Folder To Text v2.1.0 - Visual Polish & Refinements

Announcing the release of v2.1.0 of Folder To Text! This is an incremental update that builds upon the major visual overhaul of v2.0.0, focusing on fine-tuning the user interface for even better clarity, contrast, and aesthetic consistency.

This version is all about the details that elevate a good design to a great one.

Key Refinements in v2.1.0:

• Fine-Tuned Color Palette: The application's color scheme has been carefully adjusted to create a more harmonious and visually pleasing dark theme. The new palette enhances readability and reduces eye strain while providing a more cohesive brand identity.

• Enhanced Contrast with Internal Borders: To improve visual hierarchy and make the interface easier to navigate, subtle internal border lines have been added. These lines clearly separate key areas like the file chooser's side panel, navigation bar, and action buttons without being distracting.

• New Background for Progress Window: The analysis progress window now features a stylish background image, making the file processing step more visually engaging and consistent with the application's modern aesthetic.

Looking Ahead

The positive reception of the new progress window background has been noted! We are considering applying a similar stylish background to other windows in future updates to further unify the application's look and feel.

Core Features (Unchanged)

All the powerful features from previous releases remain fully functional:

• A completely custom, dark-themed UI with a custom title bar, splash screen, and file chooser.
• Comprehensive project statistics (total file count and size).
• Detailed file type analysis, sorted by frequency.
• Automatic technology detection.
• Directory tree generation.

Feedback and Bug Reports

Your feedback on these visual refinements is highly appreciated! If you have any suggestions or encounter issues, please open an issue on our GitHub Issues page here.

FolderToText - v2.0.0

Folder To Text v2.0.0 - The Visual Refresh & UX Upgrade!

I'm thrilled to release v2.0.0 of Folder To Text! This is a massive update focused entirely on rewriting the user interface from the ground up for a sleek, modern, and cohesive user experience.

While v1.0.0 established the core functionality, this version transforms how you interact with the tool, making it more intuitive and visually appealing.

What's New in v2.0.0: A Complete Visual Overhaul

• Modern, Dark-Themed Interface: The entire application has been redesigned with a custom dark theme inspired by modern IDEs. All standard window frames have been replaced with a custom-designed title bar for a unified look across the entire app.

• Elegant Splash Screen: The application now greets you with a professional splash screen while the initial components are loading, providing a much better startup experience.

• Dynamic Analysis Progress Window: Gone is the simple "please wait" message! A new, custom-designed progress dialog now shows you:

  • A real-time progress bar tracking the analysis.
  • The name of the specific file currently being processed, so you know exactly what the tool is doing.

• Custom-Built File Chooser: The standard OS file chooser has been completely replaced with a fully custom, theme-consistent component, featuring:

  • A quick-access sidebar for common locations (Desktop, Documents, Drives).
  • Full navigation controls (Back, Forward, Up).
  • A design that perfectly matches the rest of the application's dark theme.

Core Features (Retained & Refined)

All the powerful features from the initial release are still here, now wrapped in a brand-new interface:

• Comprehensive Project Statistics: Instantly calculates and displays the total file count and total project size.
• Detailed File Type Analysis: Get a clear breakdown of all file types based on their extensions, sorted by frequency.
• Automatic Technology Detection: Identifies potential technologies and frameworks used in the project (like Java, React, Node.js, etc.).
• Directory Tree Generation: Creates a classic, easy-to-read tree view of the folder structure.

Feedback and Bug Reports

Your input is incredibly valuable! If you encounter any bugs with the new interface or have suggestions for future improvements, please open an issue on our GitHub Issues page here.
