What the app stores

Lightbox keeps its data on your own disks: the list of folders you track and your view settings on your Mac, and a hidden .thumbnails folder beside your images with their previews, an index, the folder's ID and your stars.

What it does online

About fifteen seconds after it opens, and when you choose Check for Updates…, Lightbox checksdownloads.reimaginedworks.com for a newer version. When there is one, it downloads it from there and asks before installing it. Release Notes in the About window reads the notes from the same place, and Website and Support open this site in your browser.
