v2.0.0 - The Usability & Architecture Overhaul

[FurqanHun]

TextNomNom v2.0.0

This release transforms TextNomNom from a single script into a robust, cross-platform, and user-friendly command-line application. It focuses on a professional user experience, from automated setup to interactive use.

✨ New Features

• Interactive Menu: Run textnomnom without arguments to launch a user-friendly, step-by-step menu.
• New CLI Flags:
  • --version / -v: Instantly check the application version.
  • --config[=editor]: Quickly open the configuration file in the default (or a specified) editor.
  • --verbose: Shows detailed environment setup steps.
  • --debug: Shows logs on console and maintains a file.

🚀 Major Improvements

• Automated Environment Setup: The new textnomnom launcher automatically creates a virtual environment and installs all Python dependencies on the first run. No more manual pip install!
• Real-Time Progress Bars: When processing directories or large single files (PDFs/PPTX), a dynamic progress bar now shows the real-time progress page-by-page.
• Robust Error Handling:
  • Graceful exit on Ctrl+C without messy tracebacks.
  • Clear, user-friendly error messages for network failures (during both dependency installation and web scraping).
  • Specific errors are now shown if external dependencies like Tesseract or Poppler are not installed.
• Complete Code Overhaul: The entire script has been modularized into a clean app/ directory structure for better maintainability.
• Cross-Platform Wrappers: Includes both a textnomnom executable for Linux/macOS and a textnomnom.bat wrapper for a native experience on Windows.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• The primary way to run the application has changed from python main.py to the more direct ./textnomnom (on Linux/macOS) or textnomnom (on Windows).
