Changelog

All notable changes to FolderScope are documented here.

The project uses Semantic Versioning. Release tags are formatted as vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

0.3.0 - 2026-07-26

Added

• Added persistent input history for folder and wildcard fields in Search Options.

Changed

• Renamed the executable, desktop entry, icon, and application identity from SearchMyFiles to FolderScope.
• Preserved existing settings and search profiles when migrating to the new application identity.
• Kept the base-folder browser button compact so the input field uses the available width.

0.2.5 - 2026-07-26

Added

• Added an optional strict byte-by-byte verification mode for duplicate files.

Changed

• Accelerated duplicate detection with size grouping, sampled block hashes, and full SHA-256 hashing only for remaining candidates.
• Normalized overlapping search roots and deduplicated file candidates so a path cannot be compared with itself.
• Strengthened persistent cache invalidation with nanosecond timestamps and filesystem identity.

0.2.4 - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• Corrected result-table context menu positioning.
• Added validation for ISO date filters instead of silently accepting invalid input.
• Replaced the 2 GB size-filter limit with precise 64-bit inputs.
• Preserved visible table order when acting on multiple selected files.
• Made release preparation reject untracked files.

Added

• Added automated tests for search primitives, large size inputs, and release safeguards.
• Added the test suite to the CI verification gate.

0.2.3 - 2026-07-25

Added

• Added a persistent cache for duplicate hashes and file-content matches with automatic invalidation when files change.
• Added cache controls and a context menu on column headers for per-column and global automatic width.

Changed

• Renamed duplicate result columns to Duplicate Set and Keeper Priority, with tooltips explaining which copy is preferred.

0.2.2 - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• Scoped workflow YAML linting to the .gitea source directory.
• Combined CI and tag-gated release publishing into one workflow.

0.2.1 - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• Removed the incompatible workflow-artifact upload step from Gitea Actions.
• Kept the release gate fail-closed: version validation, build, GUI smoke test, and YAML lint must all pass before Gitea release assets are published.

0.2.0 - 2026-07-25

Added

• Initial Linux desktop release with C++20 and Qt 6.
• Advanced file search, content search, duplicate detection, summaries, and CSV/TXT/HTML/XML/JSON export.
• Configurable columns, persistent UI settings, context actions, and progress reporting.
