Known bugs in this build

:bug: Show-stoppers

  • macOS Desktop builds are broken in alpha.7

  • The docker :beta image was updated by pushing to :alpha. Only the reverse should be true (new :beta builds should be tagged with :alpha to make sure alpha testers get the latest and greatest).

  • @avdp is still tormented by SQLITE_CORRUPT :sob:

  • Windows 11 considered C:\ as “hidden” and didn’t walk into the directory when using “automatic” scan paths

  • Sync doesn’t seem to quick-scan and no-op previously-imported directories (reported by @harrisc)

  • Decoding HEIF with no embedded previews causes Windows to hang until timeout

  • Invalid color profile applied to NEFs (as reported by @ssickle)

    • upgrade LibRaw to latest HEAD
    • add setting to always use embedded jpeg if resolution matches raw

    update: New Apple RAW DNGs use a white balance that LibRaw doesn’t handle correctly. “out.jpg” is from the embedded preview (which has correct white balance), and out-N.tiff are rendered using all of the different available whitebalance settings–all of which are incorrect:

    Note also that both Darktable and Rawtherapee don’t know how to handle this image format:

    rawtherapee-cli: /home/mrm/Downloads/IMG_0002.DNG: Corrupt data near 0x552c22

    So, the solution is to really lean on the preview image, if possible. The next build will defer to embedded images even if they’re smaller than the original RAW image.

:bug: Irritants

  • progress panels don’t show at the beginning of sync runs (thanks for the report, @harrisc)

  • PhotoStructure shutdown seems to be taking longer than expected

  • When restarting, sync doesn’t restart the prior sync’s work queue (this is painful on very large directory scans)

  • esc key doesn’t work on Edge

  • Time zones in videos don’t seem to be respecting local time encoded filenames (see bug report)

  • asset IDs are included in rebuild progress

  • Upgrade ExifTool on Windows to use recent Strawberry Perl

  • Prior scroll position isn’t restored in tag gallery views (thanks for the report, @Tigger on discord!)
