Full Changelog: v1.15...v1.2

What's New

  • Intelligent Folder Handling
    A new dialog now appears when you drop folders, giving you the choice to Move As-Is (preserving the folder structure) or Merge Contents (the classic behavior). This provides crucial flexibility for complex project onboarding.

  • Complete In-App File Management
    The right-click context menu has been supercharged, turning the file tree into a true command center. You can now:

    • Move To...: Instantly reorganize any file or folder to a different PARA category (Projects, Areas, etc.) via a clean submenu.
    • Create New: Create new folders and files (e.g., notes.md, report.docx) directly within any directory.
    • Copy File Path: A new option to instantly copy the full path of any item to your clipboard.
  • Full Search Result Pagination
    You are no longer limited to the first page of search results. The search view now includes Previous and Next buttons, along with a status label (Page 2 of 15), giving you access to every single matching file.

  • Deep Visual Customization
    Personalize the application's look and feel like never before:

    • Custom Category Icons: In Settings, you can now change the icon for each PARA category. Choose from your own local image files or select from a vast gallery of built-in system icons.
    • Dynamic Background Theme: The file tree now features a large, faint background icon that subtly changes to reflect the PARA category you are currently Browse, providing beautiful and constant visual context.

🎨 Improvements & Refinements

  • Rich & Detailed Search Results
    The search results view has been transformed from a simple list into a detailed information panel. Each result now includes:

    • File Type Icons: Quickly identify files like documents, images, and folders at a glance.
    • Essential Metadata: See the file's size, last modified date, and creation date directly in the search results.
    • Consistent Path Display: All path separators are now visually represented with a for a cleaner, more readable hierarchy.
  • Adaptive File Size Formatting
    File sizes are now displayed intelligently, automatically formatting to the most appropriate unit (B, KB, MB, GB, etc.) to be more human-readable.

  • Polished & Stable UI

    • The top bar layout has been fixed to permanently anchor the search bar to the left and control buttons to the right, regardless of window size.
    • The search bar is now wider and features a blue border "focus" effect when clicked.
  • Robust Crash Handling
    The application is now significantly more stable. A new global error handler prevents silent crashes ("闪退"). If a critical error does occur, a detailed, styled dialog will now appear, allowing you to copy the error information easily.

  • Permanent PARA Structure
    The four core folders (1_Projects, 2_Areas, etc.) are now protected and will never be accidentally deleted by the app's "empty folder cleanup" logic.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Core Search Functionality Restored: The main search feature, which was not returning results in a previous version, has been completely fixed and is now powered by a more performant debouncing mechanism to prevent UI lag while typing.
  • Context Menu Fixed: The right-click menu now works reliably in all views, including the file tree and the search results list.
  • Application Stability: Fixed numerous AttributeError and NameError bugs related to new features, ensuring dialogs and background processes run correctly.
