This update brings many improvements that come directly from your feedback. Thank you for testing, reporting, and suggesting features! UI & Display + New scalable and freely movable filename displayed directly above the image, enabled by default and optionally disableable. A new info icon next to the filename opens a compact file and EXIF information view. Rating status (e.g. Keep, Reject, etc.) is now shown directly in front of the filename so ratings remain visible when navigating back using arrow navigation + New guidelines such as Phi Grid or Golden Spiral can now be displayed Workflow & Sessions + Sessions can now be ended and later resumed without having to process an entire folder in one go + New option “Treat RAW + JPG as a pair” in the control section (enabled by default). RAW and JPG files can now be rated together, making large photo collections much faster to sort + Support for custom hotkey folder actions added. Custom shortcuts can be assigned to specific target folders. Images can be marked for special categories during a session and are automatically copied to the defined folders at the end of the session Navigation & Controls + Option added to fully disable custom arrow key mapping and use standard arrow key navigation instead + Fixed an issue where double-click zoom on portrait images did not correctly center on the mouse position
