🎉 What's New

Visual Improvements

  • 🎨 Professional Logo: Replaced the emoji placeholder with a beautiful, high-quality PNG logo (1024x1024px)
  • 📏 Larger Display: Logo size increased from 70x70 to 120x120 pixels for better visibility
  • 🖼️ Cleaner Interface: Removed border and background from logo container for a more modern look
  • 📱 High DPI Support: Logo now renders perfectly on Retina and 4K displays

Security & Permissions

  • 🔒 Automatic Privilege Escalation: Integrated pkexec/sudo for operations requiring root access
  • 👁️ Visual Indicators: Items requiring admin privileges are now marked with 🔒 badge
  • ⚠️ Smart Permission Handling: Graceful fallback when operations fail due to lack of permissions

Functionality Improvements

  • 🔄 Auto Re-scan: System automatically re-scans after cleaning to show updated state
  • 📊 Accurate Package Manager Cleaning: Now counts only actual package files, ignoring metadata and lock files
  • 🐳 Enhanced Docker Cleaning: Force removal of dangling images that are in use by stopped containers
  • 📝 Contextual Messages: Different messages for full success, partial success, or complete failure

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed: Package Manager cache showing files after successful cleaning
  • Fixed: Docker dangling images not being removed when referenced by stopped containers
  • Fixed: Dashboard resetting to zero after cleaning instead of showing updated scan
  • Fixed: Missing error reporting for failed cleaning operations
