# Phokus v0.1.1
|
||
|
||
> Draft for the GitHub Release body. Fill in the checksums and trim as needed.
|
||
|
||
**Phokus is a local-first desktop media library for Windows** — point it at
|
||
your image and video folders and it builds a fast, searchable gallery with
|
||
thumbnails, semantic search, visual discovery, AI tagging, and duplicate
|
||
cleanup. Everything is processed on your machine; nothing is uploaded.
|
||
|
||
This is a quality-of-life release on top of 0.1.0: a new in-app folder
|
||
picker, themes, smoother scrolling on large libraries, and a batch of fixes.
|
||
If you're updating from 0.1.0, the built-in updater will fetch this for you.
|
||
|
||
## Install / update
|
||
|
||
- **Updating from 0.1.0:** the in-app updater will offer 0.1.1 on launch — one
|
||
click downloads, installs, and relaunches.
|
||
- **Fresh install:** download `Phokus_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe` below and run it.
|
||
**Windows SmartScreen will warn** that the publisher is unrecognized — this
|
||
build is **not code-signed**. Click **More info → Run anyway**.
|
||
- Requires **Windows 10/11**. WebView2 is fetched automatically if missing.
|
||
|
||
NVIDIA users wanting GPU embedding speed can use the
|
||
`Phokus_0.1.1_x64-cuda-setup.exe` variant instead (larger download; bundles the
|
||
CUDA runtime DLLs).
|
||
|
||
## Highlights
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
- **Custom multi-folder picker** — navigate and stage folders from multiple
|
||
locations and add them in one go, replacing the native OS dialog.
|
||
- **Themes** — Phokus, Subtle Light, and Conventional Dark chrome, with an
|
||
inline theme picker in first-run onboarding.
|
||
- **Timeline scrubber** — a year/month rail to jump anywhere in the library.
|
||
- **Folder reordering** in the sidebar (drag-and-drop or keyboard), persisted,
|
||
plus A–Z / Z–A / Custom sort for the Libraries list.
|
||
- **Video playback settings** — autoplay-in-lightbox and start-muted toggles.
|
||
- **Rebuild semantic index** maintenance action — fixes "dimension mismatch"
|
||
search errors after switching CLIP models.
|
||
- Locate and filter images with failed AI-tagging jobs.
|
||
|
||
### Changed
|
||
- Gallery grid and Duplicate Finder list are now row-virtualised — large
|
||
libraries and large result sets (5,000+ pairs) scroll without lag.
|
||
- Settings now open on General by default.
|
||
|
||
### Fixed
|
||
- **AVIF thumbnails** now generate correctly (routed through bundled FFmpeg);
|
||
previously-failed AVIF jobs are requeued on startup.
|
||
- Video embedding jobs no longer churn through failed states before their
|
||
thumbnail exists; previously-failed ones are requeued.
|
||
- Timeline scrolling is smooth on large libraries (per-row virtualisation);
|
||
background batches no longer re-sort the whole loaded set.
|
||
- Numerous Subtle Light theme readability/parity fixes.
