Stable

Refresh correctly after external image replacement

Fixes stale display when an opened image is replaced or overwritten externally, refreshing the original image, thumbnail, metadata, RMS, and similarity cache through lightweight file identity checks.

Added

Support symbolic-link image files

Browse, folder comparison, free comparison, drag and drop, system open, metadata, and pinned image paths now use the same real displayable image checks.

Changed

More natural paging in folder comparison

After A-only or B-only paging, side-by-side folder comparison continues from each current index instead of forcing both sides to the same index.

Release

macOS release process updated

The macOS release now uses local Developer ID signing, notarization, and upload; GitHub Actions continues to build Windows installers and updater signature assets.
