v1.3.3 — UI Polish & Navigation Overhaul

What's new in v1.3.3

Navigation & Layout

• Floating app bar on Gallery and Albums — content now scrolls visibly underneath with a gradient fade, matching the bottom pill bar style
• Segmented pill control replaces the separate tab buttons — a single dark toggle between All and Album views, consistent across both pages
• Gallery title moved to the left edge (was incorrectly centered)

Visual Improvements

• Splash screen — "SnapTune" title is now centred and larger (54px), tagline pinned to the bottom
• Circular icon button — the ⋮ menu button now has a proper circle shape instead of a squircle
• Light mode viewer — viewer background now correctly follows the theme (was stuck on black)

Optimize & Result Pages

• Back button added to the Optimize page when opened from the media viewer
• Result page redesign — removed the generic AI success icon; now shows platform name, a green "Ready" chip, and a real before/after file size comparison

Fixes

• Removed unused dart:ui and share_plus imports
• Cleaned up unused _scaleAnim animation field from result page

SnapTune v1.3.2 — Video Access Fix

What's fixed in v1.3.2

Video File Access

• Fixed: videos skipped processing on many Android devices — the app now tries three methods to access your video file: direct path → origin file → content URI (covers SD cards, WhatsApp downloads, all Android storage models)
• Fixed: silent failure now shows an error — if a video truly cannot be read, you get a clear message instead of a fake "done" result

Android Permissions

• Added READ_MEDIA_AUDIO — required on Android 13+ for FFmpegKit to process embedded audio tracks in video files
• Added MANAGE_MEDIA — required on Android 11+ for apps that read and write media files
• Audio permission is now explicitly requested at app startup on Android 13+

Result

Videos that previously finished in 2 seconds (skipped processing) will now take 10-30 seconds as FFmpeg actually transcodes them to H.264/AAC for WhatsApp.

SnapTune v1.3.1 — Video Fix

What's fixed in v1.3.1

Video Processing Bug Fixes

• Fixed: video file couldn't be read on some devices — app now tries originFile as a fallback when the primary file path returns null (affected videos on SD cards, WhatsApp downloads, Bluetooth-received files)
• Fixed: videos without an audio track caused silent failure — FFmpeg no longer tries to encode audio that doesn't exist
• Fixed: undetectable audio sample rate treated as invalid — sample rate of 0 (common on some compressed files) is now treated as unknown = OK
• Fixed: scale filter could fail to parse — replaced complex FFmpeg conditional expression with pre-computed dimensions

What this means

Videos that previously showed "already optimal" (because the processor gave up silently) will now actually be transcoded to H.264/AAC and survive WhatsApp without recompression.

SnapTune v1.3.0 — Simplified UI

What's new in v1.3.0

UI Simplification

• Reduced nav bar to 2 tabs: Gallery and Albums only
• Hamburger menu (three lines) in Gallery and Albums opens Settings
• Splash screen fades cleanly — no more split-screen flash on launch
• App icon is larger and fills more space on Android 8+ adaptive icons (purple background)

Favorites

• Moved from nav bar into Albums page as a dedicated card shortcut

Bug Fixes

• Nav bar now only auto-hides on Gallery scroll (not Albums)
• Nav bar hide/show reclaims layout space correctly (no ghost gap)
• Duplicate images in gallery fixed

Under the Hood

• WhatsApp bypass logic: treat undetectable bitrate (0) as already-OK
• VFR detection uses 5% threshold instead of strict equality (reduces false positives)
• Added -r 29.97 -threads 0 -f mp4 to transcode command, matching WhatsApp internal settings
• FPS cap raised to 60fps (preserves 60fps source quality)

v1.2.0 - UI polish & bug fixes

What's new

Bug fixes

• Splash screen no longer flashes gallery behind it during transition
• Nav bar now fully collapses (no leftover empty space) when hidden on Gallery
• Nav bar auto-hide is now Gallery-only; other tabs always keep it visible
• Duplicate images in gallery fixed (rapid scroll no longer triggers multiple concurrent page fetches)

Changes

• Splash is now text-only (removed logo image)
• Favorites removed from nav bar; access it via the Albums tab card at the top

SnapTune v1.1.0 — Speed & History

What's new

Optimization History

• Every processed file is now logged — filename, preset, original size, output size, savings %
• Savings summary card on the Optimize tab with a 7-day sparkline
• Full History page: swipe to delete entries, share any past output, clear all
• Inline quality slider (60–100) with live quality badge and reset-to-default

Performance

• Gallery thumbnails are cached in memory — scrolling back up never re-fetches
• Viewer pre-loads the previous and next image on every page change
• Already-viewed pages stay alive in memory (no reload on swipe-back)
• Thumbnail decode size reduced to 200 px; RepaintBoundary isolates repaints from selection state

UI / UX

• Nav bar hides when scrolling down, reappears on scroll-up or scroll-end
• Image viewer: swipe-to-dismiss is downward only — upward swipe no longer accidentally closes
• Splash screen replaced: clean single-animation fade + scale entry, no orbiting dots
• Albums: People and Recently Deleted special cards removed
• Settings: Rate tile removed; Feedback tile links directly to WhatsApp chat; version number is now live from the binary

Result screen

• Before / After drag slider for side-by-side quality comparison on image results

Copy cleanup

• Onboarding copy rewritten — plain, specific, no filler
• Processing step labels are literal: "Reading file...", "Compressing...", "Encoding JPEG...", "Done"
• 54 decorative divider comments stripped across 11 files
