First release of the LightCraft Cloud PC apps: Lightroom-style sync for LightCraft, using your own cloud storage. It's an early version and setup is still manual. The README explains how the parts fit together.

What's in it

  • A tray app for your home PC that publishes your photo folder to any rclone remote and applies edits that come back.
  • A light version for other PCs that keeps a full copy of the folders you choose. Photos you import there go to the home PC, keeping your folder structure.
  • Live progress in the Status window, with time left and a note if nothing has moved for a while.
  • New edits show up in a running LightCraft by themselves, without Synchronize Folder.
  • On Windows: an installer that needs no administrator, and a built-in updater.

Which file do I need?

  • lightcraft-cloud-0.2.0-windows-setup.exe: another PC on Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
  • lightcraft-cloud-0.2.0-linux-home.tar.gz: your home PC on Linux, with glibc 2.35 or newer. Unpack it and run install.sh.
  • lightcraft-cloud-0.2.0-linux-light.tar.gz: another PC on Linux, with glibc 2.35 or newer. Unpack it and run install.sh.
  • SHA256SUMS: checksums for all of these.

Before you start

  • In LightCraft, turn on automatic XMP sidecars and its control port. The README's quick start has the steps.
  • The Windows installer isn't code-signed, so SmartScreen warns. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
  • The phone app is released separately, at lightcraft-android.
