Tableau v2.0.0 - The Smart Canvas Update

(Note: Tableau was formerly known as "Photo Widget OSX")
This major release brings a complete overhaul to Tableau's aesthetic engine, multi-image folder support, and deep macOS workflow integration. We've fixed dozens of bugs and added highly requested features to make Tableau the definitive desktop photo widget for macOS.

🚀 What's New

1. Smart Canvas (Folder Mode)

• Folder Support: You can now point a widget to any local folder. Tableau will automatically load all images and cycle through them.
• Auto-Rotation: Set images to rotate automatically every 30s, 5m, hourly, daily, or set a custom interval down to the second.
• Double-Click Advance: Double-click any folder widget to instantly skip to the next photo.
• Per-Image Spatial Memory: When cycling through a folder, Tableau remembers the exact size and position you set for each individual photo!
• GPU-Accelerated Fades: Smooth, hardware-accelerated Core Animation crossfades between images.

2. Floating & Click-Through Overhaul

• Float Above Windows: Pin any photo above all your active apps as a persistent reference.
• Click-Through Mode: Lock photos so your mouse clicks pass right through them to the apps beneath, ensuring they never steal focus.
• Global Option-Key (⌥) Override: Hold the Option key at any time to temporarily interact with a Click-Through photo. No need to toggle settings just to move it!

3. Deep macOS Integration

• True Mission Control Support: Photos now smoothly fly away and group with your apps during Mission Control (3-fingers up) and App Exposé, keeping your workspace clean.
• Finder Context Menu: Right-click any photo in the Settings panel and click "Reveal in Finder" to instantly locate the source file.
• Photos.app Library Support: Pick directly from your native Apple Photos library using the native picker.
• Menu Bar Auto-Save: Command-Drag (⌘+Drag) the Tableau menu bar icon to place it wherever you want—macOS will permanently remember its location.

4. Advanced Aesthetics

• Edge Fade (Vignette): Add a subtle gradient fade to the edges of your photos so they blend seamlessly into your wallpaper.
• Adjustable Borders: Add custom-colored borders of varying thickness.
• Uncapped Corner Radius: Smoothly adjust corners from 0px (sharp squares) to 50px (pill shapes).
• Synchronized Resize Interpolation: The window borders, corner radii, and vignettes automatically calculate and morph flawlessly during image swaps and resizes.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• No More Resizing Glitches: Rewrote the entire window drawing engine. Resizing and toggling no longer causes sudden snaps or flickering boundaries.
• Cycle Sync Bug: Toggling between "Dynamic Fit" and "Fixed Frame" now explicitly resizes the image correctly without permanently corrupting its internal size memory.
• Debounced Interaction: Added spam-protection so frantically double-clicking photos won't freeze the app with dozens of heavy image loads.
