PicturesQ v1.0.8

PicturesQ v1.0.8

Cross-platform image viewer and manager with an embedded MCP server.

Update notifications and one-click activation

• PicturesQ now tells you when a new version is available, as a dismissable notice in the toolbar. The check runs once a day, sends nothing about you or your images, and never downloads or installs anything on its own — updating stays your choice.
• Bought a license? The purchase confirmation page now has an Activate in PicturesQ button that hands your key straight to the app, so there's no copying it across by hand. Pasting a key works exactly as before.
• On Windows and Linux, launching PicturesQ a second time now brings the existing window forward instead of starting a separate copy.

Downloads

• macOS (Universal — Apple Silicon & Intel): PicturesQ_1.0.8_universal.dmg
• Linux: .deb, .rpm, .AppImage
• Windows: .msi, .exe

1.0.7 was withdrawn before general release: it failed to launch. 1.0.8 is that release with the fix.

PicturesQ v1.0.6

PicturesQ v1.0.6

Cross-platform image viewer and manager with an embedded MCP server.

Stability release

• Fixed a crash when browsing folders containing certain problematic image files — a single bad file could take down the whole app. It now simply fails to thumbnail and everything else keeps working.
• Images with corrupt or absurd header dimensions are rejected safely instead of being decoded blindly.
• Diagnostics: unexpected errors are now logged to the app's log folder to make future issues easier to report.

• Linux: .deb, .rpm, .AppImage
• Windows: .msi, .exe
