Prvw v0.14.0
A slideshow, Copy and Print, and instant previews the moment you open a RAW. The viewer also picks up a Liquid Glass
frame on macOS 26.
Added
- Slideshow (⌘S): auto-advance through the folder with a crossfade, faster/slower on
]/[, and time, crossfade, and
loop settings; it waits for the next image to decode so there's no "Loading…" flash
(4012fde8,
3d916255) - Copy the image to the clipboard (⌘C, right-click): pastes the real file with full quality and EXIF, or pixels into
editors and chat apps (aa3750a8) - Print the current image (⌘P, right-click) through the system print dialog
(b7882b5f) - Show the camera's embedded preview instantly when you open a RAW (from Finder or by navigating), then snap to the
sharp develop — no more ~450 ms blank wait (175d01ef,
53927b9b) - Liquid Glass window frame on macOS 26, matching Quick Look, across the viewer, Settings, About, and Onboarding

Changed
- Thumbnail cache size now scales with your Mac's RAM instead of a fixed window, keeping memory respectful on small
machines and generous on big ones (d8cae942) - Navigating away from a huge JPEG no longer blocks the next image, and a cancelled decode that finishes anyway is
salvaged into the cache instead of wasted (40f2f892,
65bfceec) - Decode JPEGs straight to RGBA: a 24 MP photo opens in ~80 ms instead of ~250 ms and uses about half the peak memory
(37f6691e) - Bump the Exif and histogram backdrop opacity so both panels stay legible over bright images
(8f6e5d5e) - Tidy the menu bar: Edit holds only "Copy image", macOS's auto-injected items are pruned, H/E/F shortcut hints show,
and a Help menu appears (15ccfa2d) - Quiet non-actionable RAW decode warnings (9bb360f0)
Fixed
- Show the photo's capture date in the Exif overlay again (it was blank on JPEG, HEIC, and WebP)
(a9ceb7ea) - Let WebP actually be set as Prvw's default format (it was registered under a UTI macOS never uses)
(8df9cf0f) - Stop the file-association toggle knob flying off its track when setting a default
(0a9305b4) - Stop showing macOS's generic file-type icons as cache-miss placeholders
(1dad2fb4)
Non-app
- Optimize the hot image dependencies in dev builds (the overrides were silently ignored in a member manifest)
(ed2f9430) - Fix the CI pnpm install broken by an upstream asset change, by switching mise to the npm backend
(c51af9e1) - Stop E2E test windows stealing the developer's focus, and add nextest retries to absorb GPU-contention flakes
(8ea24961) - Refresh the agent docs (commit-at-will, worktrees, naming)
