Installer/app file naming

The downloaded file is now FileForgeToolkit-Setup.exe (was ImagePDFToolkit-Setup.exe), and the installed app is FileForgeToolkit.exe. If you're upgrading from an earlier version, the installer automatically cleans up the old-named file — nothing to do manually.

Home page: smart suggestions

Dropping a file on Home no longer jumps straight to one fixed tool. Instead it shows every relevant option:

  • Drop an image → resize, convert to PDF, etc.
  • Drop a PDF → compress, sign, protect, convert to Word, convert to PDF/A, and everything else that takes a PDF
  • Drop a Word/Excel/PowerPoint/HTML file → its matching "→ PDF" converter

Home's drop zone now also accepts .docx/.xlsx/.pptx/.html directly, not just images and PDFs.

Installer size

Investigated whether the ~173MB installer size (up from ~118MB before PDF → Word) could be trimmed. Excluding numpy's unused dev-tooling submodules saved under 1MB — the actual weight is in compiled binaries (numpy's bundled math libraries, OpenCV) that come from PDF → Word's underlying library and can't be selectively trimmed at the packaging level. No further reduction found without dropping that feature or its quality.
