✨ What's New

🖼️ Gallery View (Major Feature)

  • Justified Gallery Layout: Adaptive grid layout that efficiently utilizes screen space with ±25% row height tolerance
  • Virtualized Rendering: Only renders visible items for smooth performance with thousands of images
  • Smart Image Loading: Priority-based system that loads visible images first, then preloads adjacent images in background
  • Seamless View Switching: Toggle between gallery and single image view with 'G' key
  • Scroll Wheel Navigation: Navigate between images in single view using mouse scroll wheel
  • Session Persistence: Remembers view mode preference and automatically opens in appropriate view

🚀 Performance Improvements

  • Optimized Loading Pipeline: Reduced initial gallery loading delay with priority queue system
  • Multi-threaded Thumbnail Loading: Increased to 16 parallel threads for faster thumbnail generation
  • Intelligent Caching: Bucket-based thumbnail caching system for efficient memory usage
  • Background Preloading: Continuously loads images in background while browsing
  • Thread Pool Optimization: Configured for optimal batch processing (16 threads, batch size 8, priority batch 20)

🎨 User Experience Enhancements

  • Keyboard Shortcuts:
    • Press 'Esc' to return to gallery from single view
  • Smooth Transitions: Optimized view switching with minimal delay
