MetaScope v1.1.5

MetaScope 1.1.5 (Build 17)

Highlights

• EXIF/IPTC Template Editors are now standalone, resizable windows with size persistence.
• Metadata Editor is now a detached, resizable window with size persistence (replaces the old modal).
• Batch Processing window is resizable and remembers its size across launches.
• Batch Edit added to list and thumbnail context menus with consistent wording and ordering.
• Open with Default App for single and multi‑selection (with a safety prompt for large opens).
• Image & Video popouts remember size and position and open at ~85% of the current display; support Reset Window Size.
• Sidebar improvements: Favorites and Recents are collapsible; added Clear Recents.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: New configurable shortcuts with conflict warnings, per‑category reset, and stable modifier order.
• File Browser Filters: Filter by media type and hide sidecars (optionally only if paired); persistent settings with toolbar/View menu controls, Apply Filters to File Operations, and an active Filtered badge.

What’s Improved

• Windows & Persistence

  • EXIF/IPTC Template Editors open in their own windows; sizes persist across launches.
  • Metadata Editor (single‑file editing) is now a separate, resizable window with size persistence.
  • Batch Processing window is resizable with size persistence.
  • EXIF/IPTC Template Managers remain windows; editor actions (New/Edit/Duplicate) open a separate editor window.
  • Editor, Batch, and Template Manager/Editor windows now remember both size and position.
  • Help window now remembers its size (ui.window.help).
  • Internal key cleanup: window size keys aligned to ui.window.* with one‑time migration from ui.modal.*.
  • Popout Image & Video Viewers (filesystem + Photos) persist width, height, and position; default sizing targets ~85% of the visible screen; enforce minimums (≥ 800×600); support Window → Reset Window Size.

• Context Menus

  • Harmonized list and thumbnail context menus: identical labels and order.
  • Added Batch Edit… to both views; opens the detached Batch window.
  • Added Open with Default App to single and multi‑select menus.
  • Added filter controls to the View menu (Show modes + Hide Sidecars) with a Clear Filters command and Filtered indicator.
  • Added Add Folder to Favorites in folder context menus (sidebar + file browser).

• Safety & UX

  • New confirmation when opening 20+ files at once; includes Don’t ask again.
  • Settings toggle (General → Behavior) to control the confirmation dialog.
  • Favorites and Recents in the sidebar are now collapsible and persist their state.
  • Added Clear Recents in menus and context menus with confirmation.

• Stability & Polish

  • Eliminated Publishing changes from within view updates warnings in Batch UI and editors.
  • Fixed arrow‑key leakage from detached windows back to the main browser.
  • Resolved occasional layout recursion when restoring window sizes.
  • Removed actor‑isolation warnings in the image viewer logging path; improved debug logging gating under Verbose settings.
  • Fixed 0 KB display in video popout; now shows actual size/bitrate where available.
  • Photos items now display file size for images and videos in Essentials.
  • Essentials tab shows relative path while Include Subfolders is enabled.
  • Window position restores synchronously when a saved origin exists to avoid one‑frame jump at open (Help, Editor, Batch, Template Managers/Editors).

Settings

• General → Behavior:

  • Confirm Before Opening Many Files — warns when launching 20+ files via Open with Default App.
  • Open Editor With Info Panel Tab — when opening the Metadata Editor, start on the Info Panel’s current tab.
  • Sync Info Panel When Editor Tab Changes — keep Info Panel and Editor tabs aligned when switching inside the Editor.

• Keyboard:

  • Customize shortcuts for core actions across the app; conflicts highlighted.
  • Per‑category reset to defaults, Esc to cancel, and stable modifier order.

Developer Notes

• MARKETING_VERSION: 1.1.5; CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION: 17.
• Window size keys standardized under ui.window.*; migration handled in WindowSizePersistenceView.
