LightCraft Cloud 0.2.1
This release adds a Windows version of the home PC app, so both versions of the PC app now run on Windows and Linux. It's still early software and setup is manual. The README explains how the parts fit together.
What's Changed
- Windows home PC: a Windows PC can now be your home PC, with its own installer.
- LightCraft 0.17: new previews are made with the LightCraft 0.17 engine. Existing photos aren't rendered or uploaded again.
- Quicker updates on other PCs: another PC now notices changes from the home PC within about 2 minutes, instead of waiting for the 15-minute sync.
- Two devices, one photo: when clashing edits arrive in different syncs, the edit sent last now wins. Before, an edit sent just before another was applied could lose. The README now explains what happens in this case.
- Clearer counts: other PCs count photos the way the home PC does, so a RAW and JPEG pair is one photo. Progress lines count files.
- Files in use on Windows: a sidecar or photo held by another program now shows in Status and is tried again later, instead of failing quietly.
Which file do I need?

On Linux, unpack the archive and run install.sh. SHA256SUMS has checksums for all of these.
Before you start
- If you're already on 0.2.0, Windows apps offer this update themselves.
- The Windows installers aren't code-signed, so SmartScreen warns on the first install. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
- A Windows PC can move up from the other-PC app to the home app, but the other-PC installer won't replace a home install.
