In additional to a host of bug fixes this release includes a brand new onboarding flow to help new users start using Take Stock. It guides users through creating their first camera, lens, & film stock as well as importing over thirty common film stocks to get started. There are also now toolbar buttons for actions like copying the scan name, importing photos, and writing metadata.
Finally there are a number of visual improvements throughout the app. The aperture format style and viewer background can be customized from Preferences, the ISO format is consistent without a comma, and lens selection in the Camera Sidebar has been fixed.
P.S. Take Stock now has its own Mastodon account, give it a follow for updates and behind-the-scenes on development.
