To update: download the archive, unzip it, then replace the GifStack.lrplugin folder where you stored it. Restart Lightroom: the entry already listed in the Plug-in Manager picks up the new version, with nothing to add or re-enable.
The preview no longer slows down or crashes Lightroom, even when left running for a long time (Mac).
Download GifStack.zip, unzip it, then replace your existing GifStack.lrplugin folder. In Lightroom: File ▸ Plug-in Manager ▸ GifStack ▸ Reload Plug-in. Your settings and your licence are kept.
1.3.6 — Fixed a preview freeze with some photos.
1.3.5 — Better troubleshooting when Lightroom closes unexpectedly.
1.3.4 — The preview now reflects every edit. If you closed the window to edit a photo in Develop, the preview could still show the old version when you came back. This affected masking, brush, healing and tone curve edits — exposure or contrast changes were already picked up.
1.3.3 — Preview and notifications. Recomputing thumbnails on cropped bursts now happens only once, instead of on every setting you touched. New versions are now announced directly in the creation window.
1.3.2 — MP4. Fixes a failure on some Macs, Intel ones especially, where the video stopped just short of the end of the progress bar while GIFs came out normally.
1.3.0 — Memory and speed. Preview thumbnails are now kept from one session to the next: reopening GifStack on the same selection no longer makes Lightroom develop every raw again. Settings are also remembered per sequence, and can be applied to every burst at once.
1.2.0 — Windows, and a faster export. GifStack runs in Lightroom Classic for Windows. Export was made faster (palette and stabilisation), and every burst now goes through a single export session. The window also adapts to laptop screens.
