QuickView v6.22.3 - RAW+JPEG Folding, Interactive Minimap, Loupe & Performance Boost Release Date: 2026-07-17 Important Introducing Pre-release Update Channel Starting from this version, we have introduced a new Pre-release update channel. You can now toggle this option in the Settings menu. By switching to the Pre-release channel, you will receive our latest bleeding-edge updates first, allowing you to help us test new features and provide early feedback. To ensure software stability, public Stable versions will be released shortly after a Pre-release version has undergone a testing period without any new bug reports. Welcome to QuickView v6.22.3! This release introduces highly requested features designed to declutter your photo-culling workflow, check image sharpness with ease, and experience a massive speed boost when viewing large images. 📸 Clean Up Your Gallery: RAW+JPEG Pairing & Folding (#201) Contributed by Zhou Ying (@Zorange) If you shoot in RAW+JPEG dual formats, your gallery can quickly get cluttered with duplicate images. This version introduces smart folding to keep your workspace clean.

• Unified Photo Grid: Automatically folds same-name RAW and JPEG (or other rendered) images into a single item in the gallery. No more duplicates!
• How to Enable: This feature is disabled by default. Go to Settings > Image and check the option to enable RAW+JPEG pairing.
• Instantly Swap Formats: Once enabled, you can quickly swap the visible layer of a photo to its RAW file by pressing the RAW toggle button on the toolbar or using your custom shortcut.
• Side-by-Side Comparison: Want to see how the camera's JPEG processing compares to the RAW sensor data? Press Shift + C to compare the two components of a paired image side-by-side.
• Flexible Deletion: When you delete a folded pair, QuickView will ask if you want to delete only the JPEG, only the RAW file, or both together. 🔍 Check Focus Instantly: Detail Loupe (#201, #216) Contributed by Zhou Ying (@Zorange) & Core Team A precision tool built specifically for photographers to cull photos and quickly check sharpness.
• Press-and-Hold Magnifier: When an image is zoomed out (smaller than its original size), simply press and hold the L key (customizable) to pop up a local magnifier showing the pixels under your cursor at 100% size. Release the key to hide it instantly.
• Live Resize: Need a larger inspection window? While holding down the L key, scroll your mouse wheel to dynamically resize the magnifier box.
• Synced Comparison: When comparing two images side-by-side, activating the Loupe will magnify the exact same area on both panes simultaneously.
• Visual Options: Customize your magnifier's shape (Circle or Square) and enjoy a high-contrast border that makes it easy to spot even on dark photos. 🗺️ Navigate Large Images: Interactive Minimap (#215, #216)
• Navigator Map: When you zoom deep into an image, a miniature overview map will appear in the top corner of the screen.
• Drag-to-Pan: Simply click and drag the highlighted viewport box inside the Minimap to quickly slide and pan across different sections of your image, eliminating the need for tedious manual scrolling.
• Improved UI: Added high-contrast borders and a soft shadow under the close button to ensure the Minimap remains legible on any image background. 🔄 Safer File Actions & Multi-Level Undo (#216)
• Mistake-Friendly Actions: You can now undo file renaming, image rotations, and mirror flips.
• Recycle Bin Confirmation: Added a setting to toggle the Recycle Bin delete confirmation prompt on or off.
• Gallery Deletion: Right-click any thumbnail directly in the filmstrip gallery to delete the file immediately. 🎨 Better Colors & Photoshop PSD/PSB Support (#214, #144)
• Flawless PSD/PSB View: Completely fixed transparency bugs when viewing Photoshop PSD/PSB files. Say goodbye to weird color noise or background grid leaks (#214).
• Accurate Colors: Upgraded color profile management to read modern multi-language color profiles (#144). QuickView now accurately displays the native bit-depth and color gamut of AVIF, JXL, and RAW files without losing fidelity. ⚡ Blazing Fast Speeds & Smoother Animations (#206, #212, #205, #144, #209, #202)
• Turbocharged RAW Loading: Rewrote the core image decoding loop to leverage modern processor instructions. Loading RAW files from high-end cameras is now up to several times faster.
• Low Memory Usage: Loading very large TIFF images now consumes significantly less memory (#206).
• Stutter-Free Gallery: Fixed an issue where the filmstrip gallery would stutter or freeze during slideshows (#201). Transitions and auto-scrolling are now butter-smooth.
• System Integration: Fixed taskbar title truncation bugs (#202) and resolved hotkey conflicts when typing with input methods (IME) (#209).
• Dynamic Localization: Resolves Japanese fallback glyph issues on non-English locales (#212).
• Russian Translation Update: Contributed by Dmitry Yerokhin (@Dimmitrius) (#205). ❤️ Special Thanks This release wouldn't be possible without our amazing contributors:
• Zhou Ying (@Zorange) for designing and implementing the RAW+JPEG folding system, the detail Loupe, and standardizing extension classifications.
• Dmitry Yerokhin (@Dimmitrius) for updating and correcting the Russian localizations.
