v0.1.7 — Data Edit Feature

What's New

Data Editing

• Table View: Double-click any cell to edit it inline — press Enter to confirm, Escape to cancel

• Navigating between records (arrow keys or Prev/Next buttons) auto-saves the current record
• Switching from Record View to Table View auto-commits any open edits

Save / Save As

• File > Save (Ctrl+S) — writes changes back to the original file (CSV or XLSX)
• File > Save As... (Ctrl+Shift+S) — saves to a new file path

Unsaved-Changes Tracking

• Title bar shows * when there are unsaved changes

v0.1.6

Changed

• Help/About dialog: Replaced hand-rolled QMessageBox with AboutDialog from pyqt-app-info

  • Resizable dialog with selectable text in the technical details section
  • Graceful fallback to original dialog if pyqt-app-info is not installed
• requirements.txt: Added pyqt-app-info dependency (installed from GitHub)

See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

v0.1.5

What's changed

Changed

• run.ps1: Synced from Python-venv generic template — added # --- CONFIGURATION --- block and [CSVreader] status prefix
• run.sh: Full rewrite to match run.ps1 feature parity — adds test_venv_valid(), find_python(), broken venv detection/recreation, and # --- CONFIGURATION --- block
• csv-reader.py: Updated VERSION constant to v0.1.5 2026-02-18 09:27 CST; added v0.1.3/0.1.4/0.1.5 entries to header changelog
• README.md: Version line updated to v0.1.5

• WINDOWS-INSTALLATION-GUIDE.md: Version and Last Updated footer updated

See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

v0.1.4

What's Changed

Fixed

• run.ps1: Detect and recreate broken venv before activation
  • Added Test-VenvValid helper that reads pyvenv.cfg to check whether the venv's base Python path still exists — without running any broken executable
  • If the venv points to a missing Python (e.g. created under a different user account), it is automatically wiped and recreated
  • Prevents the No Python at '...' error that occurred when activating a stale venv

v0.1.3

What's Changed

Fixed

• run.ps1: Robust Python detection when a stale or broken venv is activated
  • Added Find-Python helper that probes candidates in order: py launcher, common install paths, PATH python
  • Each candidate is verified by running --version before use, skipping shims that point to missing interpreters
  • Prevents failure caused by a venv created under a different user account or a moved Python installation

CSV Reader v0.1.2

What's New in v0.1.2

Added

• Edit menu with Search (Ctrl+F) shortcut — activates search from any view mode, automatically switching to Table View if needed
• run.ps1: Windows PowerShell launcher — auto-creates venv, installs dependencies, and launches the app
• Complements the existing run.sh for Linux/macOS/Git Bash users
• README.md: New project README with features, quick start for all platforms, keyboard shortcuts, and project structure

Documentation

• WINDOWS-INSTALLATION-GUIDE.md updated to document run.ps1 as an installation option

See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

CSV-Reader v0.1.1

Added

• Icon Manager Module Integration: Cross-platform icon management for consistent icon display
  • Integrated icon_loader.py module from Icon_Manager_Module
  • Generated platform-specific icons: app.ico (Windows), app.icns (macOS), multi-resolution PNGs (Linux)
  • Automatic OS-specific icon format selection
  • Windows taskbar icon fix via AppUserModelID + WM_SETICON
  • Graceful fallback chain: native format → sized PNGs → null icon with warnings
• Generated cross-platform icon assets from ICON_csv-reader-2.png source

Changed

• Updated csv-reader.desktop Icon path from ICON_csv-reader.png to app.png
• Icon loading now uses Icon Manager Module instead of direct QIcon(path)

Downloads

• csv-reader.exe — Windows 64-bit standalone executable (no Python required)
