Two refinements from testing:
- the gallery-reveal, pipeline-drain, and search-typing animations looped
forever; they now play once and stop, with a Replay button to re-run
- the search demo's result tiles didn't match the queries. Now: a filename
search returns one exact file, '/s golden sunset over water' shows only
ocean-sunset stills (added a second), and '/t landscape' shows the three
actual landscapes (valleys + alpine lake), not a foggy forest
Swap the fake gallery tiles' gradient stand-ins for 13 rights-clean
generated WebP stills (512px, ~25 KB each). Search demo now returns
thematically matched results — beach/dunes for the filename query, sunset
and water for /s, landscapes for /t — so the show-don't-tell steps look
like a real library. tileGradient retained for the abstract Explore and
Timeline mini-previews.
Phase 5 of the 0.1.0 release prep:
- FFmpeg no longer blocks startup (or crashes the app offline): provisioning
runs in a background thread emitting throttled ffmpeg-progress events,
with installed/downloading/failed state queryable via get_ffmpeg_status
and a retry command
- video jobs are invisible to claiming and tier-priority checks until FFmpeg
is ready, so they wait as pending without failing — and without starving
image embeddings/tagging (include_videos gating in db.rs)
- 7-step show-don't-tell onboarding wizard: welcome + live FFmpeg progress,
real first-folder picker, faked animating pipeline bar, placeholder
gallery tiles, cycling search-syntax demo, views overview, and an AI
features step with a real opt-in tagger download
- skippable at every point (Escape included), persisted via
settings/onboarding_completed.txt, re-runnable from Settings > General,
which also gains an FFmpeg status/retry row
