Supercharge Lightroom
with AI Tagging

Released April 5, 2026 - Fixed "llava:latest not found" error on fresh installs.

• Ollama Default Model Bug: Removed the hard-coded llava:latest default. Users with fresh installs or who had never opened Plugin Manager were getting "Model 'llava:latest' not found" even after selecting a different model (e.g., gemma3:4b). The plugin now handles an unconfigured model gracefully and shows a clear message directing you to Plugin Manager to select one.

Released April 5, 2026 - Ollama now queries your server for installed models instead of showing a fixed list.

• Dynamic Ollama Model List: The plugin automatically queries your locally running Ollama server at startup to populate the model dropdown with your actually installed models.
• Refresh Button: Re-query the server at any time after running ollama pull <model> to pick up newly installed models.
• Manual Model Entry: A new "Enter model name manually" checkbox reveals a text field for typing any model name (e.g., gemma4:e4b) — useful for newly released or custom models. Previously saved custom models are automatically detected and pre-filled.

Released March 2, 2026 - Corrected Gemini 3.1 Pro model identifier

• Gemini 3.1 Pro Model: Corrected model name and ID from gemini-3-pro-preview to gemini-3.1-pro-preview to match Google's actual model identifier.

Released February 24, 2026 - Fix for GPS location data being ignored by AI

• GPS Location Accuracy: When GPS coordinates or IPTC location metadata are included in AI analysis, the AI now uses them as the authoritative location source instead of guessing from visual content alone. This fixes cases where the AI identified a visually similar but geographically incorrect location.

Released February 15, 2026 - Bug fix with model selection in Ollama

• Fixed a bug with model selection in Ollama.

Released February 14, 2026 - Fixed Ollama thinking models, 25-photo batch limit, and added configurable thumbnail resolution.

• Ollama Thinking Models Fixed: qwen3-vl, llama3.2-vision, and other thinking models now return proper results instead of empty responses. Token budget increased from 1000 to 4096 with automatic <think> tag stripping.
• 25-Photo Limit Fixed: Selecting more than 25 photos now processes all of them. Thumbnail requests are batched to avoid overwhelming Lightroom's async system.
• Configurable Thumbnail Resolution: New slider in Plugin Manager (400-2400px) to control the resolution of thumbnails sent to AI for analysis. Higher = more detail, lower = faster processing.
• Fuji RAW Support: Added .RAF file detection for proper thumbnail sizing.
• Enhanced Diagnostics: Better logging for Ollama response debugging, including thinking field detection and token exhaustion warnings.

Released February 12, 2026 - 11 bug fixes, keyword limits raised to 75, scrollable results dialog, and shared AI parsing module.

• Keyword Truncation Fix: Fixed critical bug where only 25-27 of 50+ AI-generated keywords were written to IPTC metadata.
• Keyword Limits Raised: Maximum AI keywords and display slots increased from 25/30 to 75/75, supporting professional workflows.
• Scrollable Results: AI results panel now scrolls, keeping action buttons visible even with 50+ keywords.
• Batch Processing Crash Fix: Fixed gmatch crash when OpenAI returns keywords as arrays instead of strings.
• 11 Bug Fixes: Fixed sparse array issues, nil crashes in Ollama/Gemini/OpenAI, CSV export file leak, photo navigator crash, and more.
• Shared AI Module: New AICommon.lua consolidates response parsing across all three providers, eliminating ~300 lines of duplicate code.

Released February 12, 2026 - Fixed empty fields when using newer Ollama vision models.

• Structured Content Parsing: Fixed empty results when Ollama models return structured content arrays instead of plain text strings.
• Broader Model Support: Improved compatibility with Qwen3-VL, Llama 3.2 Vision, Gemma 3, and other newer vision models.

• UI Text Fix: Help text now wraps properly in the Plugin Manager window instead of being truncated.

Released February 11, 2026 - Updated Ollama vision models and fixed model detection bug.

• Model Detection Fix: Fixed bug where models with hyphens in their names (e.g., llava-llama3) failed connection tests due to Lua pattern matching issue.

Released February 11, 2026 - Added Czech language support and fixed OpenAI keywords crash.

• Czech Language Support: Added Czech (Čeština) as a new AI response language with full UI translation.
• OpenAI Keywords Crash Fix: Fixed crash when OpenAI returns keywords as a JSON array instead of a comma-separated string.

Released February 11, 2026 - Fixed remaining freeze caused by missing thumbnail counter decrement.

• Thumbnail Pending Counter Fix: Fixed missing counter decrement when 200x200 fallback thumbnail succeeded, which caused the plugin to hang indefinitely.
• Safety Timeout: Added 60-second timeout to thumbnail collection phase to prevent infinite hangs.
• Diagnostic Logging: Added periodic warning logs during thumbnail wait showing how many thumbnails are still pending.

Released February 10, 2026 - Fixed critical freezing issue caused by oversized thumbnails.

• Freezing Fix: Resolved critical freezing issue that occurred before sending data to AI providers.

• Progressive Size Reduction: Automatically regenerates oversized thumbnails at smaller dimensions (400×400 → 200×200 → 100×100).
• Universal Retry Logic: Size reduction now applies to ALL file types, including PSD and heavily edited RAW files.
• Improved Performance: Smoother processing with no UI freezes during thumbnail generation.

Released January 28, 2026 - Added user configuration for AI-generated keyword count and UI display limits.

• AI Keyword Count: Configure how many keywords the AI should generate (5-25, default: 12).
• UI Display Limit: Set the number of keyword checkboxes in results dialog (5-30, default: 10).
