Repository Structure Reorganization (March 2025)

We've completely reorganized the repository structure to make it cleaner, more maintainable, and easier for Windows users to build the application:

1. Created a Logical Directory Structure

The repository now has a clear, organized structure:

• / - Core application files
• /build/mac/ - Mac-specific build files
• /build/windows/ - Windows-specific build files
• /dist/mac/ - Output directory for Mac builds
• /dist/windows/ - Output directory for Windows builds

2. Eliminated Redundant Files and Folders

Removed over 800 redundant files, including:

• Duplicate source files in "Resolume Composition Converter - Source" folder
• Built application files in "Resolume Composition Converter" folder
• Redundant ZIP files
• Duplicate spec files and build scripts in the root directory

3. Updated Build Scripts for the New Structure

• Created build/mac/build_mac.py for macOS builds
• Updated build/windows/build_windows.py for Windows builds
• Both scripts now use the same core files but with platform-specific configurations

4. Fixed Windows Build Instructions

• Created detailed Windows build instructions in build/windows/PC_BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.md
• Added clear troubleshooting steps for common issues
• Included a directory structure diagram to help users understand the organization

5. Updated Source Package Creation

• Modified create_source_package.py to create a package with the new directory structure
• Added Pillow to requirements.txt for icon creation
• Created a new source package with all necessary files

Image Handling Fix (March 2025)

We've improved the image handling in the application:

• Fixed image handling to preserve aspect ratio for different image formats
• Added support for various image formats (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp, .tiff, .webp)
• Square images now remain square, wide images remain wide, etc.
• Improved documentation with a new 'Image Files' section in the user manual

Media Format Conversion (March 2025)

We've added a new feature to replace media files with different formats:

• Added the ability to replace media files with different formats (e.g., .MP4 with .DXV) while keeping the same base filename
• Implemented a "Ignore file extensions" checkbox in the UI to enable this feature
• Updated the documentation with examples and usage instructions
• This feature is particularly useful for upgrading from delivery formats to playback-optimized formats

Community Standards (March 2025)

We've added all the recommended GitHub community standards:

1. Security Policy (SECURITY.md)

   • Defined supported versions
   • Created a process for reporting vulnerabilities
   • Explained what reporters can expect after submitting a report

2. Issue Templates (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/)

   • Created a bug report template with structured sections
   • Created a feature request template with sections for problem description, proposed solution, etc.

3. Pull Request Template (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md)

   • Added sections for description of changes, related issues, testing details, etc.
