What To Review
Please focus on whether this feels like one Frame Player app across Windows and macOS:
- Opening common video files.
- Play, pause, seek, frame step, and frame-number jump behavior.
- Single-pane review and two-pane compare review.
- Compare sync controls, linked zoom, context menus, and focused-pane behavior.
- Loop review and export commands.
- Recent files, Video Info, diagnostics, and disabled command states before media is loaded.
- Windows audio playback with H.264/AAC media.
- macOS launch behavior under Gatekeeper.
Known Scope
- Windows stable remains the WPF
v1.8.4release line. - This preview uses the unified Avalonia app path under
src/FramePlayer.Avalonia. - Apple Silicon macOS only for this preview.
- Linux is planned after the Windows/macOS unification pass.
- The older split preview releases are deprecated and remain available only as historical validation records.
