Focused Improvements & Stability · Release Candidate 24

This update for Aspect focuses on refining existing functionality and enhancing overall stability. We’re committed to providing a reliable experience, and this release addresses several key areas based on user feedback and internal testing.

Organization & Synchronization

  • Folder Hierarchy Retention: When moving files into the “remotely-deleted” folder, the original folder structure is now preserved. This allows to manually restore the original folder structure and results in a less crowded folder.
  • Thumbnail Generation: Missing cached thumbnails and preview images are now generated as part of the image analysis process.
  • Improved Sync Interactions: Changes have been made to improve how Aspect handles library instance synchronization when other devices are still loading.
  • Revision Handling: We've improved the robustness of revision saving and loading to prevent corrupted revision histories after application or system crashes.

Bug Fixes & Performance

  • macOS Power Management: A bug preventing macOS from entering energy-saving mode while Aspect is running has been resolved.
  • Olympus RAW Date Handling: A problem with Olympus RAW files incorrectly interpreting "unset" date/time fields has been corrected.
  • Synchronization Hangs: A potential hang during the “metadata” phase of synchronization has been fixed.
  • Bogus Export Errors: The application will no longer report false errors for export collections when events or photos are not present in the active library instance.
  • Persistent Export Directory Recomputation: A bug that caused export collections to continuously recompute when synchronizing across multiple devices has been addressed.
  • Library Clone Performance: A problem with slow library cloning due to premature file fetching has been fixed, leading to improved cloning speeds.
  • Library Configuration Display: An error affecting the date range displayed in the library instance configuration dialog has been resolved.
  • Missing File Removal: A previously existing issue preventing the removal of certain missing files from the library has been corrected.
  • Revision Errors: A potential "missing HEAD revision" error that could occur after a synchronization interruption has been resolved.
