Version 2.20

Release date: November the 27th, 2023 

The release has been mostly focused at improving both rules "Raw + Jpg" and "Time Lapse" and at fixing bugs.

  • Burst rule when no culling option is activated is now moving files to dedicated folders

  • When the user was enabling the Time Lapse rule but not time lapse were detected automatically, for good reasons, but the user manually selected some images as time lapse members, manually, the application was crashing during the applying results step.
  • In some cases, a time lapse evaluation could crash the application if no alignment points were validated
  • Trying to align on mode "Manual" a RAW file was crashing the time lapse alignment whereas RAW files are not aligned. It is no more possible to select a RAW file for alignment.
