Version 10.0.0 - 18.08.2025r

Breaking changes

Users

  • Some languages now have unified names in Crowdin (e.g. es → es-ES). The GUI may not find them and will fall back to the default language.
  • Cache files now use memory limits and are incompatible with previous versions.
  • Cli image filter argument changed from faussian to gaussian

Devs

  • stop_flag is now required argument in most of the core functions
  • Visibility of some core functions has been reduced to pub(crate)
  • The modules in czkawka_core have been split and reorganized a bit — imports need to be adjusted, although the actual behavior and item names should not be changed too much

Core

  • Replaced println/eprintln with logging functions - #1478
  • Slightly improved cache loading and saving speed - #1478
  • Messages and panics are now also logged to a file (can be disabled by setting the DISABLE_FILE_LOGGING environment variable) - #1508
  • Added a 8GB memory limit when loading or saving cache to avoid out-of-memory crashes with broken cache files - #1508
  • Czkawka binaries are now reproducible - #1565
  • Added protection against deleting a folder that is no longer empty since the scan - #1566
  • Replaced pdf-rs with the more popular lopdf library, which also has fewer dependencies - #1566
  • Replaced imagepipe + rawloader with rawler which is still supported and faster to decode raw files - #1572
  • Added more configuration options in video finder - #1578
  • fast_image_resize feature is removed and image_hasher/fast_resize_unstable is enabled unconditionally - #1586

CLI

  • Improved logic for deleting files and added progress bar for this operation - #1571

GTK GUI

  • New icons — less visually appealing, but created by me and released under a truly free CC BY license - #1478
  • Fixed crash when removing outdated cache - #1508
  • Fixed missing file and folder names for similar videos in reference folders - #1520
  • Fixed crashes when the SVG pixbuf loader is not available - #1565
  • Fixed using custom select on referenced folders - #1581

Krokiet

  • Added the ability to select multiple items with mouse and keyboard - #1478
  • Added sort button - #1501
  • Window size is now remembered - #1508
  • Added translations - #1508, #1513
  • Improved popup styling - #1520
  • Dark and light themes can now be switched at runtime - #1520
  • Changed icon color to white for dark theme to improve visibility - #1520
  • Added the ability to hide text on buttons - #1520
  • Multithreaded removing, moving, and renaming of files - #1565
  • Files that fail to be removed, renamed, or moved are no longer deleted from the results list - #1565
  • Progress information is shown when removing, renaming, or moving files, with the ability to stop the process - #1565
  • Folders to scan can be now set via cli e.g. krokiet /home/rafal - for more info see krokiet --help - #1566
  • Improved appearance of bottom directories panel - #1569
  • Some buttons, are disabled, when there is no files selected - #1586
  • Added info about the number of items selected to delete - #1589
  • Limit image preview to max 1024 width/height, to speedup preview loading and fixing crash in software renderer - #1590

External

  • There is a new unofficial Tauri-based frontend for Czkawka - Czkawka Tauri
  • Czkawka 8.0.0 is now available in Debian Sid - Cli/Gui Gtk

CI

  • Compilation for 32-bit targets is now checked in CI
  • Czkawka binaries are now checked for reproducibility in CI

Prebuilt binaries

  • AppImage binaries are no longer provided due to random bugs (not present in other packaging formats) and minimal added value compared to prebuilt Linux binaries or Flatpak
  • HEIF Mac binaries are now provided
  • CI now builds Linux binaries on Ubuntu 22.04 instead of 20.04(github removed 20.04 images)
  • musl builds of czkawka_cli are now provided instead of eyra builds (slightly easier to maintain). GUI builds are not included due to limitations of musl and eyra :(
  • Prebuilt Windows console binaries are no longer provided — logs are now saved to a file, which is easier to read than terminal output
  • Skia opengl and vulkan backends are provided for Krokiet on Linux(no binaries on Windows, because don't know how to replace sed)
  • Prebuilt binaries are now build with lto fat instead lto thin and codegen-units=1 to greatly reduce binary size(~25% smaller binaries)

Virustotal

Legend:

  • If you are a beginner and don't know which version to use, start with one of these depending on your OS (if they don’t work, try different builds):
    • Windows – windows_krokiet_on_linux, windows_czkawka_gui_gtk_46
    • Mac – mac_krokiet_x86_64, mac_krokiet_arm, mac_czkawka_gui_x86_64, mac_czkawka_gui_arm
    • Linux – linux_krokiet_skia_opengl_x86_64, linux_krokiet_x86_64, linux_czkawka_gui_x86_64
  • krokiet – graphical version of the app (recommended over the GTK version)
  • gtk_gui – graphical GTK version of the app
  • cli – command-line version of the app
  • gtk_46, gtk_412 – GTK versions used to build the Windows app. On some systems gtk_46 works, on others gtk_412, so choose the one that works on your computer.
  • arm, x86_64 – CPU architecture. Most Windows/Linux uses x86_64, while on Mac the arm version is becoming the most common choice. (To run the app, you need to use the correct one.)
  • heif, raw, avif – additional features that require extra libraries installed on the OS
  • skia_opengl, skia_vulkan – alternative Linux backends for Krokiet; may fix some issues like blurry fonts
