App: Spect
Developer: Steven Frank
Genres: Photo & Video, Productivity

** NOTE! ** Spect does not interact with Apple Photos libraries. It is intended for use with loose image files stored in plain folders on your Mac.  Images stored in Photos libraries cannot be seen by Spect unless exported from Photos first.

** NOTE! ** Spect does NOT currently offer features for duplicate detection or image editing (crop, resize, rotate).

Spect is a very fast image browser and organizer for those folders full of miscellaneous images you keep on your Mac!

• Quickly open folders containing thousands of images, even from a network drive.

• Use your existing filesystem storage; no importing, no separate catalog or library files.

• Browse just top-level folders, or deep scan into sub-folders.

• Prune images you no longer want with marquee selection and delete.

• Slideshow and shuffled slideshow.

• Drag and drop images to other sub-folders.

• A fast, native Mac app built with Cocoa technologies!

Release notes:
• Significant performance optimizations that should greatly improve responsiveness during thumbnail loading, marquee selection, and other operations, especially for very large collections.  (Tested with folder structures of over 500,000 mixed image and video items.)

• Fixed an issue where images during slideshow might not be shown for the full slideshow interval if they take a long time to load.

• Videos that appear during a slideshow now play to their end before proceeding to the next item, rather than at the slideshow interval.

• Fixed thumbnail bounding boxes for marquee selection. You're much less likely to accidentally start a drag when starting a marquee selection in the gaps between thumbnails.

• New minimum system requirement is macOS 13.0 because current dev tools no longer ship with earlier SDKs.
