Enframe

Image framing tool for setting focal points and crops with Lightroom integration.

Features

Implemented ✅

• Tauri v2 + SvelteKit 5 foundation (using native WebView, not Servo)
• SQLite database with schema (photos, frames, focal_points)
• Tauri plugins: sql, fs, dialog
• Database abstraction layer
• Photo browser UI
• Editor route structure
• Lightroom integration stubs

Planned

1. File import — drag-drop to add local JXL/JPEG files
2. Lightroom browser — read local library and import photos
3. Editor canvas — place focal points (draggable), draw crop frames (resizable)
4. Export — crop photos using Canvas API, save to disk, export metadata JSON

Architecture

• Frontend: SvelteKit 5 + Svelte 5 (runes)
• Backend: Tauri v2 (Rust)
• Database: SQLite via tauri-plugin-sql
• Image format: JXL (natively supported in macOS WebKit)

All coordinates stored as normalized 0-1 values for resolution independence.

📋 Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Bun (latest version) - Package manager and runtime
• Rust (latest stable) - Required for Tauri
• Node.js (v22.12+) - Fallback runtime support

Platform-Specific Requirements

Windows

• Microsoft C++ Build Tools or Visual Studio with C++ support

macOS

• Xcode Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install

Database Schema

• photos: imported images (local or from Lightroom)
• frames: crop rectangles on photos (x, y, width, height in 0-1)
• focal_points: important points that must stay visible (x, y in 0-1, with required flag)

Each frame can have its own focal points. Focal points with frame_id = NULL apply to the default (full-image) frame.
