttons, and the loupe steps aside while the photo is
    zoomed.
  • The macOS package always installs into /Applications, rather than
    upgrading a copy of the app it finds somewhere else.

Fixed

  • At 100% in the viewer, the top and left of a photo could not be scrolled to.
  • Quitting and reopening the app straight away could bring it up on another
    port, where the page still open in the browser did not find it.
