Changed playlist visibility from auto-showing when multiple videos
to hidden by default. Users can toggle it with the menu (☰) button.
This gives a cleaner video player experience without the playlist
taking up screen space.

The TappableOverlay was added to the entire stage container, which
made it cover the video AND all control buttons below. This invisible
overlay intercepted all mouse events, preventing buttons from working.
Temporarily disabled the overlay to restore button functionality.
Will need to reimplement properly as floating controls that only
overlay the video area, not the UI controls.
Fixes:
- Play/pause button now clickable
- Volume controls now work
- All other UI buttons functional
- Keyboard shortcuts (Space, F11, ESC) still work

Fixes control interactions and icon display issues for immediate usability.
Keyboard Shortcuts:
- Space bar now globally toggles play/pause
- Works anywhere in the app when video is loaded
- No longer conflicts with keyframing mode shortcuts
Icon Display Fix:
- Replaced Material Icons unicode with ASCII/emoji fallback
- Play: ▶ | Pause: || | Stop: ■
- Skip: |◀ and ▶| | Fast: ◀◀ and ▶▶
- Volume: 🔊🔉🔇 emojis
- Menu: ☰ (hamburger)
- Works without special fonts installed
Why ASCII Fallback:
- Material Symbols font not installed by default
- Unicode characters displayed as boxes/gibberish
- ASCII icons work universally on all systems
- Ready for custom SVG icons replacement
Usage:
- Press Space anywhere to play/pause video
- Icons now display correctly without font dependencies
- Buttons should be more responsive
Next Steps:
- Add custom SVG icons (user will create)
- Implement overlay controls that auto-hide
- Fix play button responsiveness
- Move controls to overlay video area

This commit implements two new features:
1. Compare Module:
- New UI module for side-by-side video comparison
- Loads two video files and displays detailed metadata comparison
- Shows format, resolution, codecs, bitrates, frame rate, color info, etc.
- Accessible via GUI module button or CLI: videotools compare <file1> <file2>
- Added formatBitrate() helper function for consistent bitrate display
2. Target File Size Encoding Mode:
- New bitrate mode "Target Size" for convert module
- Allows users to specify desired output file size (e.g., "25MB", "100MB", "8MB")
- Automatically calculates required video bitrate based on:
* Target file size
* Video duration
* Audio bitrate
* Container overhead (3% reserved)
- Implemented ParseFileSize() to parse size strings (KB, MB, GB)
- Implemented CalculateBitrateForTargetSize() for bitrate calculation
- Works in both GUI convert view and job queue execution
Additional changes:
- Updated printUsage() to include compare command
- Added compare button to module grid with pink color
- Added compareFile1 and compareFile2 to appState
- Consistent "Target Size" naming throughout (UI and code)

Implements mutual exclusion between 'Convert Now' and queue processing:
Behavior:
- If queue is running: 'Convert Now' button is DISABLED
- If user tries to click 'Convert Now' while queue runs: Shows info dialog
with message and auto-adds video to queue instead
- Only one conversion method active at a time
This prevents:
- Multiple simultaneous FFmpeg processes competing for system resources
- Confusion about which conversion is running
- Queue and direct conversion interfering with each other
When queue is active:
- 'Convert Now' button: DISABLED (grey out)
- 'Add to Queue' button: ENABLED (highlighted)
- Clear UI signal: Only use queue mode for batch operations
Perfect for batch workflows where user loads multiple videos
and expects them all to process sequentially in the queue,
not spawn random direct conversions.
Implements automatic queue processing when jobs are added from the Convert
module via the 'Add to Queue' button:
Features:
- IsRunning() method added to queue package to check processing status
- 'Add to Queue' button now auto-starts queue if not already running
- Eliminates need to manually open Queue view and click 'Start Queue'
- Seamless workflow: Add video → Queue → Auto-starts conversion
Before:
1. Load video
2. Click 'Add to Queue'
3. Click 'View Queue'
4. Click 'Start Queue'
After:
1. Load video
2. Click 'Add to Queue' (auto-starts!)
3. Load next video
4. Click 'Add to Queue' (already running)
Perfect for batch operations where user loads multiple videos and expects
them to start encoding immediately.
Implements clear batch settings control for converting multiple videos:
Features:
- Settings persistence: All conversion settings automatically persist across videos
- Clear UI messaging: Explains that settings carry over between videos
- Reset button: One-click ability to reset all settings to defaults
- Batch workflow: Load video → set format/quality once → convert multiple videos
How it works:
1. User loads first video and configures settings (format, quality, codecs, etc)
2. Settings are stored in state.convert and persist across video loads
3. User can load additional videos - settings remain the same
4. When converting multiple videos, all use the same settings
5. User can change settings anytime - affects all subsequent videos
6. Reset button available to restore defaults if needed
This eliminates the need to reconfigure every video while allowing:
- Batch processing with same settings
- Individual video settings override when needed
- Clear visual indication of what's happening
Perfect for the user's workflow of converting 5 European videos to
DVD-NTSC format - set once, convert all 5!
