Added comprehensive documentation on Linux/GNOME compatibility:
Known Issues:
- Double-click titlebar maximize is Fyne framework limitation
- Provided workarounds: Super+Up, maximize button, F11
- Window sizing issues have been fixed
Cross-platform goals:
- Smooth operation on Linux, macOS, Windows
- Single codebase with Fyne framework
- Respect native window manager behaviors
Testing matrix:
- GNOME/Fedora verified
- X11 and Wayland support
- Should work on KDE, XFCE, etc.
Development guidelines:
- Test on both X11 and Wayland
- Consider mouse and keyboard workflows
- Respect window manager tiling
- HiDPI display support
This documentation helps users understand current limitations
and provides context for cross-platform development priorities.
Created comprehensive plan for extracting video player into separate project:
Goals:
- Independent development of player features
- Tighter, more polished video controls
- Reusable component for other projects
- Keep VideoTools focused on video processing
Migration strategy:
1. Extract internal/player to new repo
2. Create clean API interface
3. Update VideoTools to use external package
4. Enhance controls in separate project
Future player improvements:
- Thumbnail preview on seek hover
- Frame-accurate stepping
- Playback speed controls
- Better keyboard shortcuts
- Timeline markers and more
This separation will allow both projects to evolve independently
while keeping the VideoTools codebase lean and focused.
Major refactoring to improve code organization and enhance UI:
Architecture:
- Split monolithic main.go into modular internal/ package structure
- Created internal/logging for centralized logging system
- Created internal/modules for module handler functions
- Created internal/ui for UI components and layouts
- Created internal/utils for shared utility functions
UI Enhancements:
- Implemented rainbow gradient across 8 module buttons (violet→red)
- Increased module button text size to 20 for better readability
- Fixed text centering on module tiles
- Converted Simple/Advanced mode toggle to tabs to save vertical space
- Added vertical scrollbars to prevent UI overflow
- Added metadata copy button (📋) to copy all metadata to clipboard
Video Processing:
- Fixed aspect ratio conversion to default to center-crop behavior
- Added 6 aspect handling modes: Auto, Crop, Letterbox, Pillarbox, Blur Fill, Stretch
- Fixed blur fill to maintain source resolution with padding (no scaling)
- Ensured all FFmpeg filters produce even-numbered dimensions for H.264
Known Issues:
- WMV files still produce FFmpeg error 234 during aspect conversions
(requires codec-specific handling in future update)
