Make the onboarding tour theme-aware across the app themes, add the first-run theme picker, and keep fake media previews on the dark media surface. Update light-mode secondary controls in onboarding, settings, dropdowns, toolbar controls, and duplicate actions so they no longer render as dark buttons on subtle-light.
- search demo results were greyed-but-visible while the query was still
typing, as if the app pre-knew the search; they're now invisible (space
reserved, no layout jump) and fade in only once typing completes
- gallery preview dropped from 3 rows to 2 so the 'Click any tile' explainer
text is visible without scrolling
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
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
