Jan 31 2026: APP 2.0.0-beta40 will soon be released with many fixes especially for Linux, upgraded development platform and 10-20% performance boost !
Jan 15 2026: FIXED LICENSE SERVER VPN Tunnel issue
The issue could have prevented APP to start when using a VPN tunnel or another complicated network configuration, like using APP on a remote computer on a different continent. This issue is fixed now and APP should start normally.
Jan 04 2026: Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version. Unfortunately, Mabula was struck by a severe flu virus in the past couple of weeks and thus could not work. He is getting much better now and he has resumed work to release 2.0.0 as soon as possible. Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Nov 28 2025: APP 2.0.0-beta39 has been released !
hello
I have just installed the new version 1.083
I have not changed my computer nor my windows version
I can't load my raw files from my canon APN
File that I have already loaded with the old version
it puts the following error
LibRaw 2021-10 snapshot can't open/read this file...
thank's for your help
I found the solution it is a problem of path length in the hard disk my path is as follows:
J:\020-Mes Photos sur télescope\0030 Messier\M16 Nébuleuse de l'aigle S\2020-07-17 T\Dark\IMG_0841.CR2
I copied the directory 2020-07-17 T on the root now that works
thank you to inform me if it is not that
Hi Jean-Luc @jl-gozzi,
Thank you for sharing the issue. We are aware of it and are working to fix it.
The new libraw version broke character encoding on the windows platform which means that you can only load your raws if there only regular alphabet characters in the filepath and filename. So in your case, the problem is caused by the é characters and maybe even the ' .
I wil make sure that there will be fixed version soon available for download 😉

Hello Mabula
I just tested it, I removed the "é" and it works perfectly.
For your information I left the apostrophe " ' " and it works perfectly.
Thank you for your quick reply.
Sincerely

Excellent @jl-gozzi,
I will make sure that it will soon work with non-alphabet characters as well again.
