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.
Introduce Avalonia as a new cross-platform UI option, including new XAML and code-behind files for the application and main window. Update Program.cs to support a --avalonia launch argument and add corresponding launch profile. Integrate Avalonia NuGet packages and ensure DataModel supports UI-thread invocation for all frontends. All business logic and state are shared via DI, enabling consistent behavior across WinForms, WPF, and Avalonia.
Refactored Program.cs to accept command-line arguments and select between WinForms (default) and WPF UI based on the presence of --wpf. Removed old commented-out UI selection code. Updated launchSettings.json to provide separate profiles for WinForms and WPF launches. If WPF is requested but unavailable, the app falls back to WinForms.
- Moved "Create Thumbnails" checkbox to the Thumbnails section.
- Relocated "Add Time" and "Add Race Time" controls to a new "Tempo Gara" section in the text options area.
- Enabled multiline input and wrapping for the Vertical Text box.

Refactored resource dictionary to define theme brushes at the top level for easier theme switching. All button content now combines icons and text for a more modern interface. No functional changes; UI/UX improvements only.
Updated text rendering logic to center each line horizontally
based on its estimated width, ensuring multi-line text is
visually centered. Previously, all lines were drawn at a fixed
horizontal position. Both shadow and main text now use the
calculated centered position.
- Use vertical text variant (TestoFirmaV) for rotated images to ensure correct orientation of overlays.
- Adjust font sizing logic for multi-line text to better fit within image bounds, accounting for line count and spacing.
- Set rotation flags (FotoRuotaADestra, FotoRuotaASinistra) before drawing text, enabling correct text variant selection.
- Ensure vertical text field is initialized from settings for consistent behavior.
Ensures EXIF orientation is cleared when cloning and after rotation,
preventing incorrect display in EXIF-aware viewers. Failures are
logged as debug messages without interrupting processing.
- Enhance ImageCreatorAlternate to support multi-line text rendering with correct sizing, spacing, and shadow for each line.
- Only draw logos on non-thumbnail images to match GDI behavior.
- Add a status bar to MainWindow showing the app version at runtime.
- Upgrade MinVer to 7.0.0 and adjust versioning to avoid WPF/XAML assembly identity issues.
- Refactor XAML layout to accommodate the new status bar.
Enhance private NuGet source setup in build_windows and publish_release jobs to support fallback authentication using NUGET_USERNAME/NUGET_PASSWORD when CI_JOB_TOKEN is unavailable. Update log messages for clarity. Add diagnostic steps in build_windows to verify NuGet feed and package visibility using configured credentials. No changes to core build or publish logic.
Switched private NuGet source authentication in build_windows and publish_release jobs to use CI_JOB_TOKEN instead of NUGET_USERNAME/NUGET_PASSWORD. Updated related log messages and ensured PowerShell variable usage is correct for environment variables. This improves compatibility with GitLab CI best practices.
Renamed the private NuGet source from 'GitLab' to 'Nuget-GitLab-AIFotoONLUS' in CI scripts for clarity and consistency. Added a repository-level NuGet.Config with packageSourceMapping to ensure only specific private packages are restored from the GitLab feed, preventing 401 errors when restoring public packages from nuget.org.

- Remove GitVersion CLI fallback for Visual Studio builds
- Update post-publish renaming to use MinVer's Version property
- Replace multiple thumbnail text checkboxes with a single ComboBox selector in MainWindow.xaml
- Change default UI startup: prefer WPF MainWindow, fallback to WinForms MainForm
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.
Integrates optional AI/OCR (AIFotoONLUS.Core) support to extract numbers from images after processing. Adds new "AI" tab in the UI for enabling extraction, selecting models folder, specifying CSV output, and previewing results. Results can be exported to CSV. Uses reflection for AI library invocation, with fallback simulation if unavailable. Persists new AI settings. Updates related NuGet packages and adds theme resources.
Introduced MainWindow.xaml and code-behind for a modern WPF interface with tabbed settings. Enabled WPF in project file. Refactored startup to launch WPF or WinForms UI based on availability. Registered WPF MainWindow in DI. Improved DataModel cancellation to be synchronous and log exceptions. Minor logging and comment updates. App now supports both WPF and WinForms frontends.
- 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.
Introduce IImageCreator interface for image creation, and update ImageCreatorSharp to implement it. Add ImageCreatorAlternate (adapter) and ImageCreatorMapper (runtime selector) classes. Extend PicSettings with ImageCreatorProvider to control backend selection. Update DI registrations and refactor ImageCreationStuff to depend on IImageCreator, enabling backend switching via configuration.
Enhance versioning by prioritizing GitVersion output for assembly, file, and informational versions. Add fallback MSBuild target to run GitVersion CLI in Visual Studio builds. Update publish rename logic to use FullSemVer and improve version normalization for artifact naming.
- 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

- Added GitVersion for semantic versioning and build metadata
- Introduced IVersionProvider and VersionProvider for UI-friendly version display
- MainForm now uses IVersionProvider for version label
- Registered VersionProvider in DI container
- Improved logging: filtered out AutoMapper license logs
- General code cleanup in Program.cs
Dialogs now remember last-used folders for source, destination, logo, and settings files by storing these paths in a user preferences file under LocalApplicationData. Preferences are saved on form close, reducing unnecessary writes. SettingsService now uses a temporary ParametriSetup for settings files to avoid polluting user preferences. Error handling ensures preference save failures do not disrupt the user. This separation improves user experience and keeps user preferences distinct from project settings.
