Rain Explorer v1.1.0-Pre Changelog.

The first update after the initial pre-release — a big round of fixes plus a stack of new features, and the app is now fully self-contained (no .NET install needed).

#1 New Features

Custom sidebar lists — create your own Quick Access lists (e.g. "Quick access 2"), each with its own pinned folders. Right-click any section header → New list…, then rename or delete it from the same menu.
Collapsible sidebar sections — click any section header (Quick access, your custom lists, Drives) to collapse or expand it. Collapsed states are remembered.
Reorder pinned items by dragging — drag a pin up or down within its list to rearrange it, instead of unpinning and re-pinning.
Hide the Drives section — right-click the Drives header → Hide drives (re-enable it any time from Settings → Files → "Show drives in sidebar").
Permanent vs. Recycle Bin delete — deleting now lets you choose Recycle Bin or Delete permanently. A new setting (Settings → Files → "When deleting items") lets you always prompt, always recycle, or always delete permanently.
Remember activity — a new setting keeps the activity center log across restarts. Turn it off to have the log reset on every launch.
More archive formats — the built-in extractor now handles .rar, .7z, .tar, .gz, and .bz2 in addition to .zip.
Open a terminal from the address bar — click the address bar (or press Ctrl+L) and type cmd, powershell, pwsh, wt, bash, or explorer to open it in the current folder, just like the Windows Explorer address bar.
Ctrl+F search — jumps straight to the folder's search box; the toggle beside it switches between searching the current folder only or including subfolders.

#2 Improvements

Real file icons — files and folders now show their actual Windows icons (an app's own icon, registered file-type icons, the real folder icon) instead of generic glyphs. Executables finally show their own icon.
Cleaner sidebar footer — removed the cloud icon at the bottom-left and shifted the "Rain Explorer" text to the left.
The address bar continues to support click-to-edit, path autocomplete, and copying the current location.

#3 Bug Fixes

Fixed the activity center crash — opening the activity panel after deleting items no longer crashes the app. (The whole app also no longer hard-crashes on unexpected errors; they're logged and reported instead.)
Pinned items no longer reset on restart — a stricter-than-needed settings reader could silently wipe your pins (and other settings) back to defaults if the settings file was even slightly off. The reader is now tolerant, and a damaged file is preserved instead of overwritten.
Double-clicking a folder no longer selects a stray item — opening a folder used to leave a random item near the cursor selected in the new folder.

#4 Packaging

Self-contained installer — the .NET runtime is now bundled with the app, so it installs and runs on any compatible Windows machine without needing .NET installed.

Version bumped to 1.1.0-Pre.
