In Progress Tab Enhancements:
- Added animated striped progress bars to in-progress jobs
- Exported ModuleColor function for reuse across modules
- Shows real-time progress (0-100%) with module-specific colors
- Progress updates automatically as jobs run
- Maintains consistent visual style with queue view
Lossless Quality Preset Improvements:
- H.265 and AV1 now support all bitrate modes with lossless quality
- Lossless with Target Size mode now works for H.265/AV1
- H.264 and MPEG-2 no longer show "Lossless" option (codec limitation)
- Dynamic quality dropdown updates based on selected codec
- Automatic fallback to "Near-Lossless" when switching from lossless-capable
codec to non-lossless codec
Quality Options Logic:
- Base options: Draft, Standard, Balanced, High, Near-Lossless
- "Lossless" only appears for H.265 and AV1
- codecSupportsLossless() helper function checks compatibility
- updateQualityOptions() refreshes dropdown when codec changes
Lossless + Bitrate Mode Combinations:
- Lossless + CRF: Forces CRF 0 for perfect quality
- Lossless + CBR: Constant bitrate with lossless quality
- Lossless + VBR: Variable bitrate with lossless quality
- Lossless + Target Size: Calculates bitrate for exact file size with
best possible quality (now allowed for H.265/AV1)
Technical Implementation:
- Added Progress field to ui.HistoryEntry struct
- Exported StripedProgress widget and ModuleColor function
- updateQualityOptions() function dynamically filters quality presets
- updateEncodingControls() handles lossless modes per codec
- Descriptive hints explain each lossless+bitrate combination
This allows professional workflows where lossless quality is desired
but file size constraints still need to be met using Target Size mode.

Added "Copy Command" button to queue view for running and pending jobs,
allowing users to copy the FFmpeg command to clipboard for manual execution.
Changes:
- internal/ui/queueview.go: Add onCopyCommand parameter and buttons
- main.go: Implement onCopyCommand handler in showQueue()
The handler retrieves the job, generates the FFmpeg command with
INPUT/OUTPUT placeholders using buildFFmpegCommandFromJob(), and copies
it to the clipboard with a confirmation dialog.

Implemented the foundation for FFmpeg command copy functionality:
1. Created FFmpegCommandWidget (components.go):
- Displays FFmpeg commands in scrollable monospace text
- Includes "Copy Command" button with clipboard integration
- Shows confirmation dialog when copied
- Reusable widget for consistent UI across modules
2. Created buildFFmpegCommandFromJob() function (main.go):
- Extracts FFmpeg command from queue job config
- Uses INPUT/OUTPUT placeholders for portability
- Handles video filters (deinterlace, crop, scale, aspect, flip, rotate, fps)
- Handles video codecs with hardware acceleration (H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9)
- Handles quality modes (CRF, CBR, VBR)
- Handles audio codecs and settings
- Covers ~90% of convert job scenarios
This infrastructure enables users to copy the exact FFmpeg command
being used for conversions, making it easy to reproduce VideoTools'
output in external tools like Topaz or command-line ffmpeg.
Next phase will integrate this into the Convert module UI, queue view,
and conversion history sidebar.

The queue Stats() method was grouping cancelled and failed jobs together,
causing cancelled jobs to be displayed as "failed" in the status bar.
Updated Stats() to return a separate cancelled count and modified all
callers (updateStatsBar, queueProgressCounts, showMainMenu) to handle
the new return value. Also updated ConversionStatsBar to display
cancelled jobs separately in the status bar.

- Increase striped progress bar contrast (light: 90→60, dark: 140→200)
- Increase fill opacity (180→200) for better visibility
- Increase progress bar height from 14px to 20px across both striped and standard bars
- Makes progress bars more visible and easier to read at a glance
The striped gradient now has much clearer distinction between light and dark
stripes, and the increased thickness makes progress easier to track visually.
Removed cancelRunningLocked() call from Clear() method.
Now 'Clear Completed' only removes completed/failed/cancelled jobs
and preserves pending/running/paused jobs.
Previously it was cancelling active jobs before filtering, causing
running jobs (like merges) to be removed from the queue.
Enhances screenshot module with comprehensive technical metadata display including audio bitrate, adds 8px padding between thumbnails for professional contact sheets. Implements new Player module for video playback access. Adds complete Filters and Upscale modules with traditional FFmpeg scaling methods (Lanczos, Bicubic, Spline, Bilinear) and resolution presets (720p-8K). Introduces configurable snippet length (5-60s, default 20s) with batch generation capability for all loaded videos. Fixes snippet duration precision by re-encoding instead of stream copy to ensure frame-accurate cutting at configured length.

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().

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.
