Changelog

1.8.0

maj 10, 2026

Better local models, smarter suggestions, and smoother cross-platform behavior

  • Added backend status indicator to the status bar.
  • The app now runs as a single instance - opening it again brings the existing window to the front instead of starting a second copy.
  • Restored the app launcher for the non-Microsoft Store versions of the app and improved GPU selection, now preferring CUDA over Vulkan when both are available.
  • Improved local GPU startup and local visual model handling for better reliability and compatibility.
  • Added Gemma 3 4B IT and set it as the default visual model.
  • Added Gemma 3 4B IT and Gemma 1.1 7B as built-in local categorization model choices, replacing LLaMa 3B.
  • Improved image categorization quality and consistency by preserving image descriptions, using richer prompt context, adding special handling for screenshots and UI captures, and reducing drift equivalent between category labels.
  • Improved image analysis stability, fallback behavior, and model-download validation.
  • Added options to clear categorization and app caches, including a deeper reset of stored categorization state.
  • Added local learning from your review decisions to improve future suggestions.
  • Added localized Quick Start help, an FAQ link, and additional interface languages including Hindi, Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, and Simplified Chinese.
  • Expanded category-language support and made the Settings → Category language menu model-aware: Gemma 3 4B and custom local models expose the full app-supported list, while smaller built-in local models now show only their supported languages.
  • Local Gemma 3 4B text categorization now reuses the already-downloaded visual Gemma 3 text model when applicable.

1.7.3

mars 22, 2026

Improved multilingual categorization, stability, and update reliability

  • Non-English categorization is now more reliable: files are categorized canonically in English first, then translated into the selected category language, with localized labels persisted separately from the canonical taxonomy/cache.
  • App updates now support separate update streams for Windows, macOS, and Linux, while still accepting the legacy single-stream manifest format for newer clients.
  • Windows feeds can now provide a direct installer URL plus SHA-256 checksum so the app can download the installer, show download progress, verify its integrity, and launch it after confirmation.
  • The UI translation system was migrated fully to Qt .ts / .qm catalogs.
  • Local categorization with local LLMs is now more robust: prompt budgeting, output sanitization, and category/subcategory parsing were hardened so verbose or oddly formatted replies no longer cause widespread invalid categorization failures.
  • Recursive scans now tolerate unreadable subfolders and other filesystem errors instead of aborting the overall run.
  • Cached category labels are sanitized more aggressively to avoid malformed UTF-8 data breaking later categorization or display.
  • macOS local-LLM packaging/runtime handling was hardened: bundled llama/ggml dylibs are now relocatable, and the app no longer falls back to conflicting system/Homebrew ggml libraries during backend loading.
  • Linux/macOS build and packaging flows were improved, including staged PDFium runtime files, better Debian package dependencies, CPU/CUDA/Vulkan Debian package variants, and improved Homebrew MediaInfo detection on macOS source builds.
  • Added cross-platform diagnostics collection scripts for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Misc improvements.
  • Misc bug fixes.

1.7.0

mars 8, 2026

Progress View Redesign, Media Metadata Renaming, and Stability Improvements

  • Progress dialog redesigned into a stage-based table view with explicit stages for Image analysis, Document analysis, and Categorization.
  • Added an image analysis option to append image creation dates (if available) to category names.
  • Added optional audio/video metadata-based filename suggestions for supported media files. When enabled, AI File Sorter can use embedded tags (such as ID3, Vorbis comments, and MP4-style metadata) to propose normalized names like year_artist_album_title.ext during review.
  • Bug fixes.

1.6.0

februari 4, 2026

Content analysis of document files, benchmark, and a lot more

  • Added document content analysis (text LLM) with rename-only/document-only options and optional creation-date suffixes for categories. Supported document formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, and ODP (plus common text formats).
  • Local 3B model download now defaults to Q4 for better GPU compatibility. The legacy Local 3B Q8 is still selectable when an existing download is found.
  • Improved the LLM selection dialog latency.
  • Added custom API endpoints to the Select LLM dialog. Custom endpoints accept base URLs or full /chat/completions endpoints, with optional API keys for local servers.
  • LLM-derived categorizations and rename suggestions are now saved as you go, so progress isn't lost if the app closes unexpectedly.
  • Image analysis now falls back (with a user prompt) to CPU if the GPU has insufficient available memory.
  • Review dialog now lets you select highlighted rows and bulk edit their categories.
  • Review dialog is now scrollable on smaller screens so action buttons stay visible.
  • Improved subcategory consistency by merging labels that only differ by generic suffixes (e.g., “files”).
  • Added a system compatibility check (benchmarking) to determine the most suitable LLM for your system.
  • Added Korean as an interface language.
  • macOS builds now include variant make targets for Apple Silicon (M1 / M2-M3) and Intel outputs, plus improved arch-aware llama.cpp builds.
  • UI, stability, persistence, and usability improvements.

1.5.0

januari 11, 2026

Image content analysis and rename workflows

  • Added content analysis for picture files via LLaVA (visual LLM), with separate model + mmproj downloads in the Select LLM dialog.
  • Added image analysis options in the main window (analyze images, offer rename suggestions, rename-only mode).
  • Added an image-only processing toggle to focus runs on supported picture files and disable standard categorization controls.
  • Review dialog now supports rename-only flows, suggested filename edits, and status labels for Renamed / Renamed & Moved.
  • Track applied picture renames so already-renamed files are not reprocessed; rename-only review hides them while categorization review keeps them visible for folder moves.
  • Added Dutch as a selectable interface language.
  • Analysis progress dialog output is now fully localized (status tags, scan/process lines, and file/directory labels) to match the selected UI language.
  • Build/test updates: mtmd progress callback auto-detection, mtmd-cli build fix, and new Catch2 tests for rename-only caching.

1.4.0

december 5, 2025

  • Added dry run / preview-only mode with From/To table, no moves performed until you uncheck.
  • Persistent Undo: the latest sort saves a plan file; use Edit -> "Undo last run" even after closing dialogs.
  • UI tweaks: Name column auto-resizes, new translations for dry run/undo strings, Undo moved to top of Edit menu.
  • A few more guard rails added.
  • Remote LLM flow now uses your own OpenAI API key (any ChatGPT model supported); the bundled remote key and obfuscation step were removed.
