Imaging Console 2 — Rapid Transfer Debuts, Ready for iOS 27 ! This is a major update. Imaging Console now not only controls cameras but also brings a powerful new file transfer workflow: select photos right on the camera and let them quickly arrive in Imaging Console. - New “Rapid Transfer”: When you play back photos on the camera and mark your favorites as protected, they are automatically imported into Imaging Console. - Supports JPEG/HEIF, NEF, as well as MOV, MP4, NEV, and R3D. - Files can be saved to Imaging Console Gallery, System Photos, Files & custom folders. - Real-time transfer progress: percentage, speed, and processing count — with support for canceling, retrying, and manual refresh. - Manual refresh can search for existing protected files on the camera, with the option to import only new ones or re-import everything. - Supports attaching GPS, IPTC, and copyright info during import, with separate IPTC and copyright template management. - The former “Single Camera” page is renamed to “Control”. When Rapid Transfer is enabled, the camera connection will focus on file listening and transfer. - Optimized camera file protection status refresh, file cache management, import error prompts, and overall UI. - Imaging Console Lite Plus now also supports Rapid Transfer. Other updates: - Improved the overall UI — more beautiful and more pleasing to the eye (with a little surprise). - Improved connection stability, significantly extending background keep‑alive time for wireless connections such as camera hotspots. - Significantly improved Live Activities and Dynamic Island display. - Improved in‑camera file download progress display, with detailed progress view and precise control over each file download. - Improved in‑camera file badges, adding a “downloaded” file indicator. - Optimized GPS attachment option logic. - Improved Gallery photo editing features, fixing incorrect HDR image color mapping. - Improved watermark feature, adding custom icon management. - Added GPS info to the file preview page, with direct link to maps. - Added “Feedback & Suggestions” under Settings → About, allowing you to send feedback directly to the VisualMine team. - Added “Sync Location Now” option in the top‑right menu of the Control page. - Added option to enable/hide the "Group" feature. - Other bug fixes and optimizations.
