MetaScope 1.1.3 (Build 15)

Highlights

• NEW — Include Subfolders (Pro): browse nested folders in a single grid. Progressive deep‑scan streams results while you browse, with Stop/Resume, live counters (folders • files • visible • pending), backlog estimates, and snapshot‑backed fast starts.
• Snapshot Seeding + Verify Now: large folders open instantly from a disk snapshot; reconcile with disk on demand.
• Smoother browsing: first‑screen thumbnail prewarm that cancels on memory pressure or when you scroll beyond the initial window.
• Video & Photos polish: fewer preview stalls; resource fetches moved off the main queue for smoother interaction.
• PDF export reliability: exports now always include full EXIF/IPTC/XMP via a deep ExifTool extraction.

Include Subfolders (Pro)

• Progressive deep‑scan with batching and cooperative back‑pressure for large libraries.
• Stop/Resume controls with live counters and a backlog estimate to keep you informed.
• Snapshot seeding for large roots: instant first‑paint; use “Verify Now” to reconcile changes.
• Single toolbar ellipsis consolidates data actions:
  • Verify Now
  • Refresh From Disk
  • Force Full Refresh (bypass snapshot)
  • Rebuild Snapshot

Performance & Thumbnails

• First‑screen thumbnail prewarm only; automatically aborts under memory pressure or when the viewport advances.
• Memory‑pressure‑aware image loaders downshift preview quality (filesystem + Photos) to reduce allocations.

Video & Photos

• Video preview: zero forward buffer, waits‑to‑minimize‑stall, and external playback disabled on macOS to reduce route churn.
• Photos integration: moves requestImageDataAndOrientation off the main queue in resource flows; viewport‑aware preheating maintained for smooth scrolling.

Export

• PDF export forces a deep ExifTool run, ensuring complete EXIF/IPTC/XMP is embedded in generated PDFs.
