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)
The -progress flag was being added AFTER the output path in the FFmpeg command,
causing FFmpeg to not recognize it and therefore not output progress information.
Moved -progress pipe:1 -nostats to appear BEFORE the output path.
Now merge jobs will correctly report progress as they encode:
- Progress starts at 0%
- Updates based on out_time_ms from FFmpeg progress output
- Calculates percentage based on total duration of all clips
- Shows accurate real-time progress in queue view and stats bar
The Merge module's ui.NewDroppable wrappers weren't receiving drop events
because the window-level handleDrop function was intercepting them first.
Added merge module handling to handleDrop function:
- Accepts individual video files and adds them sequentially to merge clips
- Accepts multiple files at once and processes all in order
- Accepts folders and recursively finds all video files
- Probes each video to get duration and metadata
- Sets chapter names defaulting to filename
- Auto-sets output path to "merged.mkv" once 2+ clips are added
- Refreshes UI after each clip is added
Now drag-and-drop works consistently across all modules (Convert, Compare, Inspect, Merge).
Files Module:
- Built-in video file explorer/manager
- Metadata table view with sortable columns (size, codec, resolution, fps, bitrate)
- Right-click context menu for file operations
- Integration with Convert, Compare, and Inspect modules
- Delete with confirmation and recycle bin safety
- SQLite-based metadata caching for performance
Color-Coded Module Navigation:
- Apply module signature colors to cross-module buttons/links
- Creates visual consistency across the application
- Helps users intuitively understand module relationships
Both features designed to integrate cleanly with existing architecture.
