Code-2-TXT v1.3.0.0 - Release Notes

This release reworks the options dialog around the most common workflow, replaces the Windows folder picker with the classic tree dialog, fixes a picker bug, and overhauls the README.

New

• Classic folder-tree picker on Windows. Folder mode now opens the classic
  tree dialog (a plain expandable folder tree where clicking a folder selects it)
  instead of the modern Explorer-style window, where opening and selecting a
  folder were the same confusing action. On non-Windows systems, or if the native
  dialog is unavailable, it falls back to the standard directory dialog. No new
  dependencies.

Changed

• Folder mode is now the default and is listed first in the options window;
  main-file mode is second.
• Output splitting is on by default. The "Respect .gitignore" option is
  therefore enabled when the window opens, since folder mode is the default.
• OK and Cancel buttons swapped so OK sits to the left of Cancel. Enter still
  confirms and Escape still cancels.

Fixed

• Folder picker no longer opens twice. Previously the picker could reappear
  after you had already chosen a folder. It now reliably opens once and honors
  your selection.

Documentation

• README rewritten with a clear top-to-bottom flow: what the program is, quick
  start, what it does, the options window, output format, building, technical
  reference, and troubleshooting.
• Added a troubleshooting section and a placeholder for the options-dialog
  screenshot.
• Corrected the Python requirement to 3.13.12 exactly (was incorrectly listed
  as "3.9+"), matching the release build policy, and removed an unnecessary note
  about installing tkinter (the build bundles it).

Requirements

• Building the .exe requires Python 3.13.12 specifically; BUILD_EXE.bat
  verifies this and stops on any other version. Build dependencies are pinned in
  requirements.txt. The app has no runtime dependencies beyond the Python
  standard library.
