Version 12.0 - 28.06.2026r
Czkawka GTK Deprecation Notice
Version 12.0 is the last released version of Czkawka GTK. No new binaries will be provided from this point on. All users are encouraged to migrate to Krokiet, the new Slint-based GUI frontend.
The source code remains in the repository and compatibility with czkawka_core will be maintained for some time so the application can still be built manually. However, all issues and feature requests specific to Czkawka GTK will be closed, except for critical problems affecting widely used unofficial builds such as Debian or Docker packages.
Breaking changes
Users
- Due to changes in the broken files mode, which now supports multiple checkers and includes additional checks, the file type is no longer stored in the cache. Existing cache files are incompatible with this version and will be automatically regenerated
- The prehash method has been updated, so cached hash is no longer valid, so it will be automatically regenerated
- Similar images cache files are incompatible with this version due to geometric invariance support and will be automatically regenerated
- Similar videos cache files are incompatible with this version due to the switch to a new visual matching engine and will be automatically regenerated
- The --crop-detect CLI option for similar videos now accepts true/false instead of none/letterbox/motion - the motion mode has been removed
