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
    (625b5907,

    4988055d)

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)
    (1b5c3a9a,
