MetaScope 1.1.2: Portfolio Export + EXIF Speed (Build 14)
Minor release focusing on reliable Hasselblad 3FR portfolio export, faster Full/Raw EXIF tabs with clearer controls, UI polish, and a one‑time folder‑access refresh to restore system prompts when needed.
What’s New in MetaScope 1.1.2 (Build 14)
A focused reliability and polish update: dependable Hasselblad 3FR portfolio export, faster EXIF exploration, small UI refinements, and a one‑time folder‑access refresh to keep prompts working as expected.
🎯 Overview
MetaScope 1.1.2 sharpens everyday workflows. Portfolio export handles Hasselblad 3FR more reliably with a high‑quality scaled decode pipeline. The Full/Raw EXIF tabs are snappier and clearer, and a one‑time folder‑access refresh on upgrade restores system prompts for protected locations when needed.
🗂️ Portfolio Export — Hasselblad 3FR
- Reliable rendering via a high‑quality scaled pipeline with smart fallbacks (CIRAWFilter → ImageIO → QuickLook large render as needed).
- Extremely large RAWs take the safe, scaled path to avoid memory spikes.
- Consistent color management across the pipeline.
🧭 Faster Full/Raw EXIF Tabs
- Clearer controls with inline tips and a one‑shot Load full now.
- Deep completion runs in the background and can be canceled when navigating away.
- Paged lists keep very large tag sets responsive.
🎨 UI Polish
- Removed custom‑font weight warnings in preview (use explicit bold faces for fonts like Merriweather).
🔐 Folder Access Refresh
- On first launch after upgrading to 1.1.2, saved folder permissions are reset once to restore system prompts for protected folders (Home, Documents, Desktop).
- Advanced settings include a Reset Security‑Scoped Bookmarks button for manual recovery.
🛠️ Stability & Logging
- General reliability improvements across viewers and background tasks.
- More useful logging when investigating edge cases.
✅ Requirements
- macOS 15.4+ recommended; Photos permissions required to browse your Photos library.
