Phase 1 Progress - Convert UI Cleanup (dev23):
Architecture Improvements:
- Add SetSelectedSilent() method to ColoredSelect to prevent callback loops
- Create convertUIState manager with setQuality(), setResolution(), setAspect(), setBitratePreset()
- Eliminate syncingQuality flag (quality widgets use state manager)
- Eliminate syncingAspect flag and syncAspect() function (aspect widgets use state manager)
- Eliminate syncingBitratePreset flag (bitrate preset widgets use state manager)
Impact:
- Sync flags reduced from 5 to 2 (60% reduction)
- Automatic widget synchronization (no manual SetSelected calls)
- Single source of truth for UI state
- Foundation for eliminating remaining sync flags
Remaining: syncingBitrate, syncingTargetSize (text entry debouncing needed)
Files modified:
- internal/ui/components.go (SetSelectedSilent method)
- main.go (state manager, widget callbacks)
- Update appVersion constant from dev21 to dev22
- Ensures main menu footer and About dialog show correct version
- Completes dev22 release preparation
All build fixes applied and version correctly displayed.
Fixed compilation errors in queueview.go:
- Added missing 'image' import for StripedProgress renderer
- Removed 'theme' import (no longer used after Edit button removal)
- Removed incomplete onEditJob integration (parameter and Edit button)
Fixed compilation errors in main.go:
- Removed editJobManager field from appState struct
- Removed JobTypeEditJob case statement from job executor
- Removed executeEditJob function (150 lines with API errors)
- Removed editJobManager initialization
Updated WORKING_ON.md:
- Confirmed acceptance of opencode's Option A recommendation
- Documented all removed integration points
- Listed preserved WIP files for dev23
Job editing feature is preserved in WIP files for dev23:
- internal/queue/edit.go (not committed, ready for dev23)
- internal/ui/command_editor.go (not committed, ready for dev23)
- internal/queue/execute_edit_job.go.wip (needs import fixes)
Aligns with opencode's Option A recommendation to release
clean dev22 and complete job editing properly in dev23.
- Fixed syntax error in main.go formatBackground section
- Added formatContainer widget for format selection in Convert module
- Fixed forward declaration issues for updateDVDOptions and buildCommandPreview
- Added GPUVendor() method to sysinfo.HardwareInfo for GPU detection
- Implemented automatic GPU detection for hardware encoding (auto mode)
- Fixed JobTypeFilters -> JobTypeFilter naming inconsistency in queue.go
- Added proper JobType specifications to all queue constants
- Removed duplicate/conflicting types.go file
This fixes all compilation errors and completes the dev22 release readiness.
Implemented automatic hardware encoder selection when hardware
acceleration is set to 'auto'. The system now detects the GPU
vendor and automatically selects the appropriate encoder:
- NVIDIA GPU → nvenc (h264_nvenc, hevc_nvenc, av1_nvenc)
- AMD GPU → amf (h264_amf, hevc_amf, av1_amf)
- Intel GPU → qsv (h264_qsv, hevc_qsv, av1_qsv)
- No compatible GPU → none (software encoding)
Detection uses the existing sysinfo.Detect() function which
identifies GPUs via nvidia-smi, lspci, wmic, and system_profiler
depending on the platform.

🎨 Major Convert Module Redesign:
• Navy blue Format section with 30/70 layout and rounded corners
• Two-tone Simple/Advanced buttons with dynamic colour changes
• Proper color-coded Format dropdown with navy indicators
• Dark background containers with consistent spacing
• Responsive design matching mockup specifications
📊 Technical Implementation:
• Replaced existing Format UI with card-based layout system
• Implemented 30/70 split design for better space utilization
• Added dynamic button colouring based on selection state
• Used container.NewBorder with navy rectangles for rounded corners
• Maintained backward compatibility with existing state management
🎯 Design Philosophy:
• Professional dark theme with navy blue (#1E3A8F) accents
• Clear visual hierarchy with proper sectioning
• Consistent 12pt/16pt text sizing throughout
• Rounded corners and soft edges for modern appearance
• Color-coded visual feedback for better UX
📊 Impact: Enhanced user experience with professional, responsive UI that matches
contemporary video editing application design standards.
Removed rigid minimum size constraints on metadata panel and labeled
panels to allow the horizontal splitter to move more fluidly across
the full range of the window.
Changes:
- Commented out outer.SetMinSize() in buildMetadataPanel (line 9282)
- Commented out rect.SetMinSize() in makeLabeledPanel (line 9267)
This addresses user feedback: "The horizontal movement of the spacer
between the settings and the player/metadata frames is way too tight,
we need to be able to move things way more fluidly."

Added SVT-AV1 preset mapping (0-13) to both snippet encoding paths:
- Snippet generation in standard mode (line ~5035)
- Snippet generation in conversion format mode (line ~5132)
Both now map x264/x265 presets to SVT-AV1 presets:
- ultrafast → 12 (~10-15 hours instead of 80+)
- fast → 8 (default for snippets)
- medium → 6
- veryslow → 3 (~80+ hours)
This ensures AV1 encoding has proper speed presets across all
encoding operations, preventing extremely slow encodes when users
select AV1 codec.

- Fixed Windows ffmpeg.exe popups by adding //go:build tags and exporting CreateCommand/CreateCommandRaw properly
- Use utils.GetFFmpegPath(), GetFFprobePath(), GetFFplayPath() instead of hardcoded strings
- Switch AV1 codec to H.264 for better performance (AV1/libsvtav1 is extremely slow)
- Minor UI component refinements (padding, SetMinSize)
- Reverted all non-codec dropdowns to widget.NewSelect (quality presets, bitrate controls, rotation, resolution, aspect, encoder presets, frame rate, pixel format, hardware accel, audio controls, DVD options)
- Kept ColoredSelect ONLY for format and codec selects with semantic colors for navigation
- Fixed Upscale module to work without AI upscaler (removed realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan as required dependency)
- Fixed dvdAspectSelect.Selected() call (should be .Selected field, not method)
When switching between Kbps/Mbps/Gbps in the manual bitrate field,
automatically convert the numeric value to maintain the same bitrate.
Examples:
- 8000 Kbps → 8 Mbps
- 8000 Kbps → 0.008 Gbps
- 8 Mbps → 8000 Kbps
Prevents confusion from having nonsensical values like "8000 Mbps"
when switching units.
- Remove hardcoded minimum sizes from scroll containers and UI elements
for better responsiveness across different screen sizes
- Fix indentation and alignment across multiple modules
- Improve code consistency and readability

Aspect Ratio Handling Improvements:
- Combine "Letterbox" and "Pillarbox" into single "Letterbox/Pillarbox" option
- System auto-detects direction based on aspect ratio change
- 4:3 → 16:9 = adds pillarbox (vertical bars)
- 16:9 → 4:3 = adds letterbox (horizontal bars)
- Update hint text for clarity: "Crop removes edges, Letterbox/Pillarbox adds black bars to fit"
- Backwards compatibility: legacy "Letterbox"/"Pillarbox" options still work in aspectFilters()
Inspired by Topaz's clear UX for aspect ratio handling.
Version Updates:
- Bump version to v0.1.0-dev21
- Increment build number to 20
- Updates both main.go and FyneApp.toml
Options now available:
