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.

# Changelog
|
||
|
||
All notable changes to Phokus are documented here. The format is based on
|
||
[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project
|
||
aims to follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)
|
||
(0.x: anything may change between minor versions).
|
||
|
||
## [Unreleased]
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
|
||
- **Albums** — curate your own collections. A new Albums section in the sidebar
|
||
(with cover thumbnails, kept visually distinct from Libraries) lets you create,
|
||
rename, and open albums; albums can span multiple folders. Add images from the
|
||
gallery's bulk action bar or from the lightbox, remove them from within an
|
||
album, and use the section's Manage mode to multi-select and delete albums in
|
||
one go. Deleting an album never touches your files — only the grouping is
|
||
removed.
|
||
- **Multi-select & bulk actions in the gallery** — hover a thumbnail's top-left
|
||
corner to reveal a selection checkbox (or click it to start selecting); while
|
||
selecting, click tiles to toggle and double-click to open. A floating action
|
||
bar then lets you tag (with autocomplete), rate, favorite, add to an album, or
|
||
delete the whole selection at once. Works in similar-image, region, and album
|
||
views too.
|
||
- **Build badge in Settings** — the version line in Settings → Updates now shows
|
||
whether the running build is the CPU or CUDA (GPU-accelerated) variant.
|
||
- **Camera info in the lightbox** — the image info panel now shows EXIF details
|
||
(camera, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO, focal length) and, when a photo is
|
||
geotagged, its GPS coordinates as a link that opens the location in your
|
||
browser. Read on demand from the file, so it works on already-indexed images
|
||
without re-indexing.
|
||
- **Tag management** — Explore → Tag Cloud gains a Manage mode with a flat tag
|
||
list where you can rename a tag, merge it into another (rename it to an
|
||
existing tag's name), or delete it from every image. Changes apply across the
|
||
whole library.
|
||
- **Reorderable albums** — drag albums in the sidebar (hover the row for the
|
||
drag handle) to set their order, which persists across sessions.
|
||
- **What's New** — after updating, Phokus now greets you with a "What's new"
|
||
toast that opens an in-app release-notes screen for the new version, with the
|
||
changes grouped into collapsible Added / Changed / Fixed sections. It's
|
||
sourced from the bundled changelog (so it works offline) and can be reopened
|
||
any time from Settings → Updates → What's new.
|
||
|
||
### Changed
|
||
|
||
- **Safer deletion** — deleting media now asks for confirmation and spells out
|
||
that it permanently removes the file(s) from disk. This covers the new gallery
|
||
bulk delete and the Duplicate Finder, which previously deleted on a single
|
||
click with no confirmation or warning.
|
||
- The updater now shows a real download progress bar with a percentage in
|
||
Settings → Updates (previously it only said "Downloading").
|
||
|
||
### Fixed
|
||
|
||
- **Rating no longer scrambles search results** — rating or favoriting an image
|
||
while viewing similar-image, region, semantic, tag, or album results no longer
|
||
re-sorts the view back into the default order; the current result ordering is
|
||
preserved.
|
||
- The update download/install progress toast now reappears when you start an
|
||
update from the title-bar indicator or Settings after dismissing the earlier
|
||
"Update available" prompt — previously progress only showed in Settings.
|
||
- Subtle Light theme — fixed several surfaces and buttons that stayed dark or
|
||
became unreadable on hover, including new dialogs and the green action buttons
|
||
across the updater and onboarding.
|
||
|
||
## [0.1.1] — 2026-06-23
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
|
||
- **Custom multi-folder picker** — replaces the native OS dialog with an
|
||
in-app folder browser that lets you navigate, stage folders from multiple
|
||
locations, and add them all in one go. Duplicate roots are skipped
|
||
automatically; partially-failed batches remove successfully-added entries
|
||
from the staging panel so only failed folders remain to retry.
|
||
- **Rebuild semantic index** maintenance action in Settings — drops and
|
||
recreates the vector tables at the current model dimension, then re-queues
|
||
every image for embedding. Fixes "dimension mismatch" search errors that
|
||
occur after switching between CLIP models with different output sizes.
|
||
- **Video playback settings** — new Video Playback group in Settings with two
|
||
persisted toggles: "Autoplay in lightbox" (default on) and "Start muted"
|
||
(default off). Settings apply to the next opened video rather than the
|
||
current one.
|
||
- **Timeline scrubber** — a year/month rail on the Timeline view that jumps to
|
||
any period in the library. Timeline now loads the full filtered set so the
|
||
scrubber spans the whole library instead of just the first page.
|
||
- **Folder reordering** in the sidebar — drag-and-drop (with edge auto-scroll)
|
||
or keyboard (↑/↓ on the drag handle), with the custom order persisted across
|
||
sessions; the Libraries list also gains A–Z / Z–A / Custom sort.
|
||
- Failed AI-tagging jobs can now be located from the background worker prompt,
|
||
including a gallery filter for images with failed tags and an expanded list
|
||
of failed filenames/errors.
|
||
- A new theme system adds Phokus, Subtle Light, and Conventional Dark chrome
|
||
options across the app.
|
||
- First-run onboarding now includes an inline theme picker so new users can
|
||
choose their preferred app chrome before continuing the tour.
|
||
|
||
### Changed
|
||
|
||
- Settings sections are reordered — General is now the first and default
|
||
section instead of AI Workspace.
|
||
- The Duplicate Finder group list is now virtualised — only on-screen cards
|
||
mount, so large result sets (e.g. 5,000+ pairs) scroll without lag rather
|
||
than mounting every thumbnail at once.
|
||
- The gallery grid is now row-virtualised, so very large libraries scroll
|
||
smoothly and only on-screen thumbnails are rendered.
|
||
- Polished the new theme surfaces before release, including readable
|
||
subtle-light secondary buttons, failed-worker action buttons, and onboarding
|
||
controls.
|
||
- Onboarding preview media keeps the dark gallery/media surface regardless of
|
||
the active chrome theme.
|
||
|
||
### Fixed
|
||
|
||
- **AVIF thumbnails** — AVIF files are now processed correctly by routing
|
||
thumbnail generation through the bundled FFmpeg path instead of the Rust
|
||
image decoder (which has no dav1d dependency). Previously-failed AVIF jobs
|
||
are requeued on startup; JPEG derivatives are fed to the embedding and
|
||
tagging pipeline while the lightbox continues to display the original file.
|
||
- Accent text is now readable in the Subtle Light theme.
|
||
- Folder picker chevron tooltip now correctly shows "No subfolders" for leaf
|
||
entries instead of "Open folder" in both branches.
|
||
- Folder picker Unix breadcrumb root now shows "/" instead of always "Home"
|
||
for non-home paths such as `/mnt/data`.
|
||
- Video embedding jobs are no longer claimed before their thumbnail exists, and
|
||
any that previously failed for that reason are requeued on startup — videos no
|
||
longer churn through failed embeddings.
|
||
- Subtle Light theme consistency — the lightbox metadata panel now follows the
|
||
light chrome while the image canvas stays dark (matching Conventional Dark),
|
||
and gallery/timeline media badges, duplicate-finder thumbnails, and the window
|
||
restore icon now theme correctly instead of staying Phokus-dark.
|
||
- Timeline scrolling is now smooth on large libraries — it virtualizes per row
|
||
of tiles instead of per month, so a month with thousands of photos no longer
|
||
mounts every tile at once (thumbnails now load in incrementally as you scroll,
|
||
matching the All Media grid).
|
||
- Background worker updates (thumbnails, metadata, embeddings, tags) no longer
|
||
re-sort the entire loaded image set on every batch. In Timeline, which loads
|
||
the whole library, this re-sort caused severe lag and could crash the app
|
||
during background indexing.
|
||
|
||
## [0.1.0] — 2026-06-14
|
||
|
||
First public release. Windows desktop, distributed as an unsigned NSIS
|
||
installer with a built-in updater.
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
|
||
- **Local media library** — add folders, recursive background indexing with
|
||
live progress, and a filesystem watcher that keeps the library in sync as
|
||
files are added, edited, moved, renamed, or removed (thumbnails and
|
||
embeddings are preserved across renames).
|
||
- **Gallery** — virtualized grid (handles very large libraries), favorites,
|
||
star ratings, video durations; filter by folder, type, favorites, or
|
||
rating; sort by date added, date taken (EXIF), name, size, rating, or
|
||
duration; compact / comfortable / detail density.
|
||
- **Search** — filename, semantic (`/s`, via CLIP visual embeddings), and tag
|
||
(`/t`) search from one prefix-aware search bar.
|
||
- **Discovery** — similar-image search (by image or selected region), an
|
||
Explore view with a visual cluster map and tag cloud, and a Timeline grouped
|
||
by EXIF capture date. Explore, Timeline, and Duplicates are folder-scopable
|
||
from their headers.
|
||
- **Lightbox** — keyboard navigation, zoom, pan, inline tag editing, and
|
||
rating controls, plus a custom edge-to-edge video player (scrubbing, volume,
|
||
speed, loop, fullscreen, keyboard support).
|
||
- **AI tagging** — WD tagger (ONNX, CPU/DirectML) with adjustable confidence
|
||
threshold, batch size, and per-folder queue targeting. Optional.
|
||
- **Duplicate finder** — three-phase exact-duplicate scan
|
||
(size → sample hash → full hash) with live progress and bulk delete.
|
||
- **Background pipeline** — strict-priority workers (thumbnails → metadata →
|
||
embeddings → tags) with per-folder pausing from the sidebar context menu or
|
||
the background-tasks bar.
|
||
- **Guided first-run onboarding** — background FFmpeg provisioning with live
|
||
progress and retry, a walkthrough of the library, pipeline, search modes,
|
||
views, and updates, plus an optional AI-tagger download. Re-runnable from
|
||
Settings.
|
||
- **Updater** — checks GitHub Releases on launch and from Settings; a title-bar
|
||
indicator lights up when a new version is ready, and one click downloads,
|
||
installs the signed update, and relaunches.
|
||
- **Maintenance** — database compaction and orphaned-thumbnail cleanup from
|
||
Settings, with live size/reclaimable stats.
|
||
- **Window state** persistence and single-instance handling.
