LRTimelapse 6.5.2 released

Hey guys,

I’ve just released LRTimelapse 6.5.2 which brings some improvements and fixes.

This is new in 6.5.2

• Feature: Added detection for corrupt JPG files when loading a sequence. The user will get a message dialog offering to automatically move those to a folder with suffix “Corrupted”. This is especially useful for long term shooters where cameras are known for producing corruted images from time to time.
• Improvement: Mac Launcher: “Alive” semaphore file will now be created in /private/tmp/LRTimelapse_running – this prevents it from being synched to iCloud twice a second while LRTimelapse is running for users that have their Documents folder synched to the cloud.
• Improvement: Detect if the user tries to load a restricted parent folder like Workgroup, Libraries, Network, /, /Users or /Volumes and defer loading instead of displaying an error message. LRTimelapse will also not try to load such folders again after a restart.
• Improvement: added specific error message from the log to the error dialog that appears when the video rendering fails.
• Improvement: added specific error message to the error dialog that appears when the temp folder is not accessible.
• Fix: Windows Launcher: Avoid “Assistive Technology not found” error in some constellations where older Java versions were installed and not fully removed from a windows PC.
• Fix: A “Comma” in the path or foldername would break loading of exif data.
• Fix: When rendering from an intermediary sequence with non standard filenames (unlike LRT_00001.ext etc.), path names containing an apostrophe would make the renderer fail.

The update should happen automatically via the auto updater, if not, you can download it from the download page and install manually.

By the way: do you have any ideas for new features that you would like to see in an next LRTimelapse version? Please let me know in the feature request forum!

Thanks and have a great time,
Gunther
