Add -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue to Get-ChildItem calls and add a check for a lib\PySide6 folder to remove matching Qt DLLs there as well. This prevents failures when no files match the patterns and ensures duplicate Qt DLLs packaged under PySide6 are cleaned up. Applied to both DLL-cleanup sections of the Windows build workflow.
Refactor Windows build cleanup to use a dedicated $libDir and more aggressively prune unused PySide6/Qt files. Replaces direct $distDir references with $libDir for lib content and removes screenshots, PDBs, translations, many plugin folders, specific image/icon plugins (qpdf/qsvg/qsvgicon), platform input contexts, and common bulky Qt DLL patterns. Also removes several build tools/unused Python modules (setuptools, wheel, pkg_resources, _distutils_hack, curses, _pyrepl). Applied the same changes to both YTSage and YTSage-FFmpeg packaging steps to reduce bundle size and noise, and improved log messages for removed items.
Adjust build-linux CI to produce smaller, self-contained AppImages: enable silent build output, add zip_include_packages so key libs (PySide6, shiboken6, requests, PIL, packaging) are packaged, and add extra excludes (pydoc, doctest, email). Use python -OO for optimized bytecode. Expand post-build trimming to remove screenshots, Qt translations, unused PySide6 plugins and other Qt artifacts (Qt6Web*, Qt6Pdf*) with informative logging. These changes reduce package size and avoid shipping unnecessary runtime components.
Improve macOS CI packaging by trimming unnecessary files from the built .app and adjusting build options. Changes include:
- Enable cx_Freeze silent build and run Python with -OO for bdist_mac.
- Add zip_include_packages to ensure key packages are bundled inside zip distributions.
- Exclude additional stdlib modules (pydoc, doctest, email) to reduce size.
- New workflow step to locate the generated .app and remove screenshots, Qt translations, unused PySide6 plugins and other Qt artifacts (Qt6Web*, Qt6Pdf*), with safer path detection and logging.
- Remove noisy post-build directory listings and simplify DMG handling/log messages; make .app and .dmg discovery more robust.
These changes aim to produce smaller, cleaner artifacts and more reliable CI packaging for macOS builds.
Add build/time optimizations and post-build trimming for Windows CI. Enables silent cxfreeze output and adds zip_include_packages (PySide6, shiboken6, requests, PIL, packaging) so selected packages are included in the zip; excludes additional stdlib modules (pydoc, doctest, email) to reduce bundle size. Switches build invocation to python -OO for extra optimization and adds dedicated PowerShell steps (for both standard and FFmpeg builds) that remove screenshots, PDB debug files, unused Qt translations/plugins and extra Qt DLLs (Qt6Web*/Qt6Pdf*) to shrink artifacts and remove unnecessary files before packaging.
Introduce SmoothTabWidget and a FadingStackedWidget to provide cross-fade transitions between tabs. Added ytsage/gui/ytsage_smooth_tab_widget.py which implements a QTabBar + FadingStackedWidget (default 300ms fade) and overlay-based fade logic. Updated ytsage/gui/ytsage_gui_dialogs/ytsage_dialogs_custom.py to use SmoothTabWidget instead of QTabWidget and adjusted the stylesheet selector to target the new content frame (#tabContent) so existing styles continue to apply.
Add a safe blurred-overlay flow for modal dialogs by implementing run_dialog_with_blur and _apply_blur_to_pixmap on YTSageApp. The new flow captures a window screenshot, generates a blurred/dimmed pixmap via a QGraphicsScene + QGraphicsBlurEffect, shows it in an overlay QLabel with a fade-in, runs the dialog, and then removes the overlay.
Replace many direct dialog.exec() calls with run_dialog_with_blur(...) across the main GUI (download settings, about, history, playlist selection, custom options, cookie login, ffmpeg check, time range, setup success dialogs, etc.). Also add imports required for pixmap/graphics handling.
Make animate_widget_fade_in usage safer by checking for the method before calling it and falling back to setVisible(True) for format table and thumbnails to avoid QPainter/graphics-effect conflicts. Small comment/cleanup in fade-in/out methods.
Update ytsage/gui/ytsage_stylesheet.py to add explicit padding for various QPushButton:pressed rules (and QPushButton:checked:pressed) across multiple style blocks. These changes unify the visual spacing and touch feedback when buttons are pressed, ensuring consistent pressed-state layout and appearance.
Introduce a shake animation to visually indicate invalid inputs and wire it into validation/error flows. Changes: import QPoint; add animate_widget_shake(QWidget) implementation that uses QPropertyAnimation on widget.pos with keyframes; call the animation when URL/path/format validations fail and replace some direct status_label updates with set_status_message_animated. Updated files: ytsage/gui/ytsage_gui_main.py and ytsage/gui/ytsage_gui_analysis.py.
Hide the thumbnail QLabel before assigning the pixmap and trigger animate_widget_fade_in to smoothly fade the thumbnail into view. Keeps existing exception logging for thumbnail processing.
Use animated show/hide for playlist widgets and harden fade animations. Replace direct setVisible signal handlers with lambdas that call set_widget_visible_animated, and add set_widget_visible_animated to route to fade-in/out. Fade methods now stop opposing animations, reuse existing QGraphicsOpacityEffect when present, preserve current opacity as start values, and set effect opacity when creating a new effect. Also catch possible RuntimeError when stopping animations and keep animation references on widgets to avoid premature GC.
Make the format table invisible while it's populated and filtered to avoid visual artifacts, then animate its appearance with animate_widget_fade_in after initial filtering. This ensures a smoother UI when the table is first built.
Introduce smooth UI transitions by adding opacity-based animations. Import QGraphicsOpacityEffect and add animate_widget_fade_in, animate_widget_fade_out, and set_status_message_animated to cross-fade status text and fade buttons in/out. Update signal handlers and download flow to use the new animated status setter and fade methods instead of direct setText/setVisible calls. Keep animation references on widgets to avoid premature GC and remove effects after fade-out.
Initialize an error buffer and collect yt-dlp "ERROR:" output lines during direct command runs. When the process exits non‑zero, emit a more informative error using the last two captured error lines (falling back to the generic return-code message if none were captured). Also ensure the buffer is present before appending and keep the existing delay/cleanup flow.
Moved PySide6.QtNetwork from the excludes to the includes list in build workflows for Linux, macOS, and Windows. This ensures the QtNetwork module is bundled during packaging.

Updated image paths and installation instructions to reflect the new project structure. The documentation now references the 'branding' directory instead of 'assets/branding', and installation uses 'pip install .' with module execution via 'python -m ytsage.main'. The project tree was revised to match the reorganized source and asset directories.
Introduces a script to automate the production build process, including backing up and modifying the README for PyPI, cleaning previous build artifacts, building the wheel, and restoring the original README. This streamlines and standardizes the release workflow.
