MediaChips v1.11.1

Added

• Fast bulk media import — import large libraries with a dedicated high-throughput path and progress in the tasks UI
• Library size paywall — freemium uses a 100-item library cap (replacing the older index-based limit) with clearer upgrade prompts

Changed

• Global search — default text search uses name/tag FTS only; bookmark notes and text-file content scans are opt-in (deep) so large libraries no longer stall on the first keystroke
• Database sizes in settings — measure folder size via system du on macOS/Linux (much faster on huge generated-media trees) and load each database independently so smaller ones appear before the largest finishes
• README — repositioned around massive local libraries with a refreshed hero screenshot
• Sidebar section actions — shared edit tooltips for clearer section controls
• UI copy tone — clearer, less formal strings across locales

Fixed

• Scraped posters on Windows — normalize path-browserify roots and write thumbs atomically with EPERM retries so TPDB/TMDB poster overwrites succeed while cards are open
• License deactivate mismatch — local “registered” status could disagree with the license server when fingerprints were stale; sync from the server on check/startup, and clear local registration if deactivate reports the device is already inactive
• Inspector media refresh — skip metadata/filesize re-probe when the source file is missing, so opening the side panel no longer spams ffprobe errors; show a file-missing icon instead of thumbnail replace actions
• Linux black card thumbs — reject empty/corrupt on-disk JPEG stubs (failed FFmpeg 6 writes) and regenerate on demand instead of serving them forever
• Infinite-scroll thumb storms — allow two concurrent ffmpeg thumb/preview jobs so appending a page is less likely to stall behind a single worker
• Global search substrings — match media names with LIKE substrings when FTS alone is too strict
• Image card thumbs — refresh image cards after on-grid thumb generation
• Multi-select rating — stop rating from leaking across selected cards
