v1.5.8

Timeline

Added

• Drag a clip above, between, or below tracks to create a new lane
• Insertion bar that shows where the new track will land
• Auto-scroll while dragging near the top or bottom of the track list
• Drag track headers to reorder
• Resize track height from the header edge
• Overwrite edit mode
• Option-drag to copy a clip onto another lane or a new track
• Magnetic tool to close gaps after a move
• Option-drop to replace a clip with incoming media
• Shift-lock a drag to time only or track only
• Shortcuts to add, delete, and move tracks

Changed

• Dropping or placing media on occupied time creates a new track instead of stacking
• Empty tracks are removed after you move their last clip away
• New video overlays sit above; new audio sits below
• Detach Audio fully splits picture and sound so they edit independently
• Snap is now edge snapping; magnetic gap-close is its own tool

Media Library

Added

• Permanent Delete (⌘⇧⌫) with a confirmation that lists names; not undoable. Backspace still moves to Trash
• Restore File on git-dirty screenplay files, with a prompt
• Open in Terminal (⌥⌘T)
• Live validation under the rename row for empty names, collisions, and stray whitespace
• Trailing / on a new name creates a folder; foo/bar.md creates missing parents
• Sort directories first, files first, or mixed; names use natural order (file2 before file10)
• Hide gitignored files; optional git status letters (M / A / D / U / !) and bold folders
• Auto-reveal the active editor file
• Horizontal scroll for long names (clip remains the fallback)
• Disable Drag and Drop in the tree without losing drag onto the canvas

Changed

• New File / New Folder start empty; empty Enter cancels
• Paste onto a name collision opens rename with copy selected
• Undo of New File / Duplicate / Paste moves the new path to Trash so Redo can restore it
• Multi-select move, trash, and paste undo as one step
• Trash lists the files and warns if one is open in the editor
• Cut rows stay dimmed until paste or Escape
• ⌘Enter / double-click opens permanently; click / Space still previews

Fixed

• Inline rename accepts typed letters; F2 selects the stem, not the extension
• Escape cancels rename and returns focus to the tree
• First click of a newly selected row no longer starts rename; slow-click still does
• Click empty space in the file tree to deselect rows

Performance

• Source Control and Media Library switch immediately; git status, history, and file-tree git paint run in the background with a loading state instead of freezing clicks
• The Media Library only reads expanded folders, so large image/ / video/ libraries no longer stall expand, search, or panel toggles
• Preference writes (layout, expand, inspector) coalesce on a background thread so sidebar clicks do not wait on prefs.json
