Stability and Workflow Improvements · Release Candidate 36

Workflow Enhancements

• Library Management: We’re significantly improving how Aspect handles library folder movements and copies. Specifically, when a library is copied (either manually in your file system or between devices), Aspect will now automatically assign a new instance ID. This ensures synchronization continues to function correctly. The application will also proactively request authorization when opening a library on a device not already authorized for syncing.
• Context Menu Navigation: You can now right-click on a photo to quickly navigate to its parent event or within the photo stream. This streamlines browsing and context within your projects.
• “Mark Folders as Events” Flexibility: The “Mark Folders as Events” popup has been updated to offer more flexibility. You can now designate either the root folder of a scan as an event, or designate a subfolder as the root of the scan.

Bug Fixes

• Application Exit Stability: Addressed a crash that could occur during application exit when other devices were trying to access a library over the network.
• Duplicate Event Detection: Resolved an issue where renaming an event outside of Aspect (and only changing the case of the name) would falsely trigger a duplicate event detection.
• Keyword Tree Consistency: Fixed a problem causing keywords to appear multiple times in the keyword tree after synchronization.
• Scripting API: Corrected type errors that would sometimes occur when using certain scripting API functions that accept library node objects.
• Fullscreen View Refresh: Resolved an issue preventing the fullscreen view from refreshing after changes to the list of displayed items.
