Improvements/bug fixes

  • Support for large (>2GB) CRM format movies/CR3 bursts.
  • To enable: use EnableCR3Movies hidden settings script (to disable: DisableCR3Movies script)
  • Of course there is no video support, the first frame of the video/burst is displayed.
  • Experimental/incomplete: detection of baked-in white balance for Canon files (CR2 and CR3)
  • To enable/disable: use EnableCanonBakedWBCheck/DisableCanonBakedWBCheck hidden settings scripts.
  • Improved handling of corrupted Nikon HE/HE* compressed files.
  • Improved reading of xmp blocks from jpeg files
  • This is an experimental option that has only been tested in our test environment, so it is possible to fallback to previous version via these hidden setting scripts:
  • ModernJPEGXMPReader (default value) - use improved/modern reader
  • LegacyJPEGXMPReader - use old (legacy) reader
  • New setting: Preferences - XMP - XMP tag for Title: According to IPTC specifications, Headline is more suitable for FRV's 'Title' because IPTC's Title is a 'human readable reference, usually a file name', while Headline is a 'brief synopsis'.
  • However, for compatibility with previous versions of FRV (and XMP files created by those versions), the default value for this setting is dc:title.
  • dc:title - write FRV 'XMP Title' into XMP's dc:title tag.
  • photoshop:Headline - write XMP Title into photoshop:Headline tag
  • Turning off the 'Handle RAW+JPEG together' setting turns off the 'Join RAW+HEIC' setting too.
  • New view mode: Menu - View - Invert Colors
  • Inverts image colors in single view mode (just (r,g,b) = 1.0-(r,g,b) in linear mode before display color profile and gamma correction applied).
  • Intended (mostly) for quick-n-durty inspection of film negative scans, but color mask is not subtracted so colors are not accurate.
  • For RAW scans (DNG): Auto white balance will give the best result. For TIFF/JPEG scans: WB is not available.
  • Shortcut: not assigned by default, use Menu - Customize - Keyboard Shortcuts - Image Display section to assign shortcut.
  • There is no indication of this mode in the bottom bar, only checkmark in menu item.
  • This display mode is restored on FRV restart if Preferences - Interface - Restore last View settings... is checked.
  • Auto-ETTR settings: the number of significant digits has been increased in 'Saturate up to' setting to allow values between 0.0 and 0.1
  • Auto-ETTR settings: new 'Manual Adjust' setting in ETTR/Autoexposure section.
  • The value of this setting is added to the calculated auto-exposure value.
  • Notes:
  • If calculated value (Auto-correction plus adjustment) is negative: zero correction is applied
  • All calculations are performed before 'Adobe hidden exposure' (BLE) shift is applied to displayed correction value.
  • New action/menu item: Select -> Append Selection to file:
  • No standard shortcut, can be assigned in the usual way (in the "File Selection for Batch" section of the shortcut editor)
  • If a selection has not been saved during the current session, a standard file selection dialog opens.
  • If a save was made during the current session, the last used file will be appended (with visual feedback).
  • Added the Selection - Reset last used selection save file on folder change setting, enabled by default. If enabled, the last file used for saving is reset (forgotten) when the current folder is changed.
  • New setting: Preferences - Other - Extra messages mask, enables additional (very specific) messages to Debug log.
  • Bugfix: if Image Display - Exposure - Apply Adobe hidden exposure correction setting is off and XMP - Exposure, Contrast, WB - Force Adobe software to match FastRawViewer brightness setting is on, and the exposure information is taken from an XMP file in Adobe settings section, then the Adobe correction (hidden exposure compensation) was not added to the exposure value.
