#12Wow, 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.

#13This 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!

#14I 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.

#15These 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.

#16As 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?
Yes, but comparing to Finder you could actually have a useful preview of your files, with caching and stuff

This is a type of software that can be feature complete quickly, so besides maintenance i don't see how long can you innovate. The nice thing though is that if the app disappears you go back to Bridge and you continue where you left off, you don't lose your ratings and labels and stuff.
Can you tell me about Affinity, what kind of integration? You can currently open a photo to edit in Affinity

Do you mean to show the jpeg when you have a raw+jpeg pair? I'm planning to add some options here in the next version, you'll be able to chose if to see both at once or only one and toggle between them

Mainly I would like to see (if you don’t have it already) proper support for /previewing Affinity files (ideally the older .afphoto but I believe they are similar), and also Affinity layered TIFF, which I have used quite a bit.
I will test the app out soon. Best of luck with it!

That's some serious commitment there, i don't want to be responsible for people's files and i don't want to lock them into my software either. It seems to me highly inefficient to upload raws to a server then browse and edit online
