Speed

Version 1.1.1 introduced a loading progress indicator in the Photo Wall and Filmstrip scroll bar. This was a good way to let you know when the whole view has finished loading.
You can check the release note here
With this new update the loading process has been so much improved that you may not see the scroll bar progress indicator anymore. At least, with 50k images it’s instantaneous.

First time wizard

Too many users were misled with the mode were PhotoInsight automatically scans all disks.
So this mode has been removed. Only the mode were you manually pick folders or disks remains.

Bug fixes

  • Text was a bit blurry in the the statistics page
  • Camera brand statistics are replaced by camera body statistics
  • Fixed a crash at startup while trying to close ExifTool ghost process
  • The photo wall was scrolling to the first selected image each time you select an additional image (multi-selection)
  • When changing the thumbnails size any multi-selection was lost
  • General improvement on scrolling behavior to prevent any unexpected scrolling and also keep the selected image visible
