🧠 Summary of Improvements (v2.1 to v2.2.4)

  • Added preferred metadata field ordering, prioritizing key fields like Clip Name, Scene, Take, Roll/Card, Resolution, and Audio Specs, with remaining fields sorted alphabetically.
  • Integrated robust support for Clip Color, using clip.GetClipColor() from timeline clips. Exports the color name (e.g., "Teal", "Orange").
  • Improved clip filtering to avoid crashing on unsupported items, such as offline clips, Fusion comps, and generators.
  • Ensured accurate thumbnail generation by fixing logic for middle-frame extraction, preventing duplicates, and embedding correct visuals per clip.
  • Implemented cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with automatic Resolve module path detection.
  • Fixed SyntaxWarning on Windows by escaping paths correctly using raw strings.
  • Cleaned up console output and removed all debugging prints from the beta phase.

🚧 Planned Improvements (v2.3 and beyond)

  • ✨ Drag & drop metadata field reordering in the GUI to fully customize the Excel column layout.
  • 🧱 Improved GUI layout and responsive resizing for better UX on smaller screens.
  • 🌒 Optional dark mode for a more comfortable interface when working in color grading environments.
  • 💾 Ability to export/import presets for frequently used field combinations and thumbnail settings.
  • 🔄 Multi-timeline batch export mode for preparing multiple codebooks at once.

✅ This version is stable, cross-platform, and ready for professional use in editorial and post workflows.
