- Smart Telescope Sort is now Telescope Data Sort. Your settings, folders and terms acceptance carry over. - A new icon with an Open Source banner. - Works with data from any telescope or camera, including classic setups, when the files are in folders named for the object. Smart-telescope layouts are still detected automatically. - A new "Using data from other telescopes" section in the user manual, with the folder rules and an example. - When no smart-telescope layout is found, the window says "Folders from any telescope or camera". - A new Credits window, in the Telescope Data Sort menu, the Help menu and the sidebar. It lists the people behind the app and its data sources. - A session folder at the top of your Capture Folder now shows its own name instead of "Captures". - Rows with no files left to sort no longer appear after sorting. - A notice at the top of the window and the manual: "This has not been tested with other telescopes, but there is no reason it will not work with almost any data that it supports!" - Open-source freeware (MIT): the copyright line is gone from the app and the manual.

• Safer sorting: copy, check, then delete. Each file is copied into Targets and checked byte for byte. Originals are deleted only after every move is done and you say Yes twice. • The whole Capture Folder is scanned in one pass, and folders with no object name are named in one list. • Plate solves move into Targets {year}/{object}/Plate Solves, next to their images. • New OK to Delete checkboxes for JSON and astrometry files. Folders holding any other files are never deleted. • Duplicates are recognized even when an earlier copy was saved under a number, and the new Remove Identical Copies tool cleans up extra copies in Targets. • After sorting, the Capture Folder is rescanned and you're asked twice before the processed folders are deleted. • Status lights show whether the Capture, Target and Backup folders are set. • A first-launch disclaimer you accept once. Help → Terms Acceptance Record shows when you agreed. • Runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 15 or newer. • Updated user manual, and a GitHub logo on the source-code link.

• Folder layout is detected automatically. No telescope type to choose. • Sort TIFF, FITS, and JPG files. • Name your backup and choose zip or tarball, with a progress bar and Cancel. • Asks Yes or No before deleting finished folders, and offers to sort skipped file types first. • New smart-telescope icon and a cleaner sidebar. • Smart Telescope Sort is now open source. Find the GitHub link in the sidebar and the Help menu.

Review file plan is active whenever a plan is ready. The app icon no longer carries an OS version badge. Telescope names are used only to identify folder layouts. This independent app is not affiliated with or created by telescope manufacturers.
