[0.9.21] — Internal Beta

Version 0.9.21 (Internal Beta)

Overview

Phosor is a desktop application designed to help photographers quickly browse, evaluate, and organize large collections of photos. It provides a fast, keyboard-driven culling experience in a lightweight, single-file application for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Features

  • Folder scanning — Recursively scans selected folders for supported image files.
  • Photo preview — Displays photos one at a time with fast loading and smooth navigation.
  • Category system — Fully customizable categories with names, colors, keyboard shortcuts, and output folders.
  • Single & Burst Mode — Sort one photo per keypress or rapidly assign photos at a configurable interval.
  • Undo/Redo — Up to 100 levels of undo for all sorting actions.
  • Metadata display — Shows EXIF metadata including camera, lens, exposure, and GPS.
  • Image controls — Zoom (10%–200% slider, 20%–400% wheel), pan, and 3×3 composition grid.
  • Execute & Move — Batch move flagged photos to category-specific output folders.
  • Keyboard shortcuts — Fully keyboard-operable with platform-aware shortcuts.
  • Toast notifications — Brief, non-intrusive feedback for user actions.
  • Modal dialogs — Confirmation, alert, warning, error, and progress dialogs.
  • Sidebar — Resizable, responsive sidebar with Source, Categories, Metadata, and Action sections.

Supported Formats

  • Supported: JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg), PNG (.png), WebP (.webp), TIFF (.tif, .tiff)
  • RAW: Canon (.cr2), Nikon (.nef), Sony (.arw), Adobe DNG (.dng), Olympus (.orf), Panasonic (.rw2)

Changes

  • RAW format support: Canon CR2, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Adobe DNG, Olympus ORF, and Panasonic RW2 files are now supported.

Known Limitations

  • Category configuration is not persisted between sessions.
  • There is no drag-to-reorder for categories.
  • There is no file-type filter during scanning.
  • The scan order is determined by the filesystem, not by filename or date.
  • There is no fit-to-screen or 100% zoom shortcut.
  • The grid is always 3×3 — no other grid configurations are available.
  • Pan is not available when the image is at default zoom.
  • The move operation is irreversible — there is no "undo move" feature.
  • Photos without an assigned category are not moved.
  • The move does not create subfolders by date or any other criteria.
  • There is no toast history or log.
  • Toasts cannot be dismissed manually.
  • Modals cannot be dismissed by clicking outside (except for the shortcut guide).
  • There is no modal timeout.
  • There is no visual undo/redo history list.
  • The undo history limit is 100 entries.
  • Only sorting actions are recorded in the undo history — navigation is not.
  • Very large JPEG files may cause memory spikes.
  • The sidebar cannot be manually hidden on large screens.
  • There is no collapse/expand toggle button for the sidebar.
