FlashGUI v1.1.9

FlashGUI v1.1.9

Qt persistence + dialog UX hardening release.

What’s new

• Global log splitter persistence (Qt) now autosaves during drag

  • Splitter state is saved on handle movement (debounced), not only on app close.
  • Improves resilience when app/session closes unexpectedly.

• New Settings toggle: Use native file dialogs

  • Location: Settings → Behavior
  • Default: enabled (true)
  • When disabled, Qt non-native dialogs are used for file/folder pickers.
  • Useful when native dialogs have mounted-drive visibility quirks on some environments.

• Unified file-dialog behavior in Qt flows

  • Read/Write/Verify ROM file pickers
  • Tools file/folder pickers (Binwalk Extract, Firmware Info, Firmware Update)
  • Settings load/save JSON and log path pickers

Why this matters

Issue #4 included usability concerns around visibility/persistence and file dialog behavior. v1.1.9 improves operational continuity and gives users control over dialog mode for problematic host setups.
