Alpha v9.6.2

Added

• feat(thumbs): render .ai (Adobe Illustrator) thumbnails by @purpletennisball in #1453

Changed

Tag & Field Search/Create Bars (by @CyanVoxel in #1451)

The tagging workflow has gotten a major overhaul! Clicking the "Add Tag" button or pressing Ctrl+T will now activate an inline tag search bar that you can also use to quickly create and apply new or existing tags! Creating new tags in an empty library is now as simple as clicking the "Add Tag" button, typing in the name of a tag you wish to create, and hitting Enter! The whole workflow was redone with both casual and power users in mind, and is entirely keyboard friendly. And fields have also gotten the same treatment!

You can read the brief feature overview below or read the updated documentation to see the full changes and features:

• Open tagging bar clicking "Add Tag" or using Ctrl+T
• Open field bar clicking "Add Field" or using Ctrl+L
• When searching, the underlined tag/field template will be added on Enter
• With no search results, a new tag or field template will be created on Enter and added to the selection
• Holding Shift while pressing Enter will force create a new tag/field template, regardless of the search results
• An option to always open an Edit window for new tags after creation is available by right-clicking the search bar or by going to the Settings (off by default)
• An option to always open an Edit window for field content after applying a template is available by right-clicking the search bar or by going to the Settings (on by default)
  • Field templates are always edited after being created
• The classic tag search panel can be accessed from File -> Add Tag to Selected / Shift+Ctrl+T
