v0.8.0

Features

• Output: File, Output is the one dialog for printing and for the PDF and PNG exports. Print lists the ways to the printer, among them Other printer for the operating system's print dialog. File writes a PDF or a PNG. The ZPL panel bar has an Output button too.
• One label per data row: the PDF export offers a Scope that writes one page per data row. It needs a mapped dataset and a working preview renderer.
• The printer in the ZPL panel: the desktop app shows the print target with a coloured dot for its state. Check now reports model, firmware, memory, state and warnings. Read configuration shows the printer's configuration. The output dialog has the same check under Check printer.
• Adopt settings: on the desktop, Adopt from printer lists the printer's own settings beside the app's values, with every difference ticked. Adopt selected writes them into the label settings and the printer profile. Eighteen settings are covered, from darkness and speed to media type and label size.
• Printer storage: the Fonts and Graphics tabs under Settings, Objects list every file with its origin. On the desktop, Read printer adds what the printer holds and shows how full each drive is. Show displays a stored graphic or a font sample the printer draws, Delete removes a file from the printer.
• Adding a font: Add font opens a dialog that proposes the printer filename and shows each face. The font list draws a sample per font, so the names stay readable.
• Fonts from this computer: the desktop app lists the installed fonts in that dialog. Fonts whose licence forbids embedding are greyed out.
• Command list and reference: the Command list sits left of the code and the ZPL reference right. Each folds to a rail.
• The source editor: an unmatched ^XA or ^XZ is underlined and offers the missing command as a repair. Apply on an emptied buffer asks whether to start a new design.
• Reference blocks: 218 of the 225 commands show syntax, parameters and an example.
• Manage stored objects: the delivery select of a graphic or font links to its list under Settings, Objects.
• Deleting a cached file: an image or font can be deleted while an undo step still uses it. The confirmation says how many steps go with it.

Changes

• The File menu lost Send to Zebra Printer, Print as Image (browser), Export PDF and Export batch PDF. Output replaces all four.
• The Insert button of the reference is gone. A double-click or the right-click menu inserts a command. The arrow keys and Enter act in the Command list, which is now a separate pane.
• With a connected printer the desktop app covers 134 of the 225 ZPL commands, up from 127 in 0.7.1. The browser still covers 125.
• The AppImage shows up in Linux software centres with a description and screenshots, like the deb and rpm.

Fixes

• The desktop menu keeps working after a rebuild, for example after loading a CSV batch. Reported by @pglomski in #532.
• A dialog opened above the ZPL panel takes clicks again while the panel holds an edit it cannot apply.
• Minor and patch dependency updates, including Tauri 2.12.1.
