Tusk 1.0.0

Tusk v1.0.0 Release Notes

Welcome to the first official release of Tusk — a smarter way to back up your video footage on macOS. This release brings cloud backup support, smarter camera detection, and a more reliable backup engine under the hood.

---

✨ Features

• Dropbox backup destination — Connect your Dropbox account via OAuth and use it as a cloud backup destination, with verified transfers and saved credentials.

• Camera media detection — When you plug in an SD card or camera volume, Tusk will prompt you to offload footage automatically. Plain SSDs and USB drives won't trigger the prompt.

• Empty folder syncing — Project folder structures are now mirrored to local and Google Drive destinations, keeping your working directory in sync — even when folders are empty.

---

🐛 Fixes

• Google Drive — Fixed duplicate project folders caused by creation races, corrected folder nesting under the project root, recovered stale file IDs, and resolved issues with files left in the trash.

• Backup drive disconnection — Tusk no longer shows false "folder missing" errors or spins up unnecessary backup jobs when a drive is unplugged mid-session.

• Spurious operations — Fixed unwanted verify and redistribute steps being triggered after ingest, rename, and restore actions.

• Stability — Resolved a crash that could occur when update or notification events fired after the main window had already closed.

🔧 Improvements

• Faster startup — License verification now happens in the background, so the app is ready immediately instead of waiting on a network check.

• Cleaner settings — The "Backup with Tusk" Finder option is now a toggle, consistent with the rest of General Settings.

• Update safety — Users on beta builds will no longer be auto-updated across a major version boundary. Instead, you'll see a one-time notification linking to these release notes.

• Dropbox permissions — Updated Dropbox scopes to ensure reliable access for backup and restore operations.
