✨ Key UI Improvements

  • Loading Overlays: Full-screen progress indicators with descriptive text replace inline spinners
  • Cached Context Menus: Right-click menus now reuse instances for smoother repeated interactions

🛠 Technical Refinements

  • Threading Overhaul: Better async patterns, cancellation support, and resource disposal across all services
  • Image Processing: Robust retry logic for file locks (OneDrive/antivirus), atomic writes, orphaned temp cleanup
  • Data Binding: Fixed image dimension bindings, added MissingImageItem model for cleaner ListBox binding
  • Error Resilience: Granular locking in ErrorLogger, UI thread safety in AudioService, graceful mame.dat handling

📈 Performance & Reliability

  • Swapped Parallel.ForEach → Task.WhenAll for better cancellation
  • Lazy initialization for heavy resources (broken images, MAME data)
  • Source-generated regex, C#14 static lambdas, pattern matching throughout

Result: Smoother UX during searches, fewer binding errors, bulletproof file operations 🚀
