Tag: v1.1.2 Release title: v1.1.2 - Optional Duplicate Import Release notes:

ImageMerge v1.1.2

Update focused on giving every workflow explicit control over duplicate handling.

Highlights

  • Added an Allow duplicate files checkbox to the Merge workflow options
  • Added the same duplicate-import option to Main Folder and Inside Folder Organizer workflows
  • When enabled, files with matching hash + extension are no longer skipped and are still sorted and renamed normally
  • Main Folder workflow avoids copying existing output files back onto themselves while still allowing duplicate imports from selected folders
  • Inside Folder Organizer now disables duplicate removal behavior when duplicate files are explicitly allowed
  • Added CLI support with --allow-duplicates
  • Added English and Thai localization strings for the new option
  • Updated executable metadata version to 1.1.2.0

Verification

  • python -m compileall MainApp.py src
  • git diff --check

Tag: v1.1.1 Release title: v1.1.1 - Streamlined UI + 16:9 Window Release notes:

ImageMerge v1.1.1

Update focused on making every workflow easier to understand and operate.

Highlights

  • Redesigned the Merge page as a clear four-step workflow: input folders, output folder, operation mode, and options
  • Grouped related controls into cleaner cards with improved spacing and visual hierarchy
  • Refined workflow navigation so the active page is easier to identify
  • Added a readiness summary beside the Start button
  • Start is now enabled only when the required source and destination selections are complete
  • Improved mode selection cards and kept processing statistics and logs visible in the right panel
  • Refined the Main Folder and Inside Folder Organizer layouts for consistency
  • Set the initial application window size to 1280x720 (16:9)
  • Added English and Thai localization strings for the redesigned interface
  • Updated executable metadata version to 1.1.1.0

Verification

  • python -m compileall src MainApp.py
  • Validated English and Thai locale JSON files
  • Rendered all three workflows offscreen at 1280x720
  • Verified Start button readiness behavior

Tag: v1.1.0 Release title: v1.1.0 - Extension-Grouped Sorting + Source Refactor Release notes:

ImageMerge v1.1.0

Update focused on safer maintainability and deterministic media numbering.

Highlights

  • Refactored the single large MainApp.py into a structured src/media_merge/ package
  • Kept MainApp.py as the same launch entry point for source and packaged runs
  • Added deterministic extension-group sorting before output numbering
  • Images are now grouped in this order before numbering: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .bmp, .gif, .tiff
  • Files inside the same extension group are sorted by numeric filename when possible, including names like 1.png, 02.png, 10.png, and 1(1).jpg
  • Video files still run after image files and now use a deterministic extension order internally
  • Fixed CLI processing call after the source split so python MainApp.py --cli ... runs correctly
  • Windows release now includes a separate portable onefile executable: ImageMerge-windows-x64-portable.exe
  • Updated executable metadata version to 1.1.0.0

Sorting Example

1.png      -> 0001.png
02.png     -> 0002.png
10.png     -> 0003.png
12.png     -> 0004.png
1.jpg      -> 0005.jpg
1(1).jpg   -> 0006.jpg
1.webp     -> 0007.webp

Verification

  • python -m compileall MainApp.py src
  • CLI smoke test for extension-group ordering
  • Offscreen PySide6 window construction smoke test

Tag: v1.0.5 Release title: v1.0.5 - Inside Organizer + Safe Temp Workspace Release notes:

ImageMerge v1.0.5

Update focused on expanding organizer workflows, safer processing, and smarter in-place reindex behavior.

Highlights

  • Added new Inside organizer mode (inside_folder) for organizing media already inside the selected target folder
  • Added third workflow page in GUI: Merge / Main Folder / Folder Organizer
  • Inside organizer now supports minimal rename behavior (keep already-correct sequence names unchanged when possible)
  • Gap-fix behavior improved: if sequence has missing indexes (for example 0003 / 0026 missing), files are shifted and reindexed continuously
  • Added optional remove duplicates by content toggle for inside organizer mode (hash + extension)
  • Added optional Safe temp workspace toggle (default enabled) for all modes to reduce risk on interruption
  • Safe mode now stages processing under .imagemerge_temp/session-<id>/ and applies final output at completion
  • Added CLI flags for new behavior: --mode inside_folder, --remove-duplicates, and --no-safe-temp
  • Expanded localization keys for new mode/page/options across supported language files

Tag: v1.0.4 Release title: v1.0.4 - Main Folder Mode + In-Place Reindex Release notes:

ImageMerge v1.0.4

Update focused on adding a workflow for organizing files directly inside the target folder.

Highlights

  • Added new Main folder mode (main_folder) for in-place organization on the output folder
  • Main folder mode now treats the output folder as the primary source and can merge additional input folders into it
  • Improved reindex behavior so filenames are reorganized into a continuous sequence after processing
  • Existing files already named by ImageMerge pattern (for example 0001.png) are preserved in ordering logic
  • New/mixed filename patterns are still handled by existing sort logic and merged into final sequence
  • CLI now supports --mode main_folder, and this mode can run without --input
  • Added UI and localization labels/descriptions for the new mode (EN/TH)

What's New (Microsoft Store Update)

  • Added a dedicated Main Folder page to separate organizer workflow from merge workflow
  • Added optional Import folders section inside Main Folder page for selecting extra folders to merge in
  • Organizer now processes in this order: organize existing files in main folder first, then merge imports, then re-index final output
  • Expanded localization coverage for the new UI keys across all supported languages
  • Updated UI theme and button contrast for clearer visibility in grayscale styling

Tag: v1.0.3 Release title: v1.0.3 - Multi-Channel Packaging + Store Automation Release notes:

  • Added Linux Snap packaging pipeline and release artifact output (.snap)
  • Added Linux installer coverage in one release flow: .deb, .rpm, .AppImage, .flatpak, .snap
  • Added Flathub-specific manifest (separate from CI Flatpak manifest) under packaging/flathub/
  • Added pinned Python dependency module for Flathub (PySide6 stack with architecture-specific wheel URLs + SHA256)
  • Added WinGet automation workflow to submit/update manifests from published releases
  • Added Homebrew Cask automation workflow to update cask and open PR to tap repo
  • Added project privacy policy document for store listings (PRIVACY_POLICY.md, EN + TH)
  • Updated macOS release matrix to build both Intel and Apple Silicon artifacts (macos-13 + macos-latest)
  • Improved Homebrew automation to support dual-architecture cask output (on_intel / on_arm) and optional upstream base repo PR flow
  • Refined WinGet automation behavior for first-submission vs update flow handling
  • Redesigned About dialog to a cleaner scrollable layout for better readability
  • Fixed About version display in packaged builds by including app_metadata.json in Nuitka build outputs
  • Added a dedicated Microsoft Store-oriented Windows MSI variant with product name ImageMergeGUI (ImageMergeGUI-windows-<arch>-msstore.msi)
  • Added automated Windows MSIX packaging + signing in release workflow for Microsoft Store submission (ImageMergeGUI-windows-<arch>.msix)

Packaging / Distribution Notes

  • Release workflow now builds additional Linux artifacts and uploads them to GitHub Release automatically
  • Flatpak App ID standardized as me.tamkungz.ImageMerge
  • Snap packaging introduced with strict confinement baseline and desktop integration metadata
  • Homebrew workflow targets macOS release zip assets and computes SHA256 during automation
  • WinGet workflow targets Windows MSI release assets for manifest submission
  • About metadata now stays consistent across source and packaged builds

Store Readiness Notes

  • Microsoft Store and Mac App Store preparation is now supported by accompanying policy/doc updates
  • Flathub submission assets are prepared; final Flathub PR still requires Linux-side validation (flatpak-builder) and review flow
