Smarter Scanning • Added recognition for gaming archive and bundle file types - DriveVault now skips deep scanning of game files, dramatically reducing scan times for drives with large game libraries. DriveVault now recognises over 180 different bundle / archive types across dozens of use-cases to reduce scan times and provide users with the most relevant information possible. • Internal SSD scanning is now blocked to prevent freezes caused by scanning millions of system files. • NAS and RAID drives are automatically detected with a warning that DriveVault is not yet optimised for these drive types. Related help documentation has been added. Refreshed Previews • Spacebar Quick Look preview has been revamped with a cleaner layout and richer metadata display. • Sidebar preview panel redesigned to present file information more clearly. Visual Polish • New glow effects on progress bars for a more refined look during scans. We're continuously improving DriveVault, thank you to our awesome community for providing feedback that helps us make DriveVault as powerful and easy to use as possible.

BEAUTIFUL NEW HOME VIEW Redesigned drive library (Home) with custom icons, visual project organization, and drag-and-drop support. Create color-coded projects and instantly organize your drives with an intuitive, modern, sortable and searchable interface. The home for all your drives. (Note; you may need to recreate projects if you had projects in a previous version of DriveVault) ENHANCED SEARCH Improved search with helpful tips and safeguards against overly broad queries that could freeze the app. Search is now faster and more reliable. MODERN INTERFACE UPDATES - New, smoother and more informative initializing sequence when opening the app - New column / icon view toggle buttons in the bottom toolbar - Updated "Add Drives" button with distinctive glowing green styling to differentiate the action from "Scan Drives" - Quick access to App Store reviews and feedback with the 'Star' icon BUGS AND FIXES - EXIF and metadata now properly saved and searchable across all files (please rescan your drives to assign metadata if you have old scans that are missing it) - Advanced search now correctly returns results with custom tags, notes and ratings - Tags and notes persistence between sessions fully resolved - Improved drive re-scan functionality for drives with new content - Fixed a layout issue where having a smaller app window size could force the metadata progress bar to overlap with other UI elements - Fixed a layout issue during scanning where users occasionally saw two different dialogue windows on top of each other Note: If re-scan does not perform as expected, try deleting the previews folder (accessed by clicking the "i" icon next to a drive), forgetting the drive and performing a fresh scan for best results, we are still testing some aspects of the re-scan functionality.
