MediaChips v1.4.0

Added

• Face recognition — detect faces in videos, enroll people from tag photos, match and auto-tag; enrollment quality checks, reference-photo tips, and CamGirlFinder-friendly review UX
• Gender filter — optionally keep only women or men when scanning video faces (InsightFace genderage, ~1.3 MB on demand)
• Virtual folder tags — folder tags with inheritance, manager UI, and compact settings lists
• Player — turn off live transcoding mid-playback and switch to direct play (or pick a quality to turn it back on); centered spinner while preparing/buffering
• Connection recovery — banner when the server is lost, with Electron auto-relaunch after prolonged downtime
• Global search — Tab-to-pin tags with filtered results

Changed

• Library chrome — simpler first-run setup, shared SideBar/BottomBar nav, unified maintenance tools, decluttered edit dialogs (field search, unsaved-close guard)
• Filters — edit mode for add/reorder/delete, improved filter sets and category-style group dividers
• App tabs — align to the left and append new tabs at the end
• Context menus — regroup media actions (play/playlist, then folder/move/organize; copy near select); clearer separators and source-card highlight
• Branding — refresh chrome, derive page background from primary; remove logo/name from the app bar
• Shell architecture — route more UI/catalog sync off the global event bus onto typed app catalogs and commands
• Locales — catch up German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian for face recognition, CamGirlFinder, onboarding, and measurement units

Fixed

• Live transcode — encode in short windows again (not to EOF) so scrubbing/seeking does not thrash the CPU; hand off on the actual playback position to avoid skipped frames; never upscale past the source resolution
• Big preview — soft drop shadow; do not open while a context menu is active
• Tag page — restore quick filters with co-occurrence API; offset header when filters are docked; compact mobile layout
• Performer pictures — stop reverting after replace due to get-file HTTP cache
• Path parser — match multi-word tags inside longer path chunks
• Hover cards — keep fully inside the viewport with cursor-aware placement
• Select mode — list totals and related Electron desktop chrome polish
• Tag chips — collapse long lists on media cards
• Tag edit dialog — no longer closes immediately on open
• Context submenu spacing — nested items align with regular list rows after divider fixes
