Thumbnails and faces when an external drive is disconnected
Asked 29 Oct 2026 · shipped 30 Oct 2026 · FolioSort 5.0.12 beta (Mac)
The request
For my work, being able to see thumbnails even when the drives are disconnected is extremely important. Facial recognition and the ability to find specific athletes across all my photo archives are also essential features.
The Library now keeps previews and face portraits for photos on drives that are not connected, so a photographer with many external SSDs can browse and search everything.
What they said after
Overall, the new offline previews are already a major improvement. Thank you for listening to my feedback and implementing this feature so quickly!

The request
I purchased your photo sorter pro and while it does work really well for pictures, I am having a heck of a time sorting and keeping live pictures together.

Though the app is completely offline acts so fast,* and it is the best part of it, but I wish a lot many improvements in UI and photo picker, because, there are no faster preview options and easier hover or ctrl click and faster selection options, it seems a lot of manual work still, I would be more than happy enough, if it seems to bring a lot of more automation and DAM software like picker windows/panels into it.

The one thing I really wanted in the app was a small "i" or "!" next to some of the functions to further explain what they'd do. That could be either a hover over pop up, or a link to documentation. Having said that, the non-destructive nature takes a lot of stress out of things!
