Installation: add Option C — pipx install from PyPI (since 9.1.9); Home quick-start pipx one-liner
Python floor 3.10+ (verified); document the Linux/macOS release packages; refresh hdfmonkey auto-download and CI/PyInstaller build notes
Document the new UI language support (v9.1.7/9.1.8) Settings tab: new "Language" section — the seven-language Application language picker (instant apply, hdfg.cfg persistence), the first-run OS-language adoption with its bottom-left advisory note, what stays in English (tab titles, dropdown values, runtime text), and where the translation catalogues live for contributions. Home + User Manual: short cross-referencing mentions (Settings section and the "works the same everywhere" conventions). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Updated Home (markdown)
Home: point the tour GIF at the copy in the repo The wiki was carrying its own 4 MB duplicate. The repo copy (docs/) is the canonical one — versioned with the code and present in every clone — so link to it and drop the second copy. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Home: sharpen the tour GIF Same re-encode as the README copy: native 1500x950 with no rescaling, rgb24 instead of yuv420p (chroma subsampling was smearing the coloured text), and dither=none over a 96-colour palette. Slower holds, same file size. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Home: add the animated tab tour Same loop as the README hero, kept as its own copy under images/ so the wiki does not depend on a path in the code repo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add screenshots to the user-manual tab pages Twelve captures, one per tab (NextSync gets two, one per mode), taken with Retro mode on where the pane offers it. Produced headlessly by driving a throwaway copy of the app with its own hdfg.cfg, so no real configuration was touched. The local explorer points at a synthetic "Spectrum Next" sample folder and the scratch dir lives under C:\Users\Public, so no personal paths appear; the hostname and LAN addresses in the NextSync prepare log are masked with <placeholder> markers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add a per-tab user manual to the wiki Twelve new pages aimed at first-time users: an overview page covering the tab strip, the conventions shared across panes (log window, Retro toggle, Table/Gallery, the heart) and the keyboard shortcuts, plus one page per tab with a quick start and a reference for every control. Home now links to each page from a new "User manual" section, and a sidebar gives the whole wiki navigation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Home: add HTTP bridge security note (LAN-only, no TLS, ZXNEXTUNITE-BRIDGE-TOKEN)
Add Send2Trash attribution to Licensing, dependencies and acknowledgements
Document building the .exe with PyInstaller + UPX (--upx-dir C:\upx)
Credit PyInstaller and UPX (build-time tools behind the pre-built binary)
Document the HTTP bridge concurrent-connection limit (default 1) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Document the HTTP bridge port setting and the -start-remote-explorer-listener startup switch Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add Flask (Pallets, BSD-3-Clause) attribution for the NextSync HTTP bridge Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rename PC-side reference server nextsync4.py -> nextsync5.py
Rename the dot command .sync4 -> .sync5 (v5.0); protocol names unchanged
Bump documented Windows release from v8.x to v9.x
NextSync: document -l alias and BREAK-key stop for -listen
Document the NextSync remote file explorer (.sync4 -listen)
Document the new z88dk dotN build of the .sync4 dot command (removes the 8 KB limit)
Installation: expand MAME section (general info + Linux Flatpak launch) - How the app finds MAME (downloads/mame vs PATH precedence per OS) - Windows auto-install + startup update check - Linux/macOS are detection-only (no official binary); how to install - Required Spectrum Next boot ROM (tbblue.zip, do not extract) - ROM/system choice and MAME launch options - New: launching MAME via Flatpak (org.mamedev.MAME) — flatpak install, the "Launch Mame with Flatpak" setting + rom path, -rompath, and the Flatpak sandbox filesystem-permission note Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
