🚀 Features

Add trimming to wiki renderer for improved text formatting

• Previously, the wiki required careful formatting around buttons and highlighted text to avoid double padding due to the buttons' padding
• Now, trimming allows for consistent formatting, ensuring that both options work correctly without extra spaces

Move the active button to the right of the dropdown

• This makes it easier to enable and disable keys without opening the
  dropdown

Enable regeneration of selected tables in the metadata editor

• Users can now right-click on a directory or table to add it to the regeneration queue
• The regeneration task will be processed later, allowing for a full refresh of all values in the database for the selected tables

Add album_artist and artists columns

• Added album_artist and artists columns to metadata storage, allowing for more granular search and filtering capabilities
• Implemented duplicate removal comparisons to ensure unique data in each column (album_artist, artists, artist), improving search efficiency and data analysis
• Updated metadata editor to allow writing to new columns, enabling users to edit and manage album_artist and artists information

Implement override_album_art

• Implemented two types of album art: override_album_art and album_art, where:
  • override_album_art takes priority over all other album art, including embedded images
  • album_art is used only when no embedded image is present, allowing for a balance between user preference and original metadata

Parse year from metadata with a backup of ORIGINALYEAR

• If the standard year keys are not present in the metadata then look for a
  ORIGINALYEAR tag

Implement Speed Control for music playback

• Add speed_bool in the database to manage speed control UI visibility
• Implement slider for adjusting playback speed
• Enable dynamic setting of playback speed
