I'm happy to announce that our next Preview Version is finishing testing and is ready for ya'll to take it for a spin.

Preview Version 2.2 offers major advancements in the Regions and Layers features. Rendering layers and regions is much faster - up to 100 times faster - than in PV 2.1c, and memory management of regions is handled much better, leading to fewer errors and a better overall user experience. Regions and Layers can be toggled on and off individually to allow quick comparisons of before and after.

This Preview Version uses an updated Catalog format that provided better performance while taking up less space. Running this version for the first time will require upgrading any previously created Catalog, which can take several minutes on very large catalogs. Once you upgrade your Catalogs, they will not be able to be opened by earlier versions of Bibble 5. Some issues in PV2.1c introduced inaccurate information into the Catalogs (for example, blank "sort dates" could be created, meaning that sorting by Date could result in incorrect ordering). These issues are not resolved by upgrading your Catalogs. You will need to create a new Catalog to take full advantage of these features.

And now, on to the downloads: (updated Aug 21st for for PV2.2c)

http://download.bibblelabs.com/b5

Changes in this version include:
Code:
» Major improvements to the Layers & Regions tools, with better memory management and much faster rendering
» Implemented On / Off toggles per Region and per Layer
» Implemented File -> Open and drag & drop to open image files and work queues.

» Implemented counting of thumbnails
» Implemented recording of subsecond time for cameras that support it
» Improved Windows Recycle Bin operations
» Improved Linux Trash operations (to be freedesktops.org compliant)
» Improved File System Workflow: files are refreshed from Bibble XMP settings on each folder change, new master files shown, old ones removed.
» Fixed crash when renaming versions with image panel hidden
» Fixed crash when switching quickly between Thumbnails (most commonly seen on JPEG's)
» Fixed crash when moving non-Master version imported by Ref Locations
» Fixed crash when browsing to "/" in linux
» Fixed crash selecting a version that had layers but was set to defaults
» Implemented "New Version from Defaults"
» Changed rating, labels amp; other metadata actions to affect only the "Active" images, not the entire selection, when in Multiview
» Resolved: Rename version has issues with conflicting filenames

» Resolved: Bibble always creates ~/Pictures/bibble5 for the default catalog
» Resolved: library/folder view does not re-draw after drag/drop
» Resolved: curves don't get enabled when changing them
» Resolved: undo a move file in "Referenced Locations" folders does not move the master file back
» Resolved: PV2.1c: jpeg import use wrong EXIF date to select asset dir
» Resolved: Histogram not updated after using BW plugin, Harry or iNDA
» Resolved: undoing moving files makes them appear offline
» Resolved: new version commands do not set the sort date
» Resolved: Adding levels to hierarchical keyword duplicates keyword
» Resolved: Cropping: it guesses landscape / portrait wrong every time
» Resolved: Rename command needs duplicate name handling
» Resolved: Nikon D40 white balance numbers are off
» Resolved: Jobname reset for queues per queue run

Preview Version 2.2a Now Available

The links above have been updated to link to PV2.2a, just posted with these improvements since PV2.2 was posted on Monday:

Code:

* Fixed: Crash when switching between images
* Fix a crash when trying to rename a file without complete EXIF data
* Fixed: Program can hang when working with corrupt JPEGs
* Speedup switching from Version to Version
* Another upgrade to speed the startup process
* linux popup windows fix
* slightly more obvious display of the selected thumbnails
* added a 'rebuild Previews' command, cause double-clicking Exposure is lame
* Packing the batch dialogs a bit to keep them under 600 pix tall (netbook limit)
* When importing by reference, don't allow renaming, even if the rename box is populated.
* MultiView-specific behavior should not happen when in thumbs-only view
* Properly restoring the multiview state on startup
* Re-enable drag & drop to reorder thumbnails
* Fix Stack / Unstack Commands


Thanks for all your help in identifying these issues!


Thanks,
Bibble Labs
