LRTimelapse Pro 6.1.2 + Portable + MacOS + Repack

I’m really sorry to have to release another update only one week after the last one.
The reason is that I finally could find the reason for some nasty Visual Preview timeouts after returning from Lightroom that some of you were experiencing since version 6.1. Unfortunately it was very difficult for me to analyze and reproduce, that’s why it took quite long to find and fix this. I thought, it would be better to release this update asap instead of waiting and possibly causing more trouble with this for some of you.

Here is what’s changed in this Bugfix-Release:

Fix: Visual previews sometimes caused timeouts after returning from Lightroom. This annoying issue was unfortunately introduced with 6.1, please update asap to avoid it.
Fix: Metadata / Exiftool error when writing orientation into the intermediaries that the internal export generates.
Fix: Folder move sometimes failed without giving an error.
Fix: For fresh sequences without any edits, a MASKS_1 snapshot was generated, this won’t happen anymore.

Added a new Sync-Script for “Gradients Only” – this will sync only the edited gradients, but preserve the LRTimelapse compensations. All other tools but the gradients can be selectively synced with the native Lightroom Sync tool. Thanks to Charlie Tennessen for implementing this. For more details see this forum post.
Reload will now restore any Holy Grail or Deflicker adjustments should they have been altered while editing (for example because someone worked with Adobe Camera Raw and couldn’t use the Sync-Script). See this forum post for more details.
Render Preview Video could not be launched from the main menu – fixed.
Updated ExifTool.

Improvements:
- The importer will now skip .dat index files which for example the Nikon Z7 and Z6 create instead of putting them into a “MISC” folder.
- In “Visual Preview” mode the keyframe indicators in the preview sometimes were hardly visible. The keyframes are now being displayed more opaque, just like in the camera previews mode.
- Improved visibility for the visual-preview-creationstatus bar (below the visual previews) on high-dpi displays.
- Normally, for sequences shot in A-Mode, the Holy Grail Wizard is deactivated, because such sequences normally come rather smooth from the camera (most cameras do smoothing in A-Mode, but still write discrete values into EXIF). In such cases the HG-Wizard would do more harm than good, because it would calculate compensations for “steps” that are not there.
- However, there seem to be cameras that do not smooth in A-Mode, therefore I’ve added a Button to the Keyframes-Wizard which will allow to force the Holy Grail Keyframe creation. The button will only appear for sequences shot in A-Mode.
- Redesigned the plus/minus buttons next to the slider controls.
- Added Alt-Q as additional shortcut to exit the application.
- Added a “Delete Holy Grail adjustments” button to the toolbar above the table next to “Delete Deflicker” to delete the holy grail adjustments, if necessary.
- Any parameter of the LRTimelapse user.props file can now be passed as commandline parameter. To have define a certain start path for example, you could launch LRTimelapse with
- LRTimelapse(.exe) path=C:\temp. You can also pass multiple parameters: for example to have LRTimelapse launch at the top left corner of your screen, regardless on how you left off, just use LRTimelapse screenposx1=0 screenposx2=0. Please note, that you might have to use quotation marks, like LRTimelapse "C:\temp", depending on your platform and starting method.
- Increased the range for the Rotate slider in the Holy Grail Wizard.

Fixes:
- Sometimes LRTimelapse did not start with the folder tree at the position where it was closed. Fixed.
- Creating a new folder from the import dialog did not refresh the folder tree, fixed.
- With an UI Scaling of 2.0, the Keyframes Wizard was cut at the bottom, fixed.
