Shrike 0.2.30

Shrike 0.2.30 for macOS 14 or newer (Apple silicon and Intel).

What changed

New

• The sidebar is redesigned. It is one folder tree that always opens to the folder you are in and highlights it.
• Favorites are quick jumps to your most used folders. Locations shows Home and your disks.
• There are no empty headings, and the names line up. Eject is always visible on a disk.
• The folder menu has Open in New Window and Copy Path.
• A disk that was unplugged shows that its folder is gone.
• When you drag photos over a closed folder in the sidebar and wait a moment, it opens, so you can drop into a subfolder.

Faster

• Listing a very large folder is faster, and it stops when you close the Browser.

Changed

• A read-only folder or disk refuses drops. It does not light up.

Fixed

• The info panel is readable in a light window.
• The New Folder… menu item no longer shows a wrong shortcut.

Shrike 0.2.29 for macOS 14 or newer (Apple silicon and Intel).

What changed

Faster

Fixed

• Going back to the viewer after a minute no longer flashes a small, blurry copy of the photo first.

• A Browser no longer misses photos that are copied into the folder while it is open.

Shrike 0.2.28

Shrike 0.2.28 for macOS 14 or newer (Apple silicon and Intel).

What changed

New

• Settings > Editing has Delete All Backups…, to clear the saved originals in one step. It asks first, and Cancel is the safe choice.
• Shrike asks before it saves over a photo that another app changed while you were editing.
• Home and End jump to the first and last photo in the grid.
• The Tab key now moves through the photos, the search box, the sidebar and the info panel, and back with Shift-Tab.

Faster

• Adding files to a big folder no longer freezes the window.
• Select All is fast, even in a big folder.
• Thumbnails load faster.
• Shrike gives memory back when you close a window, and uses less memory while you edit.

Changed

• Batch asks before it changes your original photos, also when the output is the same folder. It never overwrites a photo without telling you.
• Edits to CMYK and black-and-white photos are now applied. Shrike tells you it converted the photo, and saves a copy.
• Batch renames that shift or swap names now work, even when a new name is the name of another photo in the batch.
• Backups of photos on an unplugged disk, or on iCloud and not yet downloaded, are kept.
• Saving keeps your colour labels, Lightroom settings and camera notes.
• Remove Location also removes the place names.
• The Replace question in Copy and Move names the extra RAW and sidecar files that go to the Trash too.
• The word "photo" is used everywhere. Buttons say "Save Copy…" and "Don't Save". When you leave an edited photo, Cancel is the safe default.
• The delete dialog has a clearer title, and Cancel is the default.
• Messages can use two lines, and long file names are shortened.
• The cards in a narrow viewer fit the window, and the buttons stack when there is little room.
• Compare uses clearer words, and its options are in View > Compare Options.
• While you edit, the info panel steps aside. It comes back when you finish, unless you opened it yourself.
• The viewer title bar is a soft, see-through band.
• VoiceOver reads the rating items in the menu as words, such as Rate 3 Stars.
• In the Browser, the window can be narrower when the side panes are hidden.
• In the info panel, mixed tags show how many photos have each tag.
• Reduce Motion is respected in the full-screen animation.

Fixed

• Shrike no longer quits when you leave an edit without saving after another app changed the photo. It shows the photo as it is now.
• Batch counts (Run N Photos and the question before it changes your originals) leave out photos Shrike can't read. After Undo Batch, the done screen says the batch was undone.
• The Replace question names every file that goes to the Trash.
• The "Can't open" card fits above the filmstrip in a small window, and Reveal in Finder shows when the broken photo is the first one you open.
• Revert brings back the right photo, even after a photo was replaced.
• Undo Copy never deletes a different file with the same name.
• If you type a tag after you click a colour tag, the colour tag stays.
• The viewer toolbar updates as you move with the keyboard.
• In Compare, a photo you bring in with the right arrow key gets the same zoom as the others.
• A folder change during a slow move to another photo is no longer lost.
• A photo that was skipped on purpose can be selected in Batch's done screen. Batch rows are listed in order, and Undo Batch is one of the done actions.
• The tag filter has a Tags row, also when you open it from the toolbar. It says so when there are no tags.
• Quitting during a save waits for the save and says so.
• The zoom label only shows when you zoom.
• The info panel for a selection whose first photo cannot be read shows a neutral stack, not "Can't preview".
• In the editor, the photo fits above the note about saving, and the buttons keep their size.
• VoiceOver reads the info panel, the rating and the tag chips with clear names.
