EXIF info panel:
- New on-demand get_image_exif command (kamadak-exif) returning camera/lens/
aperture/shutter/ISO/focal-length and decimal GPS; read from the file when the
lightbox opens (no DB schema change, works on already-indexed images).
- Lightbox shows a Camera panel; GPS opens the location in the browser via
OpenStreetMap (adds opener:allow-open-url capability).
Tag management:
- Backend rename_tag (rename, or merge when the target exists) and delete_tag
(library-wide), both clearing the tag-cloud cache; store actions invalidate
tag caches, refresh Explore, and re-point/refresh an active tag-search.
- Explore -> Tag Cloud gains a Manage mode: a flat list with per-tag rename/
merge/delete.
Albums:
- Drag-to-reorder in the sidebar via framer-motion Reorder with a hover handle;
order persists through the existing reorder_albums command.
Reads live store order on drag end and robustly derives GPS hemisphere from raw
EXIF ref bytes (review follow-ups). CHANGELOG updated.
Albums (manual collections):
- New albums/album_images tables with FK cascades; DB functions and Tauri
commands for create/rename/delete/delete-many/reorder/list, add/remove
images, and paginated get_album_images.
- Distinct sidebar "ALBUMS" section with cover thumbnails, create/rename/
delete, and a Manage multi-select mode for bulk album deletion.
- Album view reuses the gallery grid (activeView "album" + selectedAlbumId);
spans folders; add from the bulk bar or the lightbox, remove from within.
Gallery multi-select + bulk actions:
- gallerySelectedIds selection model with a top-left corner checkbox that
reveals on corner hover; click-to-toggle in selection mode, double-click
to open.
- Floating BulkActionBar: tag (inline autocomplete popover), rating,
favorite, add-to-album, and a delete with an explicit "from disk"
confirmation. Batch commands bulk_update_details/bulk_add_tags/
bulk_remove_tag.
Also:
- Duplicate Finder delete now requires confirmation with clear "from disk"
wording (was single-click fire-and-forget).
- CPU/CUDA build-variant badge in Settings (get_build_variant).
- Rating/favorite no longer re-sorts derived collections (similar/region/
semantic/tag/album results); single and bulk paths replace in place there.
- Album-aware indexed-images/media-updated handlers so thumbnails paint and
newly-indexed files don't leak into an album view.
- CHANGELOG updated.
Post-update UX for the next release (0.1.2):
- What's New: after a version change, greet the user with a toast that opens
an in-app release-notes screen (collapsible Added/Changed/Fixed sections)
sourced from the bundled CHANGELOG.md, reopenable from Settings -> Updates.
Backed by a last_seen_version settings file (get/set_last_seen_version
commands) that distinguishes upgrades from fresh installs.
- Updater: the download/install progress toast now reappears when an update is
started from the title-bar indicator or Settings after the prompt was
dismissed; Settings -> Updates gains a real progress bar with a percentage.
- Light theme: fix the recurring subtle-light breakage. Neutral surfaces now
rely on the CSS-variable remap instead of light-theme:bg-white (which forced
surfaces dark because --color-white is remapped dark); the green action
buttons drop the broken light-theme:hover:bg-emerald-200 (remapped dark,
unreadable on hover) for an override-free emerald-500 tint that auto-themes,
across the updater, What's New, and onboarding.
- Debug panel: add What's New triggers (toast / modal / reset).
Bump version to 0.1.1 (package.json, Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock), date the
changelog section (2026-06-23), and add the GitHub release-notes draft.
QoL release on top of 0.1.0: custom multi-folder picker, theme system,
timeline scrubber, folder reordering, gallery/duplicate-finder
virtualisation, video playback settings, rebuild-semantic-index action,
plus AVIF thumbnail, video-embedding, and Subtle Light theme fixes.
- new StepUpdates: explains the title-bar update indicator with a mini
app-window mockup, and introduces the aperture mark as the app's identity
- move the tour-closing copy off the AI features step onto this final step
- changelog: note the title-bar update indicator + one-click install, and the
new onboarding step
Phase 6 release collateral:
- README: Installation (unsigned-build/SmartScreen note, requirements,
first-run downloads) and Privacy & local-first sections
- CHANGELOG.md seeded with the 0.1.0 feature set
- docs/release-notes-0.1.0.md draft for the GitHub Release body
Also corrects the CLIP model download size from ~330 MB to ~580 MB (the
actual model.safetensors is 577 MB) across the docs and the onboarding UI.
