Release date: 2026-01-27

New

• **Per-field required/optional settings.** Each extraction field now has its own required/optional dropdown, replacing the global toggle. This gives you precise control over which fields must have values for a rename to proceed.
• **In-app update notifications.** A banner now appears when an update is available, with quick access to install or view the changelog.

Improvements

• **Redesigned AI provider cards.** Provider cards now use accordion behavior—expanding one collapses others. Selection is integrated directly into each card, and the app auto-selects a valid provider when you save a new API key.
• **More reliable watch folder processing.** Files added during brief monitoring pauses are now caught by a follow-up scan.

Bug Fixes

• **First file no longer blocked on startup.** Fixed a race condition where the first file detected after launch could be permanently blocked while license validation completed.
• **Fixed memory leaks during image loading.** Resolved memory growth when viewing many images.
• **Fixed memory leak in file monitoring.** Addressed a leak that could occur during rename operations.
• **Local provider status updates correctly.** The connection indicator now reflects actual status changes in real time.
• **Template field handling is more reliable.** Fixed issues with required field detection, field deletion cleanup, and separator handling.
