v1.1.0 - Stable Version

Stable Version v1.1.0

This official release only provide binary files for Windows 10/11 64-bit only.

For other platforms, you can build this application manually, but this information has not been verified to work properly or not because it has not been tested on those platforms.

[1.1.0]

Added

• Drag and drop. Folders can be dropped straight onto the window. Individual
  files work too, and a multi-item drop is handled one item at a time. The file
  panel shows a prompt while a drag is over the window.
• Platform-aware filename validation, with the Unix branch covered by its own
  tests. Both the Windows and the Unix branch are compiled and run before release.
• Build prerequisites for macOS and Linux are documented, including the system
  packages the GUI stack needs.
• build_release_unix.sh, the macOS/Linux counterpart to the Windows build
  script. Same gate, same packaging, handles the stat and sha256sum spelling
  differences between the two.
• A test that off_thread resolves inside a tokio runtime. Every scan and rename
  goes through spawn_blocking, which panics without one; nothing else in the
  suite exercises the async layer, so a broken executor assumption would otherwise
  have surfaced on the user's first click.

Changed

• After a rename the list is rewritten in place rather than re-read from disk.
  The previews already record what each file became, so this needs no filesystem
  access, preserves any ordering set with Up/Down, and — unlike a re-scan — does
  not pull in unrelated files when the list was built by dropping individual ones.
• Filename validation now follows the host's rules. The Windows character set,
  trailing dot/space rule and reserved device names were previously applied on
  every platform, which rejected names that are legal on macOS and Linux —
  Artist: Title.mp3 among them.

Fixed

• Execute offered to run batches that would change nothing. Iteration emits a
  row per file, so re-running it on an already-numbered folder produced previews
  where every target equalled the current name. The button counted them and then
  reported "Renamed 0 file(s)". It now counts only previews that would move a
  file, and disables when none would.
• Test fixtures used hardcoded C:\tmp\… paths. A backslash is not a separator on
  Unix, so those paths collapsed to a single component and the directory-aware
  conflict tests would have silently mis-asserted there. Fixtures now build paths
  with join.

[1.0.0]

First stable release. The project is feature-complete and archived; see
ARCHIVE.md.

Fixed

• Delete no longer removes a file from the batch while you are typing. The
  keyboard subscription discarded iced's event::Status, so a Delete press
  consumed by a focused text field also fired the list shortcut — silently
  changing the batch during ordinary editing. Shortcuts now respect focus, while
  the unambiguous Ctrl chords stay global.
• Conflicts against unchanged files are detected. Only files the pattern
  altered entered the preview list, and conflict detection counted just those. A
  rename onto the name of a file that was staying put therefore showed a clean
  preview, enabled Execute, and failed at run time. Detection now considers every
  file in the list.
• Conflict detection is directory-aware. Two files with the same name in
  different folders were reported as colliding when they do not.
• Case-only collisions are detected, both in the preview and in the pre-flight
  check, matching how Windows and macOS actually treat filenames.
• Access checks test the right permission. Each file was opened for writing to
  decide whether it could be renamed. Renaming needs write access to the
  containing directory, so read-only files — and files merely open in another
  application — were wrongly refused. Verified by a test showing a read-only file
  cannot be opened for writing yet renames without complaint.
• rust-version corrected from 1.80 to 1.89. The declared floor was wrong
  by nine minor versions, so the documented build instructions could not succeed
  on a clean toolchain.
• Settings failures are reported instead of being silently discarded.
• Non-numeric input in the Start and Padding fields is rejected at the field,
  rather than displayed and then silently reinterpreted as a default.

Changed

• Settings are debounced. Typing in the iteration fields performed a directory
  creation, a connection, a CREATE TABLE and six upserts per keystroke. They
  now use the same 300 ms debounce as the preview.
• Filesystem work runs off the UI executor via the blocking pool, so scanning a
  large folder or running a long batch cannot stall the interface.
• Colours come from the active theme's palette. They were fixed constants tuned
  for the dark theme, leaving light mode with bright-green success text and grey
  status text on white.
• The file list reloads after a rename instead of being cleared, so results are
  visible and a second pass needs no re-adding.
• File cap lowered from 10 000 to 2000 to match what the non-virtualised list
  renderer actually sustains. The old figure was documented but never achievable.
• Execute states the batch size, and explains itself with a tooltip when disabled.
• The window has a minimum size, and the lists grow with it rather than sitting at
  a fixed 300 px.
• Ctrl+↑ / Ctrl+↓ move the selected file.

Removed

• The windows and libc dependencies. Both existed solely for an
  administrator/root check used to decide whether a read-only file could be
  modified — a question renaming never needed to ask. Removing it took the
  dependency graph from 272 crates to 262, and left the project with no
  platform-specific dependencies at all.

Added

• rust-toolchain.toml pinning the verified compiler (1.95.0).
• ARCHIVE.md — what the binary depends on, what a future rebuild
  needs, and the limitations that are accepted rather than outstanding.
• Self-verifying documentation. Tests assert that the crate version,
  PROJECT_VERSION and the README badge agree, that the declared MSRV appears in
  the README, and that every numeric limit in the code is documented. Doc drift is
  now a build failure.
• Test suite grown from 11 to 37, covering conflict detection, settings
  round-trips, access checks, keyboard handling and a full scan-preview-rename
  pass against a real directory — none of which had any coverage.
• The current folder is named in the UI.

Internal

• src/app/mod.rs (696 lines, with a 215-line update) split into mod.rs,
  update.rs and view.rs.
• Domain limits moved out of theme.rs into limits.rs; rename and settings
  no longer import a presentation module to get validation bounds.
• Single-file module directories flattened to plain files.
• De-duplicated: the two near-identical preview-summary blocks, the settings
  database preamble shared by load and save, the setting-key literals written
  twice, and the labelled-input pattern repeated five times in the view.
• status_message: Option<String> plus is_error: bool replaced with a Status
  enum, removing the representable-but-invalid "error with no message" state.
• cargo clippy -W clippy::pedantic -W clippy::nursery is clean.

[0.1.1] — 2026-07-28

Changed

• Dependency majors: iced 0.13 → 0.14, rfd 0.15 → 0.17, rusqlite 0.32 →
  0.40, dirs 5 → 6, windows 0.59 → 0.62, regex 1.11 → 1.13.
• Dropped thiserror.

Added

• Two-phase rename with best-effort rollback.
• is_invalid on previews; conflicts and illegal filenames disable Execute rather
  than failing mid-batch.
• First unit tests (11), covering rename strategies and file operations.

[0.1.0]

• Initial release: find & replace, iteration numbering, natural sort, live
  preview, dark/light theme, SQLite settings persistence.
