v0.1.0-beta.8

Release Notes - v0.1.0-beta.8

Improvements

• Improved thumbnail and folder preview performance, especially while scrolling large folders.
• Added smarter folder preview caching that can reuse higher-resolution cached previews for smaller requests.
• Added content thumbnail caching for folder previews to avoid repeated extraction of the same cover image.
• Reduced UI stalls on OpenGL by throttling texture uploads more conservatively and using lower-resolution thumbnails while scrolling.
• Improved thumbnail quality handling with size-aware extraction and better reuse across zoom levels.
• Added EXIF orientation support so JPEG/TIFF thumbnails display with the correct rotation.
• Improved WIC thumbnail extraction with faster size-aware decoding paths.
• Moved alpha premultiplication work off the UI thread to reduce upload-time frame spikes.
• Reduced memory copying by sharing thumbnail RGBA buffers internally.
• Added upload budgeting for thumbnails and folder previews to keep frames responsive.
• Deferred or discarded offscreen thumbnail uploads during OpenGL scrolling.
• Reused cached RGBA data with Arc to avoid large memory clones.
• Optimized icon extension cache lookups to reduce allocations on hot paths.
• Added thumbnail extraction performance logging for slow extraction/cache operations.

Fixes

• Fixed repeated thumbnail re-extraction when zooming in or out.
• Fixed folder previews being replaced by lower-resolution cached versions.
• Fixed UI freezes caused by excessive synchronous OpenGL texture uploads.
• Fixed icon shimmer during smooth scrolling by snapping icon rectangles to physical pixels.
• Fixed GIF playback issues where partially decoded animations could loop incorrectly before all frames were ready.
• Fixed PDF viewer mouse-wheel scrolling speed for line-based wheel events.
• Fixed intermittent folder tooltips in Dual Panel mode. Resolved an issue where matching folders rendered in both panels could reset each other’s tooltip hover timer, preventing the tooltip from appearing.
