What's new in Filmulator 0.11.1
Mar 7, 2021
- Filmulate:
- White balance can be sampled from a spot on the image. it will be remembered for that camera until overwritten or the program is closed. You can apply those saved white balance parameters to other photos taken by the same model of camera. In addition, you can also save manually chosen white balance parameters.
- Filmulator now indicates more clearly that a photo has been saved by showing a brief notification over the image view.
- Saving images on NFS network shares no longer crashes Filmulator.
- EXIF data for ISO and shutter speed is now written correctly to TIFF files.
- The lens correction dropdown tooltip now gets properly translated.
- The minimum crop area is set to 20 pixels on a side to prevent crashes.
- The escape key now cancels the lens selection box.
- Import:
- It is now possible to import from UNC file paths on Windows (those without a drive letter).
- It is now possible to import in place from a directory containing "DCIM". You do have to override the warning to do so, however.
- General:
- After updating Lensfun, the user is now prompted to restart Filmulator.
- Now with Portuguese translations, thanks to Juliano Serra.
- When using a raw file as an argument to launch Filmulator, it now opens directly to the Filmulate tab with that image selected.
- Windows builds should now correctly handle non-ASCII characters.
- Cryptographic signatures are now provided for verifying downloads. Download the version you want and the corresponding .sig file, then run gpg --verify [filename].sig [filename].
New in Filmulator 0.10.2 (Dec 25, 2020)
- Filmulation:
- Filmulator will now preload the next image in your "direction of travel" in the queue, for faster loading. This makes culling faster, for example. It also remembers the last image you had selected, so you can quickly switch back and forth between non-consecutive images.
- Organize:
- The rating filter sliders now display X instead of -1.
- General:
- TIFF metadata is handled more gracefully, so the output no longer crashes Photoshop.
New in Filmulator 0.10.1 (Nov 22, 2020)
- This is a bugfix release.
- Version 0.10.0 was discovered to have a bug when initializing the database for first-time users, breaking all image processing. If this happened to you, delete your database, which on Linux is ~/.local/share/filmulator/filmulatorDB and on Windows is C:Users<USER>AppDataLocalfilmulatorfilmulatordb. Then run version 0.10.1.
New in Filmulator 0.10.0 (Nov 21, 2020)
- Processing:
- New feature: leveling. Press the new button (or L) to initiate leveling. Select a rotation point for the guide indicators, and then drag about it to rotate. When the cursor is near the guide point, a circle will appear indicating that you can drag it around. Filmulator will remember where you put the rotation point, making it easier to finely adjust the level. Press shift-L or double-click the right mouse button to reset the leveling to zero.
- The 90 degree rotation buttons are now disabled when image isn't fully loaded, also when cropping or leveling.
- When you set the crop area to the full image, it now resets the database to think that it hasn't been cropped at all, so changing the rotation by 90 degrees no longer cuts off the image to maintain aspect ratio if you've decided you don't want to crop the image.
- Import:
- Make preset buttons for common import scenarios
- Organize:
- Changed "count" to "photos" in the tooltip for the date histogram
- Queue:
- Pressing the up or down arrow keys lets you increment the current image's rating up or down by one for one-handed culling.
- General:
- Add UI hints explaining how to use the application for new users.
- Add shortcut labels to tooltips for buttons
New in Filmulator 0.9.1 (Nov 4, 2020)
- Processing:
- The film area is revealed numerically instead of being SF, MF, or LF.
- A bug when shadow rolloff + highlight rolloff exceeded 1 has been fixed.
- When initiating cropping, the grab handles briefly flash, to help onboard new users.
- Organize:
- Images briefly flash when enqueued via double-clicking, to provide feedback.
- The date histogram scrollbar becomes transparent when hovered so that it doesn't cover up the dates completely.
- Max rating is now properly labeled.
- General:
- The queue now jumps to the active image when you switch images via left/right arrow keys.
- If a path to a raw file is given as a command-line argument, it will import and automatically load the image on startup.
- German translations are now available, courtesy Luemmel from discuss.pixls.us.
- Certain parts of the UI were widened to make room for the German translation.
- EXIF writing was enabled for TIFFs. This can be a bit glitchy sometimes though in terms of other programs opening the files, though.
- The icon was tweaked to match the name better.
