PowerPhotos 3.2.6 fixes a few crashes and hangs
I’m happy to announce the release of PowerPhotos 3.2.6, which includes a number of crash fixes and performance improvements.
Performance improvements for iPhoto and Aperture libraries
If you have iPhoto or Aperture libraries that you use with PowerPhotos, you may have noticed that certain operations could be sluggish or even cause the app to hang. In version 3.2.6, I’ve tracked down several places where PowerPhotos was doing far more work than necessary when interacting with these older library types.
Crash and stability fixes
This release addresses several crashes that users were running into in various tasks, including:
- Trying to do a multi-library search.
- After adding a library to PowerPhotos that couldn’t be added, such as one on an unsupported drive format.
- Browsing search results.
- Selecting an album in an iPhoto or Aperture library.
Other fixes
There’s also a fix that would cause hang selecting a large number of photos in the photo browser, and a bug that would prevent the inspector from showing info for a photo selected in the duplicate browser.
PowerPhotos 3.2.6 is a free update for all registered PowerPhotos 3 users. You can download the latest version from the PowerPhotos website, or use the “Check For Updates” menu item if you already have PowerPhotos installed.
