1.7.2 (FIXED BUGS)

WavesConverter v1.7.2

Features

• ⌨️ Advanced Settings: One‑Click CLI Install — Added a brand-new "Zaawansowane" section in Settings featuring an "Install CLI" button. This handles the global installation of wavesconv via npm (npm install -g wavesconv@latest), monitors live status checks for Node.js / npm / wavesconv, and displays installation progress in real time.
• 📘 Built‑in CLI Quick Tutorial — Embedded a concise, interactive "how it works" guide directly inside the application, covering the entire workflow: installation → wavesconv tools install → interactive paste mode (wavesconv) → one‑shot commands → update checking.
• 🔗 Deep Linking Quick Examples — Relocated the deep link help resource into the "Zaawansowane" tab and provided copy‑ready command examples for: `wavesconverter://.

Documentation / Website

• 📸 Instagram Documentation — Added a dedicated Instagram integration section detailing supported URL structures (Reels / Posts / IGTV / Stories), along with explicit instructions on when a cookies.txt session file is mandatory (e.g., Stories and private profile content).
• 🔗 Deep Linking Documentation — Introduced a comprehensive deep linking guide describing the underlying wavesconverter:// protocol architecture, supported actions, URL encoding requirements, and implementation examples for both YouTube and Instagram.
• 📱 Mobile-Friendly Docs & Changelog — Optimized the documentation and changelog layouts to be completely readable on mobile devices, while gracefully hiding the installer download UI on mobile viewports and replacing it with a clear "download on desktop" notice + quick links.

Improvements

• 🧠 CLI Install/Check Engine — Engineered a unified background installer/checker layer (detecting Node/npm/wavesconv and validating binaries via wavesconv --version) wired securely through IPC so the renderer thread can display clean status states and progress bars.
• 🧩 Settings Cleanup — Deprecated and removed the old, combined "Deep link i CLI" layout block, replacing it entirely with the newly structured "Zaawansowane" module to eliminate redundancy and maintain clean UI onboarding paths.

1.4.3

WavesConverter v1.4.3

Features

• 📐 Classic Design Focused — Completely removed the experimental Material theme, focusing 100% on polishing the visual fidelity, layouts, and high contrast of the signature cyberpunk "Classic Waves" theme.
• ✨ Polished Animation Engine — Enhanced the classic theme with smooth panel fading animations, spring scale effects on buttons, and dynamic floating background gradient orbs for a premium desktop feel.
• ⚡ Visual Effects Switch — Added an "Efekty i Animacje" switch directly inside the Settings tab and the first-launch Welcome Onboarding Screen. Setting this to "Wyłączone ⚡" instantly turns off all moving background orbs, keyframe card entry movements, hover scale transitions, and animations for maximum efficiency and a snappy experience (Fast Mode).

1.4.2

WavesConverter v1.4.2

Features

• 📐 Left Sidebar Layout (Navigation Rail) — Overhauled the app layout under the Material Design theme! The navigation bar is now arranged as a premium, responsive left sidebar (Navigation Rail / Drawer) with badges beautifully aligned on the right, leaving the options area spacious and clean.
• 🔮 Premium Deep Purple Palette — Restyled the Material environment, cards, border glows, and active states using a gorgeous dark purple/plum color palette (#120d1e) with violet abstract glowing elements.
• 🏁 Updated Welcome Onboarding — Upgraded the first-launch theme selection modal to match the new left-sidebar layout styles and preview.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• ⚡ Fixed Queue & History Disappearing Bugs — Resolved a flexbox layout collapsing issue in the Material theme by forcing active tab contents to render using a robust block layout instead of a collapsing flex container. This ensures all buttons in the queue toolbar and completed downloads in the history list remain perfectly visible and scrollable at all times.
• 📁 Fixed Settings Browse Button Overlap — Added high-specificity CSS rules to the folder selector text fields to prevent default input styling (borders and paddings) from leaking inside the .folder-input container. This completely resolves the layout breakdown where the "Przeglądaj" button was overlapping the text.
• ⚙️ SemVer Versioning Compliance — Released as v1.4.2 to comply with SemVer standard version formatting requirements, since build tools (like electron-builder) reject 4-digit versions with compilation errors.

Bug Fixes & Improvements
