⏱️ Performance

  • Reduced memory usage
    • Image loading has been optimized to reduce Large Object Heap (LOH) allocations and minimize garbage collection overhead. This significantly reduces memory usage when navigating between images.
  • Faster gallery loading
    • The thumbnail loading logic has been improved. It will now load faster in larger directories with more images.
    • Gallery loading now halts more efficiently when changing directories and reloads faster after the initial image is loaded.

  • Window position and state memory
    • The Batch Resize window now remembers its last position.
    • The Image Info window remembers both size and position.
    • The Settings window now remembers the last selected tab and its position.
  • Improved window startup The main window startup procedure has been optimized to reduce flickering and feel smoother.

    • Date and time pickers for Date Taken, Created, Modified, and Last Access text boxes are planned for the next major release.
