Portrait fix + settings gear + version

build b039d9c · 2026-07-17 · pushed 2026-07-17 19:05 -07:00

  • PORTRAIT ORIENTATION FIX — the sideways/stretched image in portrait should now be upright and correct on both cameras (front is selfie-mirrored). Please verify — this needs your eyes.
  • Settings is now a GEAR icon instead of the easy-to-miss "More" word — that is where Rotation (try Rewrite!), Source, compositing, completion & smoothing live.
  • In-app build version now shown at the bottom of the settings panel, so you can always confirm which build you are on (it matches the build hash on this page).
  • If portrait still looks wrong, the diagnostic is: adb logcat -s TimefieldProcessor

Milestone 4a — Instrument dynamics

build 0bb86d6 · 2026-07-17 · pushed 2026-07-17 18:03 -07:00

  • Blend modes: alpha, lighten, darken, difference (they act across passes — pair with Loop or Ping-pong)
  • Change speed and slit width live, mid-scan
  • Completion behaviors: reverse, ping-pong, loop-repeat
  • Inward collapse mode (fronts meet at the centre)
  • Rotation options: Rewrite (fronts continue, no jump) and Wedge-fill
  • Optional smoothing to soften live changes
  • Stop button + a collapsible parameter panel (More)

Milestone 3 — Capture

build 1ebf5f2 · 2026-07-17 · pushed 2026-07-17 ~14:15 PDT

  • Record video to Movies/Timefield (on-screen UI is not in the recording)
  • Front / rear camera switch
  • Tap to focus
  • Exposure (EV) slider
  • A finished scan survives camera switch/backgrounding so you can still save it

build 0a8cf3b · 2026-07-17 · pushed 2026-07-17 ~12:31 PDT

  • Outward scan from a draggable/rotatable line
