v1.4.0

Security

• Media protocol allowlists watch roots, posters, and the app data dir
• Local API requires a token from ~/.config/CollectionXiewer/local-api.json; search results expose url instead of filesystem path
• Board filenames are basename-allowlisted; openExternal is http(s)-only

Changed

• Stability and efficiency pass from the audit: safer indexing/quit, capped thumbs, incremental tag closure, viewport-scoped gallery overlays, and related renderer/main hardening

Fixed

• Search ∩ collection pagination; soft-missing for deleted files; crop/watcher races; preview navigation races; identifier badge caching

Includes AppImage and latest-linux.yml for in-app updates.

CollectionXiewer v1.3.1

Tag suggestions

• Soft suggestions are fulfilled when a parent or child of the suggested tag is already applied (same subject / Universal / custom scoping unchanged)

In-app updates

Destructive crop

• Crop now writes directly to the original file (no more virtual in-app crop overlay)
• Legacy virtual crops are migrated into files on startup
• Subject regions are remapped when a crop is applied
• Gallery masonry/horizontal layouts use correct cropped aspect ratios

Tag suggestions

• Tags on Universal no longer appear as suggestions on custom subjects (existing)
• Tags on any custom subject no longer appear as suggestions on Universal (new)
