Changelog

Every update, from the latest release to the very first beta.

v0.18.1

2026-04-16

Highlights

  • Dropping Windows shortcuts (.lnk files) and Network Locations into the app now correctly resolves the target path, so you can add directories via shortcuts from your Desktop or Explorer's "This PC" network locations.

Changes

  • Fix adding a folder that was previously added but has since been renamed
  • Fix directory re-link when the directory contains duplicate video files
  • Fix directory re-link falsely reporting hidden files (e.g. GoPro chapter files) as new videos
  • Fix spurious processing warning when stopping sync during the vision stage
  • Add SQLCipher license notice to the credits screen

v0.18.0

2026-04-09

Highlights

  • NAS and network drive support — you can now add directories on NAS devices and mapped network drives (Windows UNC paths and macOS network volumes)

Changes

  • Fix NAS volume not updating to unavailable status on disconnect
  • Fix directory merge issues on mapped network drives (path separator normalization)
  • Fix showing "whole volume" instead of the selected subfolder in the relink popup
  • Fix total video size and duration not updating on the directory screen after metadata analysis
