Redesigned Inspector & Improved Metadata Management

Version 1.9 brings a completely redesigned inspector sidebar with refined tabbed navigation, enhanced metadata display, and a dedicated Photo tab for clearer image pairing workflow, alongside critical fixes for Lightroom TIFF compatibility.

Modernized Inspector with Dedicated Photo Tab

The inspector sidebar has been completely redesigned with a more polished, modern interface that's easier to scan and navigate. The four-tab structure now clearly separates concerns: Info for frame metadata, Location for geographic data, Notes for annotations, and the new Photo tab dedicated exclusively to image pairing.

Previously, photo pairing lived within the Info tab, which could cause confusion. Now each tab has a singular, well-defined purpose, making the workflow more intuitive while keeping all tools readily accessible.

• Tabbed Navigation: Info, Location, Notes, and Photo tabs provide clear separation of metadata categories for faster navigation.
• Dedicated Photo Tab: Image pairing now has its own space, displaying detailed technical information like dimensions, file format, size, and digitization timestamps.
• Collapsible Sections: Customize your workspace by collapsing sections you don't actively need, reducing visual clutter while maintaining quick access.

Expanded Metadata Display

The redesigned inspector surfaces more technical metadata than ever before. Photographers can now view Sensitivity Type, camera and lens serial numbers, image digitization timestamps, and additional EXIF fields that were previously hidden. This deeper visibility helps with cataloging, verifying paired images, and maintaining comprehensive records of your analog photography workflow from capture through digitization.

Hebrew, Arabic, Romanian & Ukrainian Language Support

Frames continues its mission to serve analog photographers worldwide with this significant localization update, bringing native support for Hebrew, Arabic, Romanian, and Ukrainian speakers, alongside refined translations and interface improvements throughout the entire app.

Four New Languages with Right-to-Left Support

Frames now supports Hebrew, Arabic, Romanian, and Ukrainian, each carefully localized to respect cultural nuances and photography terminology. Hebrew and Arabic include full right-to-left interface adaptation. Navigation flows, button placement, and text alignment all mirror appropriately while preserving technical terms like film stock codes and aperture values in their standard international format.

• Hebrew (עברית) & Arabic (العربية): Complete RTL interface with native terminology for film stocks, camera settings, and EXIF metadata.
• Romanian (Română) & Ukrainian (Українська): Full translations supporting photographers documenting their work in their native language.

Translation Refinements Across All Languages

Beyond new languages, we've refined existing translations throughout the app based on feedback from photographers. Film stock names remain in their original language (Kodak Portra, Ilford HP5), while interface elements adapt to your chosen language. Language preferences sync across devices, and all existing data automatically displays in your selected language without re-entry or migration.

Eight New Languages Across Europe and Asia

Frames now supports Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Vietnamese, Traditional Chinese, Indonesian, Hong Kong Chinese, and Greek. Each translation has been carefully crafted to ensure film photography terminology feels natural while maintaining technical accuracy for camera settings, film stocks, and metadata management.

• Asian Languages: Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), Traditional Chinese (繁體中文), Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), and Hong Kong Chinese.

Regional Preferences and Translation Refinements

For Traditional Chinese and Hong Kong Chinese, we've adapted regional preferences for date formats and terminology. The Nordic languages align with how film photographers in these countries discuss their craft. We've also refined existing translations across Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, Polish, Turkish, Swedish, and Hindi based on community feedback.
