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.
- 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 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.
- 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.
