Update Log

2026-01-07

  • Security Audit Response: Implemented recommendations from the cybersecurity audit, including a new "Security & Data Privacy" section in the README and Quick Start guide (bilingual).
  • Dependency Management: Tightened version constraints in requirements.txt and environment.yml to minimize supply chain risks (~= pinning).
  • Build Documentation: Added docs/BUILD.md detailing the manual build process for reproducibility in both English and French.
  • Update Awareness: Clarified that GitHub Releases is the official source for updates and documented the "unsigned" nature of current executables.
  • UI Update: Added a prominent "Security & Privacy" warning link in the application header pointing to the new README safety guidelines.
  • New Feature: Added CSV Export capability (.csv) including file type, size, and descriptions.
  • DevOps: Implemented automated GitHub Actions workflow for cross-platform builds (Windows, macOS, Ubuntu).
  • Accessibility: Added F2/Enter keyboard shortcuts for editing descriptions and improved screen reader labels for buttons.

  • Bilingual interface & exports: Added a Localization service, language selector, and persistent language preference so the UI and generated Markdown/Text files can be shown in English or French.
  • Content refresh: Converted the README and Quick Start guide into bilingual documents and updated architecture notes to describe the localization workflow.
  • Dependency refresh: Bumped PyQt5, humanize, markdown, and pyinstaller versions in environment.yml and requirements.txt to reflect the localization-ready release.
  • Documentation alignment: Documented localization flows and session persistence in the architecture overview and update log.

2025-11-04

  • Hidden file parity: Updated filtering logic to respect Windows hidden/system attributes across the UI and exports and added shared helpers for exclusion rules.
  • Export fidelity: Refactored the markdown/plain-text generation pipeline so preview and exports mirror the filtered tree, ensuring hidden or excluded items stay omitted.
  • Windows regression coverage: Added automated tests that exercise hidden/system attribute handling, extension exclusions, and filtered size calculations on Windows.
  • Resizable layout: Introduced a vertical splitter that keeps the header fixed while allowing the tree and preview panes to expand vertically, improving usability for large directories.
  • Guided workflow: Revised the header instructions to a numbered 1-2-3 flow, repositioned export buttons beneath the tree/preview area, and clarified usage links.
  • About/Info refresh: Updated the dialog with Digital Research Alliance messaging, repository guidance (FRDR/Borealis), and cleaned contact details.
  • External link handling: Enabled rich-text labels to open hyperlinks in the user’s default browser.
