What's New in SMAWL

1.0.3

September 26, 2023

• Fixed: Crash issue when opening photos on iOS 17. • Fixed: Missing location data in converted images (applies only when location is manually edited in Photos). • Fixed: Import issue for DSLR RAW files in CR7 format; now correctly imports the full RAW data. • Fixed: Don't show the default export message when sharing the original RAW file. • Fixed: The default selected format is no longer RAW, and the last exported format (JPEG or HEIC) is remembered. • Improved: Favorited RAW files are exported with the "Favorite" flag. • Improved: Tap the export icon again to 'tap through' the initial export message and continue the saving process. • Miscellaneous improvements If you like SMAWL, please consider leaving an App Store review or rating—we’d really appreciate it! Every review counts and helps indie developers like ourselves. :) We’re here to help you, too: If you have a question or need assistance, you can always email us at support@tinrocket.com Thanks again!

Bonne idée a priori

Idée astucieuse : transformer des clichés pris en RAW en HEIC. Apple le permet mais sous macOS (via Photos en mode Export).
Mais peut-être manque-t-il une correction pour iOS 18.x, cela a fonctionné pour quelques clichés (transformation et suppression) avant de coincer.
De fait l’opération de réalise parfois sans être retournée sur iOS.
En résumé, on ne sait pas si l’opération a eu lieu et l’image RAW apparaît toujours dans l’album alors qu’elle a été réalisée dans le Cloud.
Ensuite, le rêve serait de choisir le profil chromatique associé à l’image transformée.
Bref, une app qui mériterait 5 étoiles si elle pouvait fonctionner sous iOS 18.5 en allant au bout de son processus (okay, je lui demande d’agir sur de grosses images, des RAW :-) et si, dans une prochaine version, elle permettait de choisir son espace chromatique (sRGB, adobe ou P3).
Pour l’heure, comme elle est inutilisable, que le support ne répond pas, je préfère arrêter les frais ici.
