Valley Oak Customs Design Manager V1.1.1
Maintenance release
This release uses application version 1.1.1.0. The intended release tag is v1.1.1.
Refresh responsiveness
- Library Refresh now performs expensive index rebuilding away from the WinForms UI thread.
- Only one Refresh runs at a time, and overlapping requests are safely coalesced.
- Index publication remains atomic so the application never exposes a partially written index.
- Structured stage timings are retained for diagnosing future environmental delays.
Multi-select regression fix
- Fixes a public-build regression that prevented Ctrl-click and Shift-click multi-selection.
- Ctrl-click adds or removes individual designs from the selected set.
- Shift-click selects a contiguous range from the current selection anchor.
- Batch Select allows the whole design card to toggle selection.
- Batch checkboxes are separated from Favorite controls and accurately reflect the selected set.
- Selected-card styling is clear in both Light and Dark modes.
- Batch tags, status, and other batch operations use the exact selected set.
Compatibility and safety
- No licensing, file-format, Preview Studio, or user-data semantics changed.
- Existing SVG, DXF, JOB, and image files remain unchanged.
- Existing settings, metadata, favorites, tags, status, collections, shop data, backups, and licensing state remain compatible.
- The installer retains the existing product identity for an in-place upgrade and still requires acceptance of the Valley Oak Customs Software License Agreement.
