Local Lens v1.2.0

This is a major feature and stability release for Local Lens, introducing long-awaited functionality and fixing critical bugs. The highlight of this version is the new Copy/Move toggle, giving users non-destructive organization options. We've also completely overhauled the subfolder selection for more granular control and implemented a new automatic update system to make getting future releases seamless.

✨ New Features

  • Operation Mode: Copy or Move: You now have the choice! A new toggle in the main interface allows you to select between the original 'Move' behavior and a new, non-destructive 'Copy' mode. The application now defaults to 'Copy' for enhanced safety.
  • Automatic Application Updates: Local Lens can now automatically check for new versions on startup. If an update is available, you will be notified directly within the app with an option to download and install it seamlessly.

⬆️ Upgrades

  • Hierarchical Subfolder Selection: The subfolder exclusion list has been upgraded to a full hierarchical tree view. You can now expand and collapse folders to see their structure and ignore entire branches or individual subfolders with much greater precision.
  • UI/UX Enhancements:
    • The "Copy/Move" toggle has been redesigned with a modern, glassy aesthetic to improve clarity and usability.
    • After a successful 'Move' operation, the UI now gracefully resets, preventing errors from pointing to a deleted source folder.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Major Fix: File Locking on 'Move': Resolved a critical bug that caused "Access Denied" errors when moving photos from one drive to another (e.g., from an SD card to a hard drive). The metadata extraction process has been re-engineered to prevent it from holding onto file handles, ensuring move operations are now stable and reliable.
  • Major Fix: Hybrid Mode Incompleteness: Corrected a flaw in 'Hybrid' mode where only photos matching a "special" folder rule were moved, while other photos were incorrectly left behind in the source directory. All photos are now correctly processed and moved as expected.
  • File Count Accuracy: The "supported files" counter now updates accurately when ignoring or re-including nested subfolders, providing a reliable preview of the operation.
