Thank you. That is an improvement. I'm unsure how accurate is using "time" from the command-line. On macOS on my system, it measures as ~.05s. In my use, that is a measurable increase that will affect UI updates. As my need is only macOS, maybe I can detect version number –*I need only to know it's using the updated viewer –, by checking for some existing file that's new with 4.x. Would you consider adding major version to a main json preference file? I haven't yet tried to figure out what will be potentially quickest (using Go) though I will try soon.
