Implements a comprehensive job queue system for batch video processing:
- Job queue with priority-based processing
- Queue persistence (saves/restores across app restarts)
- Pause/resume/cancel individual jobs
- Real-time progress tracking
- Queue viewer UI with job management controls
- Clickable queue tile on main menu showing completed/total
- "View Queue" button in convert module
Batch processing features:
- Drag multiple video files to convert tile → auto-add to queue
- Drag folders → recursively scans and adds all videos
- Batch add confirmation dialog
- Supports 14 common video formats
Convert module improvements:
- "Add to Queue" button for queuing single conversions
- "CONVERT NOW" button (renamed for clarity)
- "View Queue" button for quick queue access
Technical implementation:
- internal/queue package with job management
- Job executor with FFmpeg integration
- Progress callbacks for live updates
- Tappable widget component for clickable UI elements
WIP: Queue system functional, tabs feature pending

Previously, when a conversion was started and the user navigated away from
the Convert module and returned, the progress stats would freeze (though the
progress bar would continue animating). This was caused by the conversion
goroutine updating stale widget references.
Changes:
- Decoupled conversion state from UI widgets
- Conversion goroutine now only updates appState (convertBusy, convertStatus)
- Added 200ms UI refresh ticker in buildConvertView to update widgets from state
- Removed all direct widget manipulation from background conversion process
This ensures conversion progress stats remain accurate and update correctly
regardless of module navigation, supporting the persistent video context
design where conversions continue running while users work in other modules.
Advanced Mode Encoder Settings:
- Added full video encoding controls: codec (H.264/H.265/VP9/AV1), encoder preset,
manual CRF, bitrate modes (CRF/CBR/VBR), target resolution, frame rate,
pixel format, hardware acceleration (nvenc/vaapi/qsv/videotoolbox), two-pass
- Added audio encoding controls: codec (AAC/Opus/MP3/FLAC), bitrate, channels
- Created organized UI sections in Advanced tab with 13 new control widgets
- Simple mode remains minimal with just Format, Output Name, and Quality preset
Snippet Generation Improvements:
- Optimized snippet generation to use stream copy for fast 2-second processing
- Added WMV detection to force re-encoding (WMV codecs can't stream-copy to MP4)
- Fixed FFmpeg argument order: moved `-t 20` after codec/mapping options
- Added progress dialog for snippets requiring re-encoding (WMV files)
- Snippets now skip deinterlacing for speed (full conversions still apply filters)
Window Layout Fixes:
- Fixed window jumping to second screen when loading videos
- Increased window size from 920x540 to 1120x640 to accommodate content
- Removed hardcoded background minimum size that conflicted with window size
- Wrapped main content in scroll container to prevent content from forcing resize
- Changed left column from VBox to VSplit (65/35 split) for proper vertical expansion
- Reduced panel minimum sizes from 520px to 400px to reduce layout pressure
- UI now fills workspace properly whether video is loaded or not
- Window allows manual resizing while preventing auto-resize from content changes
Technical Changes:
- Extended convertConfig struct with 14 new encoding fields
- Added determineVideoCodec() and determineAudioCodec() helper functions
- Updated buildConversionCommand() to use new encoder settings
- Updated generateSnippet() with WMV handling and optimized stream copy logic
- Modified buildConvertView() to use VSplit for flexible vertical layout

Drag-and-Drop on Main Menu:
- Implemented position-based drop detection on main menu module tiles
- Added detectModuleTileAtPosition() to calculate which tile receives the drop
- Modified window drop handler to pass position and route to appropriate module
- Bypasses Fyne's drop event hierarchy limitation where window-level handlers
intercept drops before widgets can receive them
- Only enabled tiles (currently Convert) respond to drops
- Loads video and switches to module automatically
Cover Art Embedding Fixes:
- Fixed FFmpeg exit code 234 error when embedding cover art
- Added explicit PNG codec specification for cover art streams
- Snippet generation: Added `-c✌️1 png` after mapping cover art stream
- Full conversion: Added `-c✌️1 png` for proper MP4 thumbnail encoding
- MP4 containers require attached pictures to be PNG or MJPEG encoded
Embedded Cover Art Extraction:
- Added EmbeddedCoverArt field to videoSource struct
- Extended ffprobe parsing to detect attached_pic disposition
- Automatically extracts embedded thumbnails when loading videos
- Extracted cover art displays in metadata section (168x168)
- Enables round-trip workflow: generate snippet with thumbnail, load snippet
and see the embedded thumbnail displayed
Technical Details:
- Modified handleDrop to accept position parameter
- Added Index and Disposition fields to ffprobe stream parsing
- Cover art streams now excluded from main video stream detection
- Grid layout: 3 columns, ~302px per column, ~122px per row, starts at y=100
- Embedded thumbnails extracted to /tmp/videotools-embedded-cover-*.png

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)

Updated the convert menu to default to source aspect ratio instead of 16:9,
which better preserves the original video's aspect ratio by default.
Changes:
- Initial state default: 16:9 → Source
- Empty fallback default: 16:9 → Source
- Reset button default: 16:9 → Source
- Clear video default: 16:9 → Source
- Updated hint label to reflect new default
