AutoAD Suite v2.0: Modular Architecture, Bulk Renamer & Smart Export Manager

Welcome to AutoAD Suite v2.0!

This major release transforms AutoAD from a single-function application into a fully modular multi-app suite with a completely redesigned modern interface. We've rebuilt the core architecture from the ground up to support more tools, enhance rendering stability, and improve your automated video workflow.

What's New

• The New "Hub" Interface: A centralized dashboard (hub_window) now acts as the main router, seamlessly switching between different utility applications.
• Modular App Architecture: Applications and their UI components are now isolated in their own modules, making the codebase cleaner and highly scalable for future tools.
• New Tool - Bulk Renamer 🏷️: A dedicated new application to bulk rename files in any directory. It features a live preview system, customizable prefixes/suffixes, sequential numbering, and search & replace capabilities!

Content Assembler Enhancements

• Smart Overwrite Behaviors: We've introduced a powerful file conflict manager. When exporting, you can now choose to Ask, Overwrite, Skip, or Rename. The "Rename" option smartly increments file names using the native Windows format (e.g., (1), (2)).
• New Naming Engine: The render manager now automatically formats output files using a unified and clean structure: [AD_{num}] {hook}{body_a}{body_b}...{cta}.
• Refined UI Panels: The Assembler app UI was completely decoupled. Settings, queues, outputs, and the render process are now neatly organized inside their own modular components.

Architecture & Under the Hood

• Upgraded to an advanced RenderManager pipeline with a visual render queue and better FFmpeg job handling.
• Moved core rendering components into apps/assembler and improved inter-app state management.
• Added stubs and placeholders for upcoming suite tools (Video Resizer, Subtitle Studio, Audio Toolkit, and Watermarker).
• Updated pyinstaller spec files (AutoAD Suite.spec) to build the entire suite into a single optimized standalone executable.

Bug Fixes & UX Improvements

• Addressed UnboundLocalError and TypeError issues during batch rendering conflicts.
• Fixed alignment and variation selector bugs in sidebar icons.
• Future "Placeholder" modules are now beautifully darkened in the sidebar so you know what's active and what's coming soon.
