A bug-fix release — and an apology.

Some recent 0.6.x builds had a serious bug: opening a file dialog — for example, attaching or uploading a file in your browser — could hang for up to ~2 minutes, and the preview pane could come up blank/white. A tool whose entire job is to not break your shell shouldn't do that, and missing it stung — the first couple of attempts didn't fully land, either. It's properly fixed now, and I followed it with an audit that tracked down and fixed every similar issue elsewhere in the shell code. Sorry to anyone it bit, and thank you for your patience.

What's fixed

  • File dialogs no longer hang. The image preview now runs on its own message-pumping thread, so closing the dialog is instant and the preview paints reliably.
  • Preview pane follows your theme — its background now matches Windows dark/light mode instead of always being white, even when the host dialog hands it the wrong color.
  • No file can stall the shell — a hardening pass put a strict time limit (and crash-safety guard) on every in-process decode path: PDF thumbnails, the right-click menu preview, OCR, the Details/property handler, and the SVG / video / camera-RAW helpers. Earlier builds could stall on a malformed PDF or a very large image.
  • Rare close-time crash fixed — background decode helpers now keep the extension loaded until they finish, so the shell can't unload it out from under a running decode.

Install
