## 💬 **Conversation Log**
### 2025-12-14 - Initial Cross-Platform Fixes
**Stu's AI:** "My friend Stu uses Wayland Linux and he said that drag and drop function onto 'lt-convert.sh' did not work for him. He said that it also did not detect video files within his current folder."
**Response:** Implemented comprehensive cross-platform fixes:
- Fixed file detection using explicit scanning instead of `nullglob`
- Added `lshw` hardware detection for Linux
- Implemented cross-platform timeout handling
- Improved path resolution for different shells
- Added more video format support
**Status:** ✅ **RESOLVED** - Awaiting testing feedback from Stu
---
## 🧪 **Testing Checklist**
### **Windows Testing**
- [ ] Git Bash compatibility
- [ ] WSL compatibility
- [ ] PowerShell compatibility
- [ ] Drag-and-drop from File Explorer
### **Linux Testing**
- [ ] Wayland drag-and-drop (GNOME/KDE) **← STU TO TEST**
- [ ] X11 drag-and-drop
- [ ] Terminal execution
- [ ] Hardware detection (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel)
- [ ] File permissions handling
### **🧪 LIVE TESTING - Current Changes**
**Feature:** Cross-platform drag-and-drop and file detection
**Status:** ⏳ **AWAITING TEST RESULTS**
**Testers:**
- User: Windows ✅ (confirmed working)
- Stu: Linux Wayland 🔄 **PENDING**
**Expected Results:**
- Drag files onto script → Should process them
- Double-click script → Should find video files in directory
- Hardware detection → Should detect GPU/encoders
- All menus → Should display properly
---
## 📝 **Development Notes**
### **Known Limitations**
- Windows timeout fallback uses manual process killing
- Some Wayland desktop environments may have different drag-and-drop behavior
- Hardware detection varies by Linux distribution
### **Technical Debt**
- Consider replacing bash arrays for better portability
- Evaluate using Python for complex GUI interactions
- Standardize error message formatting
---
## 🔄 **Next Steps**
1. **Immediate:** Get feedback from Stu on Wayland testing
2. **Short-term:** Address any compatibility issues found
3. **Medium-term:** Implement progress indicators
4. **Long-term:** Consider GUI frontend development
