Release notes

What's new in Stillroom

Every version, newest first. From 0.4.0 on, Stillroom offers updates itself. Your libraries, tags and notes are always kept.

0.4.0 beta

Latest

The Lightbox, automatic updates and right-click menus.

New

  • The Lightbox: a tray at the right edge of the window for gathering references while you work. Drag images in, or use Add to Lightbox in an image's ⋯ menu.
  • Show on screen: each Lightbox image floats in its own small window above every other app.
  • Drag a floating image to move it. Drag its corner or scroll over it to resize it, keeping its proportions.
  • Hover over a floating image for an opacity slider. Faded images let whatever is underneath show through.
  • Lock floating images with the lock button or Ctrl+Alt+L, from any app. They stay put, and clicks pass through to the app underneath.
  • The Lightbox tray, and each image's position and opacity, are remembered between sessions.
  • Automatic updates: Stillroom checks for new versions and installs them when you agree. Settings → Check for updates… checks on demand.
  • New folder… in the sidebar's + menu creates a folder inside the one you're viewing.

Improved

  • The Open in Explorer button in the top bar now has a folder icon, and also works in The Cellar.
  • Right-clicking an image, folder, collection or tag opens Stillroom's own menu for it, at the pointer.
  • Find duplicates has been removed from the library menu.

Fixed

  • Adding or removing a tag on a single image, changing its author, or starring it can now be undone with Ctrl+Z.
  • Right-clicking no longer shows the web browser's menu (with options like Share).

Known issues

  • 0.3.0 can't update itself. Install 0.4.0 by hand once, and later updates arrive automatically. Your libraries, tags and notes are kept.
  • The beta warnings still apply: back up first, avoid cloud-synced and network folders, and attach your log file when reporting a bug. See Before you start.

0.3.0 beta

The first public beta.

Highlights

  • Organize the images already on your disk: your folders are the boards.
  • Tags, notes, favorites and collections, all saved alongside your images.
  • Fast with big collections: tested with 30,000-image libraries.
  • The Cellar sets images aside safely instead of deleting them.
  • A log file for bug reports: Settings → Show log file.
