This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration I implemented in v1.5.6. While moving to a more modular state management system was a huge step forward for the stability and future-proofing of RapidRAW, it inevitably introduced some edge cases and regressions in the library and editing pipelines. In this release, I have focused on smoothing out these new wrinkles, most notably by completely overhauling the library performance to ensure that browsing remains snappy after the refactoring. I have also resolved inconsistencies in the copy-paste workflow and am excited to expand our international reach by adding support for eight additional languages.
Following up on the initial German translation I introduced in v1.5.6, I have expanded the app's language support. RapidRAW now supports eight additional languages, which you can select directly within the settings menu:

Running on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android
RapidRAW is not yet code-signed, so Windows and macOS may show warnings when launching the app. On Linux, GPU driver differences require a default compatibility mode.
-
Windows: When launching the app, you may see a Windows Defender SmartScreen warning.
- Click "More info" → "Run anyway" to proceed.
-
macOS: You'll need to remove the quarantine flag after installation, otherwise macOS may report the app as corrupted:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/RapidRAW.app-
Linux: The app starts in compatibility mode by default to ensure stability across different GPU drivers and distributions.
- Disable compatibility mode in Settings to enable GPU acceleration.
