What is new in Flipic 1.0.35
## 中文 这一版只做性能,没有新功能。 **清理扫描快了一倍多。** 找闭眼、模糊、相似和重复照片时,以前固定只用 2 个核心,现在按电脑的核心数用 2 到 6 个。在我们的测试机(M5 Pro)上,917 张人像从 21 秒降到 8 秒,1000 张 RAW 从 30 秒降到 12 秒。8 核的 Mac 会用 4 个核心。扫描结果和以前完全一样。 **翻看 RAW 时占的内存少了。** 索尼、松下这类需要现解 RAW 才能看清的照片,以前连翻一阵内存会涨到 2 GB 以上,现在大约减半。翻页速度不变。 ## English This release is about performance only; there are no new features. **Cleanup scans are more than twice as fast.** Finding closed eyes, blurry shots, similar photos and duplicates used to run on 2 cores no matter the Mac. It now uses 2 to 6, depending on how many cores you have. On our test machine (M5 Pro), 917 portraits went from 21 s to 8 s, and 1,000 RAW files from 30 s to 12 s. An 8-core Mac uses 4. The results are exactly the same as before. **Browsing RAW files uses less memory.** For cameras whose RAW has to be decoded to look sharp (Sony and Panasonic, for example), memory could climb past 2 GB after paging for a while. It is now about half that. Paging speed is unchanged.
