v0.13.0

🚀 What's Changed in v0.13.0

Added

• Provider/Scanner Title Page Detection & Fallback Matching: Multi-tier perceptual cover hashing evaluating Page 1 when Page 0 visual similarity drops below 70% or confidence threshold, matching comic covers obscured by scanner credits or provider intro advertisements.
• Natural Numeric Image Entry Sorting: High-performance zero-allocation NaturalStringComparer for natural numeric sorting of archive image entries (00_intro.jpg, 01_cover.jpg, page1.jpg, page2.jpg, page10.jpg).
• Atomic Archive Page Stripping & Removal: Clean removal of provider intro pages (StripFirstPage, RemoveArchivePages) with temp extraction, ZipSlip path validation, ComicInfo.xml PageCount decrement and Pages collection renumbering, archive repack, and .bak safety rollback.
• Bulk Auto-Tag CBR ➔ CBZ Indicators & Badges: Displayed dynamic amber CBR ➔ CBZ badges in the Archive File / Detected Query column of the Bulk Scrape queue with explanatory conversion tooltips.
• Bulk Auto-Tag Pre-Save Confirmation Dialog: Added BulkApplyConfirmWindow which prompts the user before applying bulk metadata changes whenever CBR repacking or automated file renaming (AlsoRenameFiles) is enabled, showing a live summary of all converted and renamed files.
• CLI Commands & Flags:
  • Added strip-intro <file|dir> [--dry-run] to strip provider/scanner intro pages from archives.
  • Added remove-page <file> --index <n> [--dry-run] to remove specific pages by 0-based index.
  • Added --page <n> option to cover command to extract arbitrary page images.
  • Added --cover-page <n> and --strip-intro-page options to scrape command.
• MCP Server Tools & Enhancements:
  • Added remove_comic_page tool for AI agent page removal with dry-run support.
  • Enhanced extract_cover_image with pageIndex parameter.
  • Enhanced scrape_and_apply_metadata and bulk_scrape_and_apply with detectIntroPage, coverPageIndex, and stripIntroPages options.
• GUI Scraper Match Page Switcher & Stripping:
  • Interactive page navigation (◀ Page X/Y ▶) in ScraperMatchWindow with live visual similarity re-ranking against candidate covers.
  • Added [x] Remove provider intro page on apply checkbox in ScraperMatchWindow.
  • Added Page 2 Cover badge on bulk scrape queue items where cover was matched on page 2.
  • Added [x] Strip Detected Intro Pages checkbox in BulkScrapeQueueWindow toolbar.
  • Added multi-page cover bitmap and perceptual hash caching in ArchiveCoverService.
• Full-Series Background Cover Matching & Unified Issue List in Series Wizard:
  • Automatically scans across all issues/pages in a selected series in the background (up to 500 issues per volume) with early-exit upon discovering $\ge 90%$ visual similarity, eliminating manual pagination when matching covers for later issues in long runs.
  • Replaces rigid page buttons in Step 2 with a unified, continuous scrollable issue list that dynamically sorts and pins high-confidence visual matches ($\ge 70%$) at the top with the ⭐ Top Visual Match badge and automatically selects $\ge 85%$ matches.
  • Added a quick real-time filter box in Step 2 to search/filter issues by number or title across the entire series.
  • Added live local comic cover preview thumbnails in the Step 2 header and bottom action bar with side-by-side comparison ([Local Cover] vs [Selected Candidate]) and hover-to-zoom tooltips.
  • Added [x] Rematch remaining unmatched comics in queue checkbox in SeriesSearchWizardWindow when launched from the bulk auto-tag queue, automatically re-matching all remaining unmatched, low-confidence, or error queue items against the selected series volume.
  • Added direct 🧙 Series Search Wizard... context menu option in BulkScrapeQueueWindow.
  • Added full-content hover tooltips (ToolTip.ShowDelay="100") across all text fields in BulkScrapeQueueWindow (including Archive File Name, Detected Query, Matched Series Title, and Matched Issue Title), allowing users to immediately inspect full untruncated strings on hover.
  • Added native support for Chronological & Reading-Order Pack filenames (e.g., YYYYMMDD - Franchise, Season X #Y - Arc Title, Part Z.cbz and YYYY-MM-DD - Series #X - Story.cbz):
    • Automatically strips 8-digit ISO dates (YYYYMMDD - / YYYY-MM-DD - ) and extracts the 4-digit release year.
    • Accurately decomposes franchise season-arc structures (e.g. Angel, Season 5 #14 - Smile Time, Part II $\rightarrow$ Angel: Smile Time #2, Buffy, Season 0 #1 - The Origin, Part I $\rightarrow$ Buffy: The Origin #1).
    • Converts Roman numeral part designations (Part I, Part II, Part III, etc.) to issue numbers.
    • Expands series volume searches in ComicVine scraper with arc aliases and franchise parent volumes.

Fixed

• Dynamic File Name Column Layout with Hugging Format Badges: Replaced fixed-width truncation in the DataGrid File Name column with HuggingBadgePanel, allowing filename text to expand dynamically as the column is resized while keeping format badges (CBR, CBR ➔ CBZ) hugging the right side of the text and gracefully truncating long filenames with ellipsis only when column boundaries are reached.
• Bulk Scrape Queue Window Layout & Minimum Size Enforcement: Enforced responsive minimum window dimensions (MinWidth="1160", MinHeight="580") and refactored the bottom actions bar layout into auto-sized control columns with an elastic spacer, preventing the Strip Detected Intro Pages checkbox and adjacent controls from getting compressed or bunched together on narrower window widths.
• Inspector ScrollBar Viewport Padding: Added right viewport padding (Padding="0,0,12,0") to ScrollViewer containers across the sidebar tabs (Details, Bulk Edit, Bulk Tools), preventing textboxes and input controls from colliding with or sitting proudly beneath the vertical scrollbar.
• DataGrid Column Header MinWidth Constraints: Configured explicit MinWidth constraints and adjusted default widths across all 35 DataGrid columns in MainWindow.axaml and BulkScrapeQueueWindow.axaml, ensuring column headers (e.g. Black & White, Age Rating, Language ISO, Page Count, Untagged, Manga (RTL)) are never truncated on initial load or during interactive column resizing.
• Prevent Premature Bitmap Disposal During Cache Eviction: Removed aggressive manual .Dispose() invocations on evicted image cache items in ArchiveCoverService and LruImageCache, preventing UI layout passes (Image.MeasureOverride) from encountering disposed unmanaged handles during browsing and resizing.
• Bulk Scrape Queue & Rename Error Tooltips: Added interactive hover tooltips (ToolTip.Tip="{Binding StatusTooltip}") on status badges in BulkScrapeQueueWindow and RenamePreviewWindow, surfacing the exact error or collision message when hovering over Error or Collision badges.
• Dynamic Single vs Bulk Auto-Tag Control Enabling: Automatically disables the singular Auto-Tag toolbar button, context menu items, and Tools menu commands whenever multiple items are selected in the main comic DataGrid with a helpful tooltip redirecting to Bulk Auto-Tag, and re-enables singular auto-tagging when exactly 1 item is chosen.
• Bulk Auto-Tag Retry for Errored Items: Fixed an issue in BulkScrapeQueueViewModel where clicking Apply Matched to Comic Archives a second time failed to attempt saving remaining errored items due to an overly restrictive status filter. Errored items with matched candidates remain selected and are now properly re-evaluated and retried on subsequent apply clicks.
