Refactored image creation APIs to use byte[] for logo data instead of System.Drawing.Image, enabling cross-platform support. Wrapped all GDI+/Windows-specific code in #if WINDOWS and updated project files to conditionally include Windows-only dependencies. Defaulted to ImageSharp on non-Windows, and updated UI and settings to reflect platform capabilities. Application now builds and runs on Linux/macOS with Avalonia and ImageSharp, while retaining full Windows functionality.
Replaced multiple mutually-exclusive boolean properties for thumbnail text options with a single enum (`ThumbnailOption`) in the data model. Updated WinForms UI to use a ComboBox instead of radio buttons for selecting thumbnail mode. Adjusted designer, mapping profile, settings DTO, and settings service for enum support and backward compatibility. Simplified thumbnail generation logic and improved maintainability by ensuring only one mode can be selected at a time.
Implement mutually exclusive logic for thumbnail display modes in DataModel and MainForm. Add ThumbnailMode property for authoritative state. Replace radio button bindings with event handlers. Synchronize UI with model changes. Explicitly map thumbnail flags to PicSettings. Force WinForms startup, disabling WPF branch.
- Allow users to select a transparent color for logo images (watermarks) via UI (checkbox, color picker, preview).
- Apply color-key transparency in both System.Drawing and ImageSharp backends: specified color in logo is made fully transparent.
- Persist transparency settings in PicSettings and SettingsDto; bind to DataModel and UI controls.
- Update logo preview to reflect transparency in real time.
- Add option to select image processing library (System.Drawing or ImageSharp) in UI and settings.
- Fix bug in SettingsService parameter loading for int/double/DateTime.
- Fully integrate color-key transparency into image processing and settings serialization.
Introduce UI option to choose between System.Graphics and ImageSharp for image processing. Update DataModel and MainForm for robust binding and synchronization. Rewrite ImageCreatorAlternate to use ImageSharp for core operations and GDI+ for overlays. Remove test buttons, add radio group for library selection. Update project dependencies to support new features and modernize image handling.
- Switch to explicit "3.2.0" next-version in GitVersion.yml
- Update NuGet packages and set assembly name to "ImageCatalog"
- Add MSBuild target to rename published exe with year and version
- Add AppVersion property to DataModel, set via IVersionProvider
- Replace static version label with data-bound versionLabel in UI
- Remove manual version label logic from MainForm
- Update DI to inject IVersionProvider into DataModel
- Ensures UI always shows correct version and builds are versioned
Enhanced speed counter with smoothing and elapsed time display.
Added folder open buttons to UI and repositioned speed label.
Added UpdateSubdirectories to settings for persistence.
- Added MaddoShared.Benchmarks project with BenchmarkDotNet for comprehensive image processing performance tests (parallel, chunk, size, stress).
- Included helper for generating test images and custom configs to ensure InProcess toolchain for .NET Windows compatibility.
- Added cross-platform scripts to run benchmarks easily.
- Updated .gitignore for benchmark artifacts and temp files.
- Exposed GetFilesToProcessPublic in ImageCreationStuff for testability.
- Added file name sanitization in ImageCreatorSharp to prevent IO errors.
- Enhanced WinForms UI: added "Open" buttons for source/destination folders, handled folder opening in Explorer, and improved user messaging and layout.
- Updated solution file to include new benchmark project.
