⚙️ v.1.1.7 (24 Jan 2026)

✨ Features

• Added Search to the history window.
• Native Windows Video Thumbnails: Replaced the heavy opencv implementation with the native Windows IShellItemImageFactory API. Thumbnails are now generated by the OS, identical to File Explorer, with zero external overhead.
• Enhanced History Viewer:
  • Added new "File Name" column for easier list scanning.
• Deployed a separete website to handle embeddable videos.
  • Integrated LZString compression for cleaner embeddable URL generation that supports titles.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed potential PyHANDLE type errors when interacting with Windows GDI objects.

🔧 Technical Changes

• Massive Optimization: Removed opencv-python, moviepy, numpy, pandas, scikit-image, imageio, and decorator dependencies.
• Size Reduction: The compiled executable is approx. 100MB+ smaller and starts significantly faster.
• Refactoring: Rewrote thumb.py to use ctypes and win32gui for direct memory handling of bitmaps, removing the need for intermediate temp files or heavy processing libraries.

📦 Installation Notes

• New users: Download and run the EXE installer
• Existing users: The new installer will automatically detect and preserve your settings and data
