Local Lens v2.0.5

This is a significant release for Local Lens, focused on streamlining the user experience and introducing a seamless auto-update system. We've simplified the "Find & Group" workflow, improved backend stability, and made it easier than ever to stay up-to-date with future releases.

✨ New Features

  • In-App Auto-Update Notifications: Local Lens now automatically checks for new versions on startup. When an update is available, a notification bell icon appears in the top-left corner of the application. Click it to view the full release notes and install the update with a single click—no more manually downloading from GitHub!

⬆️ Improvements

  • Simplified 'Find & Group' Operations: The "Copy/Move" toggle has been removed from the "Find & Group" mode. This operation now always copies files to prevent accidental data loss and reduce user confusion. The toggle remains available in Standard and Hybrid sorting modes.
  • Reliable Backend Connection: The Python backend now uses a consistent port (8000) in development mode instead of randomly selecting one. This ensures a stable and predictable connection between the Tauri frontend and the backend server.
  • Optimized Dependencies: Cleaned up and optimized package dependencies for improved performance and reduced application size.
  • Enhanced Documentation: Added detailed production build instructions to the setup guide for developers and contributors.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Critical Fix: 'Find & Group' Result Dialog: Fixed an issue where the completion dialog would display incorrect information (e.g., "No Matches Found") even when photos were successfully found and copied. The dialog now accurately reflects the operation results.
  • Fixed Enrollment Triggering Wrong Modal: Resolved a bug where completing a face enrollment while in "Find & Group" mode would incorrectly trigger the Find Results modal instead of the enrollment completion message.
  • Fixed Version Display: Corrected the version number shown in the update notification panel.
