Changelog

All notable changes to Phokus are documented here. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project aims to follow Semantic Versioning (0.x: anything may change between minor versions).

0.1.0 — Unreleased

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.
