Smart previews always lived in <library>/Smart Previews, so a large set of proxies
filled the library's drive. The folder is now a per-library setting (prefs.json):
- library.smartPreviewsLocation shows the effective folder (path, count, size,
availability) or changes it; changing it needs an explicit choice for the
previews already built (move, leave or discard), and reset returns to the
library's own folder.
- The new folder must accept writes before anything moves. A folder whose parent
is missing (an unplugged drive) is an error and is never created on the current
drive; building also refuses while a chosen folder is unavailable.
- Building, discarding, status and offline rendering all use the chosen folder.
- Settings -> Performance -> Smart previews shows the path before building, what
it holds, the existing-previews choice, Choose Folder... and Use Library Folder.
The thumbnail cache stays in the library.

A filter set from the sidebar (By Date), the search field or the filter bar
narrows the current source, but nothing said so: a folder with a hidden date
filter looked empty.
- Chips under the grid header, one per active filter, each with an X that
clears only that filter; "+N more" lists the ones that do not fit; Clear all.
- The header counts "N of M photos" (matching of the source's total) while a
filter is on; the total is cached per source/catalog revision.
- A badge on the top-bar filter icon counts the active filters, filter bar
open or not.
- An empty result says no photos match the active filters, and how many the
source holds, instead of implying the folder is empty.

rename::expand_tokens is shared by Rename Photos, import renaming and export naming, so {seq:N},
{date:%…}, {camera}, {title}, {ext} work in exports too (a bare {seq} still pads to 3 digits there).
New shared tokens: {num} (number at the end of the name), {folder}, {lens}, {iso}, {rating},
{creator}. An export name that expands to nothing keeps the original name. The MCP export tool
passes startNumber through and documents the tokens.

Browse Folder listed, probed and imported the whole folder on the UI thread, so a
network share froze the window with no feedback. It now lists and reads on a worker
(progress window with Cancel), then adds the photos in small batches reusing the
scan's probes. Folders picked with Browse Folder… stay in the Local list after
browsing elsewhere.

A Point Curve dropdown under the curve graph shows the preset the photo's
point curves match (or Custom) and lists our own built-ins (Linear, Medium
Contrast, Strong Contrast: symmetric S-curves, values chosen here) and the
user's presets; Save Point Curve... names and stores the current four
channels, right-click deletes, Import/Export Presets... read and write
.lccurve JSON files. Presets set only the point curves (parametric curve and
Refine Saturation stay) and are saved with the library preferences.
Engine commands: curve.presets, curve.applyPreset, curve.savePreset,
curve.deletePreset, curve.importPresets, curve.exportPresets; UI commands
file.importCurvePresets / file.exportCurvePresets (file dialogs on desktop).

New engine command curve.reset {channel?: all|point|parametric|master|red|

CLI / MCP / control channel. In the editor: double-click a channel selector
resets that channel, a Reset button under the graph resets every curve
(point curves and parametric), and right-clicking the graph offers
Reset <channel> / Reset All Curves.

Raw variants the decoder can't read yet (e.g. Nikon Huffman-compressed NEF
from a D3200/D5100) silently fell back to the camera's embedded JPEG, so
users edited a JPEG with the camera's picture style (e.g. Monochrome) baked
in without being told.
- catalog: Photo.preview_only (serde default; old catalogs load), set /
cleared by Op::SetContent with an exact inverse; Photo::develops_raw().
- engine: ProbeInfo.preview_only carries the decoder's Unsupported reason
into import, the import review (previewOnly) and catalog.query
(previewOnly); photo.inspect includes it. photo.reload and photo.relink
re-probe and clear/set it when the file decodes (or not) now.
- source_info: a preview-only raw is a rendered source (relative WB scale,
display tone curve) instead of raw:true/5500 K + filmic tone map on a
display-referred JPEG; import uses the JPEG default preset for it; the
Edit panel shows the rendered-file WB sliders.
- UI: "Preview" badge on grid thumbnails, a pill on the loupe, a notice in
Edit and Info (amber caution token, Info icon drawn in code).
- Tests: catalog serde/undo, engine import -> reopen -> reload/relink,
headless UI badge/notice widgets.

An .lmp look is an XML property list of adjustment layers with named
sliders (newer looks: a Name.lmp/Contents/preset.lmp bundle); an
.mplumpack is a zip of looks plus PresetsInfo.plist (GroupName).
preset.import, the file dialog and drag & drop now accept both. Sliders
with a clear counterpart (exposure, contrast, highlights/shadows,
whites/blacks, WB shift, saturation/vibrance, clarity/structure,
dehaze, HSL, point curves, vignette, grain) map onto develop settings;
the rest is reported in `unmapped`. Looks are named after the look and
grouped by the pack. Tests use synthetic looks and packs only.

LibrarySource was an internally tagged enum (tag = "kind") whose Album
variant holds an AlbumId, and serde cannot serialize an integer newtype
in an internally tagged enum. With an album open:
- library.state unwrapped the error and panicked; over the control
channel this closed the desktop app.
- view.json (source, filter, sort, selection) was written empty
(to_vec_pretty(...).unwrap_or_default()), so the view was lost on the
next launch.
Adjacent tagging (content = "id") keeps the unit variants as
{"kind": "all"} and writes the album as {"kind": "album", "id": 8}: the
same shape library.source takes, so the reported source can be passed
back as is. Existing view.json files read unchanged.

shadows, whites, blacks, clarity, vibrance, temperature) in the grid with several selected.
- library.findSimilar {id?, similarity?}: look-alike photos by their culling signature (cached
per content), most similar first, as a view filter (Filter.only); photo menu entry.

Mask.refine (0–100, mask.refine; Masking panel ▸ Refine Edges): after a mask's components are

kernel for it yet).

lightcraft-pipeline dust.rs: sensor-dust detection on a rendered image — pixels darker than

folder.rename {path, name} and folder.move {path, into}: the folder is renamed / moved on disk
in one step (its files and sidecars go along) and the photos inside are relinked (and a

into itself and the library's own folders. Local folder tree: Rename Folder…, Move Folder To…,

lightcraft-pipeline gains lut.rs: a .cube parser (LUT_3D_SIZE, DOMAIN_MIN/MAX, TITLE), a
trilinear lookup and an in-process registry; the finishing stage applies a `lut:` profile to
the display-encoded colour, blended by the profile amount (0–200 %); LUT profiles render on the
CPU. profile.import {paths} reads files, folders and zips, copies each LUT into the library's
Profiles/ folder, lists them in prefs and registers them when the library opens; the profile
browser shows them under their folder / zip name; profile.deleteImported. File ▸ Import

A 100k-photo scaling check (ignored test `scale_100k_library_queries`) showed the left
panel rebuilding the keyword tree every frame (323 ms), the grid recomputing date headers
(57 ms) and the Keywords panel its suggestions (44 ms) every frame.
- keyword_tree builds with hash maps instead of linear sibling scans: 323 → 57 ms at 100k.
- LightcraftApp::caches keeps the keyword tree, date runs and keyword suggestions per catalog
revision (and inputs), so each is computed once per change instead of every frame.

photo.setMeta {gps: "lat, lon" | [lat, lon] | null} — decimal, or degrees / minutes / seconds

- Smart previews (smart.rs): a ~1 MB proxy per photo in the library's "Smart Previews" folder
(the decoded preview-size source, scaled, sRGB-encoded JPEG behind a one-line header). When
a photo's original is missing (an unplugged drive), its source loads from the proxy: the
photo renders, edits and exports at proxy size. library.smartPreviews {discard?},
photo.smartPreview status; File ▸ Previews ▸ Build / Discard Smart Previews; Info shows

library.autoImport {folder, copy, album} (in prefs) and library.autoImportScan: files in the
watched folder the library doesn't have are added once their size held between two scans

Op::SetContent records a photo's file facts (size, dimensions, content hash; undoable).
photo.reload re-probes the photos' files and, for those that changed on disk, updates them and
drops their cached sources; render keys now include the file's content key, so the grid and
loupe re-render. The app reloads this session's external-edit copies whenever its window
regains focus (with a toast).

photo.editExternal renders the active photo with its edits as a 16-bit TIFF "<name>-Edit.tif"

Local corrections stored as crs: structures (MaskGroupBasedCorrections and the older
gradient / circular gradient / paint containers) become our masks: linear and radial
gradients, brushes (dab runs → strokes), Subject / Sky, luminance and depth ranges, with
add / subtract / intersect and invert, and all local sliders. lightcraft-meta's XmpData gains
`values`, a structured view of every property (arrays of structs survive); .lrtemplate Lua
tables convert into the same shape.
Applying a preset adds its masks to the photo's own (once; Amount scales them); sidecar masks
replace them and radial masks are fitted to the photo's aspect. Unsupported components
(colour range, other AI selections) are reported as "Mask: <kind>".

preset.import (File ▸ Import Presets…, Presets panel ⋯, drag & drop, CLI, MCP) now reads
everything people actually download or carry over from other editors:
- classic .lrtemplate files (Lua table literal parser; value.settings uses crs: field names),
including old process-version fields (Exposure, Contrast, FillLight, HighlightRecovery,
Shadows, Brightness, Clarity, ToneCurve) approximated with today's sliders;
- photos carrying their edits in XMP ("DNG presets" from mobile apps, edited JPEG/TIFF): the
look only, without the photo's crop, geometry or custom white balance;
- .zip bundles (stored + deflate) of any of these, skipping __MACOSX / hidden files;
- folders: the pack's folder name becomes the group, skipping app/format container folders
("Lightroom Classic", "XMP", "Mobile (DNG)"…).
Each imported preset reports the settings that had no counterpart (`unmapped`: profiles,
looks, local masks); the app's toast names them. dryRun previews, group overrides.
Dropped .lcpreset/.lrtemplate/.xmp/.zip files import as presets instead of photos.
