Active watch folders from settings are now monitored using the notify
crate. When new images appear, they are automatically processed using
the folder's linked preset. Toast notifications inform the user.
Each ExpanderRow now remembers its expanded state between sessions
using a per-section key stored in SessionState. Replaces the global
detailed_mode toggle with granular per-section persistence.
Wire tiled, margin, and scale UI controls to JobConfig and pass
through to WatermarkConfig. Add tiled text and image watermark
implementations that repeat across the full image. Add font family
filesystem search for named fonts. Add WatermarkRotation enum.
Toggle button in the header bar reveals a bottom panel showing active
watch folders with their linked presets and watching status. The add
button opens Settings for full watch folder configuration.
Users can now choose between subfolder-next-to-originals or a fixed
output folder in Settings > General. The fixed path is selectable via
a folder picker dialog and persisted across sessions.
PNG files now embed pHYs chunk for DPI when output_dpi is set, matching
the existing JPEG DPI support. Also fixed FontDialogButton signal handler
to properly unwrap the Option<FontDescription>.
Font picker using GTK FontDialog/FontDialogButton lets users choose
any installed system font for text watermarks. The selected font family
is passed through the processing pipeline and used to find the matching
font file on disk.

Users can now drag image URLs from web browsers into the image
step. URLs ending in common image extensions are downloaded to a
temp directory and added to the batch. Uses GIO for the download
in a background thread.
Users can now click different batch images in a thumbnail strip to
switch which image is used for the quality comparison preview and
watermark position preview. Shows up to 10 thumbnails with accent
highlight on the selected one.
Replace single-line arrow-delimited summary with a proper ListBox
showing each enabled operation as its own row with check icons.
Dynamically rebuilt when navigating to the output step. Also make
walk_widgets public for cross-module use.

update the config value.
Shows a thumbnail of the first batch image with the watermark text
overlaid. Preview updates in real-time as user changes text, position
(9-point grid), and opacity.
Implements actual extension file creation for Nautilus (Python
extension), Nemo (.nemo_action files), Thunar (custom actions XML),
and Dolphin (KDE service menu .desktop). Each extension creates a
"Process with Pixstrip" submenu with all presets listed. Toggle
switches in welcome wizard and settings now call install/uninstall.

Connect the header bar help button to the existing show_step_help
function, showing context-aware help for the current wizard step.
Remove duplicate function definition.
Rotation, flip, brightness, contrast, and other adjustment operations
only appear in the output step summary when the adjustments step is
enabled in the workflow configuration.
Track last_seen_version in session state. Show the What's New dialog
automatically when the version changes, but not on very first run
(where the welcome wizard is shown instead).
Steps for disabled operations (resize, adjustments, convert, compress,
metadata, watermark, rename) are automatically skipped when navigating
forward or backward. Jump-to-step also respects skip logic.
Build FormatMapping when per-format overrides are set in the convert
step advanced options, falling back to SingleFormat when no overrides
are configured.

Split-view comparison showing original vs compressed image side by
side. Draggable vertical divider with handle circle. Shows file sizes
and savings percentage. Compresses a sample image in a background
thread and renders via cairo with pixbuf clipping.
New AdjustmentsConfig with brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpen,
grayscale, sepia, crop to aspect ratio, trim whitespace, and canvas
padding. All wired from UI through to executor.
- Saturation uses luminance-based color blending
- Sepia uses standard matrix transformation
- Crop calculates center crop from aspect ratio
- Trim whitespace detects uniform border by corner pixel comparison
- Canvas padding adds white border around image
Show proportional rectangles comparing original image dimensions
(gray) vs target output dimensions (blue). Preview updates live
as the user changes width/height values. Uses first loaded image
for actual dimensions when available.
Upgrade the Add Images step from a plain ListBox to a GtkGridView
with thumbnail rendering. Each item shows a scaled thumbnail with
a checkbox overlay for include/exclude, and filename label below.
Thumbnails load asynchronously using Pixbuf at reduced size.
Uses GObject subclass (ImageItem) for the list model.
Screen readers now announce progress bar value with descriptive
text like "Processing 5 of 47: sunset.jpg" during batch processing,
instead of just reporting the fraction.
The PipelineExecutor now stores thread_count and pause_on_error
fields. When pause_on_error is enabled, the executor sets the
pause flag on failures so the user can review errors. The GUI
reads these settings from AppConfig before starting processing.
Screen readers now announce the purpose and range of brightness,
contrast, saturation, and compression quality sliders. The
watermark position grid frame also has a descriptive label.
A "?" button in the header bar shows an AlertDialog with help
text specific to the current wizard step, explaining what each
step does and key shortcuts available.
