Fixed Issues:
- Exit 234 error: Added font parameter to drawtext filter for individual
thumbnails (was missing, causing FFmpeg to fail)
- Output directory: Changed from temp to video's directory, creating a
folder named "{video}_thumbnails" next to the source file
New Features:
- Added video preview window to thumbnail module (640x360)
- Split layout: preview on left (55%), settings on right (45%)
- Preview uses same buildVideoPane as other modules for consistency
The thumbnail module now has a proper preview window for reviewing
the loaded video before generating thumbnails, and outputs are saved
in a logical location next to the source file.

Updated FFmpeg drawtext filter to use DejaVu Sans Mono for metadata
text on contact sheets. This matches the monospace font style used
throughout the VideoTools UI.
DejaVu Sans Mono is widely available across Linux, macOS, and Windows,
ensuring consistent appearance across platforms.

The progress bar was configured with Max=100 but we were setting
values in the 0.0-1.0 range, causing it to always show ~0%.
Fixed by multiplying the percentage by 100 before setting the value,
so 4/22 = 0.18 becomes 18% instead of 0.18%.
Also fixed SetComplete() to set 100.0 instead of 1.0.

All UI updates from the benchmark goroutine were causing threading
errors because they weren't wrapped in DoFromGoroutine. Fixed:
- UpdateProgress: progress bar and label updates
- AddResult: adding result cards to the display
- SetComplete: final status updates
These methods are called from background goroutines running the
benchmark tests, so all UI updates must be dispatched to the main
thread using fyne.CurrentApp().Driver().DoFromGoroutine().

Extended the benchmark system to maintain a complete history of all
benchmark runs (up to last 10) with full results for each encoder/preset
combination tested.
Features:
- Stores complete benchmark run data including all test results
- History browser UI to view past benchmark runs
- Click any run to see detailed results for all encoders tested
- Compare performance across different presets and encoders
- Apply recommendations from past benchmarks
- Automatic history limit (keeps last 10 runs)
UI Changes:
- Renamed "Benchmark" button to "Run Benchmark"
- Added "View Results" button to main menu
- New benchmark history view showing all past runs
- Each run displays timestamp, recommended encoder, and test count
- Clicking a run shows full results with all encoder/preset combinations
Data Structure:
- benchmarkRun: stores single test run with all results
- benchmarkConfig: maintains array of benchmark runs
- Saves to ~/.config/VideoTools/benchmark.json
This allows users to review past benchmark results and make informed
decisions about which encoder settings to use by comparing FPS across
all available options on their hardware.

Implemented a full benchmark system that automatically detects available
hardware encoders, tests them with different presets, measures FPS
performance, and recommends optimal settings for the user's system.
Features:
- Automatic test video generation (30s 1080p test pattern)
- Hardware encoder detection (NVENC, QSV, AMF, VideoToolbox)
- Comprehensive encoder testing across multiple presets
- Real-time progress UI with live results
- Performance scoring based on FPS metrics
- Top 10 results display with recommendation
- Config persistence for benchmark results
- One-click apply to use recommended settings
UI Components:
- Benchmark button in main menu header
- Progress view showing current test and results
- Final results view with ranked encoders
- Apply/Close actions for recommendation
Integration:
- Added to main menu between "Benchmark" and "Logs" buttons
- Saves results to ~/.config/VideoTools/benchmark.json
- Comprehensive debug logging for troubleshooting
This allows users to optimize their encoding settings based on their
specific hardware capabilities rather than guessing which encoder
will work best.

The issue was that FFmpeg's out_time_ms field is actually in microseconds
(not milliseconds despite the name). We were dividing by 1,000 when we
should have been dividing by 1,000,000 to convert to seconds.
This caused the progress calculation to be off by 1000x, making it
immediately jump to 100% even though the job was just starting.
Also added comprehensive debug logging to track progress samples and
identify calculation issues in the future.

Long FFmpeg error messages were pushing the queue UI off screen, making
the interface unusable when jobs failed with verbose errors.
Changes:
- Truncate error messages to 150 characters maximum in status text
- Add helpful message indicating full error is available via Copy Error button
- Enable text wrapping on status labels to handle multi-line content gracefully
- Prevents UI layout breakage while maintaining error visibility
Users can still access the full error message via:
- Copy Error button (copies full error to clipboard)
- View Log button (opens per-job conversion log)

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.

Simplified the approach by removing complex callback logic and using a
simple 500ms timer-based update for the stats bar instead. This eliminates
threading errors completely while keeping the code straightforward.
Changes:
1. Removed queue change callback entirely
2. Added background timer that updates stats bar every 500ms
3. Removed initComplete flag (no longer needed)
4. Simplified setContent() to direct calls
5. Added onClearAll parameter to BuildQueueView()
6. Added ClearAll() method to Queue (removes all jobs)
7. Added Clear All button with DangerImportance styling in queue view
8. Clear Completed button now has LowImportance styling
This approach is much simpler: the UI just polls the queue state
periodically instead of trying to handle callbacks from goroutines.
No more threading errors, less code, easier to understand.

This commit resolves three critical issues:
1. **Fyne Threading Error on Startup**: Fixed by improving setContent() to
check the initComplete flag. During initialization, setContent() calls
SetContent() directly since we're on the main thread. After initialization,
it safely marshals calls via app.Driver().DoFromGoroutine().
2. **Queue Persisting Between Sessions**: Fixed by removing queue persistence.
The shutdown() function no longer saves the queue to disk, ensuring a
clean slate for each new app session.
3. **Queue Auto-Processing**: Fixed by making the queue start in 'paused'
state. Users must explicitly click 'Process Queue' to start batch
conversion. Queue methods PauseProcessing() and ResumeProcessing()
control the paused state.
Changes:
- main.go: Added initComplete flag to appState, improved setContent()
logic, disabled queue persistence in shutdown()
- queue/queue.go: Added paused field to Queue struct, initialize paused=true,
added PauseProcessing()/ResumeProcessing() methods
- ui/queueview.go: Added UI controls for queue processing and clearing
