Version 2.2.5.2 Update highly recommended, especially if you are using image recognition
Odd behaviours or crashes? Feature requests? Questions? Please let me know.
1. Features
•	A new program called Timelapse-ViewOnly.exe is included in the Timelapse folder. This is actually a ‘helper’ program that starts Timelapse in a mode where people can view but not alter any data. Its useful if you want to handoff your processed image set to others to view, but don’t want them to change anything in it.
2. Important update to using image recognition
•	If you are using Megadetector, this version accounts for changes in the upcoming new Megadetector release. In particular, Megadetector confidence values are set differently, where the threshold of what should be considered ‘mostly correct’ recognitions are quite different. New json file will include values that estimate these thresholds. Timelapse uses those values to calculate and provide reasonable default confidence ranges in the Select dialog, and the default threshold for showing bounding boxes around recognitions. If those values are missing, defaults reflecting the old Megadetector versions are used. See the updated Image Recognition Guide for details, especially page 7
3. Bug fixes and behind the scenes
•	For various reasons, Timelapse does not allow Templates to be opened if they are located in either a drive’s root folder (e.g., D: ), or in a system or hidden folder.  Informative messages are now displayed if someone tries this.
•	Fixed issue with Custom select when selecting image recognition files with ‘Include all files in an episode’ checked.  
•	Software updated to use the .Net Framework 4.8
4.	If you have not previously updated to Version 2.2.5.0, 
•	read the version 2.2.5.0 section in the link below for changes that may affect backwards compatibility.

Coming soon: Important changes to Timelapse that will affect you 
I am in the process of updating the Timelapse internals to make it more efficient. The downside is that these changes means that you will have to do a bit of extra work if you want to open your existing template (.tdb) and database (.ddb) files. Details will be provided with the release.
•	A program will be included to easily translate your .tdb and .ddb files into the new format .tsql and .dsql files. 
•	While your data will be preserved, a few data columns will be affected. For example, ImageQuality will be renamed to a new ‘Dark’ column containing true/false values, and the Folder column will be removed.
•	Previously exported .csv files are also affected, mostly by column name changes. You may have to revise those .csv files, or your analysis programs that read in those .csv files. We anticipate that these changes will be straight-forward. 
If you foresee any problems, let me know ASAP so I can help smooth out this transition to the new file format.
