File Studio - Improvement TODO and Current Code Quality Assessment

1. Logging System
- Enhance FLogger to support log levels (INFO, WARN, ERROR).
- Implement asynchronous logging to avoid blocking UI.
- Improve error handling in logging to report failures.
- Replace silent exception swallowing with proper error reporting.

2. FileRenamer Improvements
- Rename method "removeWordFromList" to better reflect functionality.
- Handle renameTo return value to confirm success or failure.
- Avoid using replaceAll with unescaped strings to prevent regex issues.
- Add logging for individual file rename operations and failures.
- Improve exception handling strategy.

3. Organizer Module
- Implement recursive file filtering in iterateAndFilter (currently non-recursive).
- Avoid use of static mutable state for file lists and status messages.
- Replace System.out.println debugging with proper logging.
- Check and handle renameTo success in moveFiles method.
- Improve method and variable naming for clarity.
- Add better exception handling and user feedback.

4. General Code Quality and Best Practices
- Increase use of Javadoc comments for all classes and methods.
- Follow consistent naming conventions and improve code readability.
- Modularize code further to separate concerns.
- Add unit and integration tests for critical modules.
- Improve error handling with user-friendly alerts and logging.
- Consider adopting a logging framework like Log4j or SLF4J.

5. UI and User Experience
- Continue development and testing of Metro-style UI.
- Improve drag-and-drop support robustness.
- Enhance update notification system with better feedback.

6. Build and Dependency Management
- Consider migrating from Ant to Maven or Gradle for better dependency management and build automation.

Current Code Quality Score (Estimated):
- Based on the code structure, documentation, and recent changelog, the project appears to be at a moderate quality level.
- Basic functionality is implemented with some refactoring and bug fixes ongoing.
- Logging and error handling need significant improvement.
- Code modularity and naming conventions are generally followed but can be enhanced.
- Estimated score: 65-75% (subjective estimate based on available information).

This TODO list aims to guide future improvements to enhance maintainability, robustness, and user experience.
