Charmera videos now import alongside photos. AVI clips are prepared as MOV locally with their capture date; originals stay on the camera. Video and audio quality are preserved without re-encoding.
A clearer Welcome flow lets you finish setup before importing, with optional notifications and a smoother Photos permission experience.
A redesigned Status section shows useful check results, keeps completion messages visible while you read them, and offers recovery actions when needed.
Offline recognition skips previously imported photos and videos, including likely duplicates whose originals are stored in iCloud, without requesting downloads.
Safer import history and interrupted-work recovery help prevent duplicates; routine checks respect items you deliberately removed from Apple Photos.
Optional album additions report their results, and a running total includes photos and videos Charmoire imported or recognized from earlier manual imports.
Optional cleanup asks before moving newly synced files to macOS Trash, with stronger file checks and recovery; normal syncing keeps camera originals.
Report a bug lets you find local diagnostic logs and copy the support email; nothing is sent automatically.
A new app icon and clearer menu, setup and settings copy make Charmoire easier to recognize and use.
Better photo metadata: New imports from recognized Charmeras repair malformed dates and incorrect dimensions, and include KODAK Charmera camera information. Repairs happen on a temporary copy, never on your camera. When a usable capture date is missing, the file's modification time is used.
Stronger duplicate detection: Recognizes matching JPEG image data even when filenames or metadata differ. Existing sync history is preserved.
Clearer setup: Photos, camera access, and notification controls appear with context. A manual connection option is available if recognition fails.
Clearer progress: Branded sync, attention, and completion badges; incremental import progress; concise, timestamped status messages.
Safer eject controls: Eject from the menu, including during a sync, or enable automatic eject after a successful check. Disconnecting no longer produces a misleading camera-permission notification.
Quieter settings and updates: Simplified settings, optional album selection, and a version footer. When an update is available, choose Update Charmoire… in the menu or the update link in Settings to review and install it.
