These things are such a puzzle because there are so many that pop up and just don’t survive. I loved FileLoupe, for example, but it appears abandoned.

So I am sure to try this. I’d love to see closer integration with Affinity where that is possible.

I would argue that the choice to render the embedded JPG is optimal from the UX of a Fuji user. We tend to use the JPG as the creative reference we want to start from using the film sims.

This looks so promising as a lightweight replacement for Bridge or Photo Mechanic and the interface is great.

Has a lot of opportunity on the actual image rendering and performance side, but will definitely keep up with updates on how it evolves!

Wow, nice implementation, very smooth.

I’m building photopipe.app, a paid cloud-based culling tool, so I’m taking the opposite approach. Curious what made local-first important for you.

I’ll check this out. The macOS photo library situation is really embarrassing. I actually migrated from Affinity to DxO Photolab (expensive!) a few years ago just for that.

Just make sure to release it on Windows, There are more installed copies of Win 10 amd Win 11 than all iOS, MacOS, OSx systems combined

As someone who has had to use Creative Cashcow tools in the past... dare I ask what the hell was Bridge even for? Just an Adobe-developed file manager?

Thank you for building high-quality alternatives to Adobe software!
