Shkarko WaveFlow 1.2.0

1.2.0 (2026-05-21)
✨ What's new in v1.2.0
WaveFlow 1.2.0 is a polish release focused on profiles, localisation, and the parts of the UI you touch every day.
👥 Profiles
- Delete a profile from the selector modal — pop into "Manage" mode in the top-left, tap the red trash badge on any non-active profile, confirm. The active profile and the last remaining one are locked to keep the app usable.
- Onboarding rebuilt as a multi-step wizard (welcome → language → privacy → folder → Last.fm → scan → done). The Discord step was retired and a language picker now lives right at the start, so the rest of the wizard runs in your language from step 2.
- Onboarding re-triggers on every brand-new profile, even when created from a populated one.
🌍 Languages
- All 17 locales got a top-to-bottom quality pass: French standardised on vouvoiement, English / German / Spanish / Italian / Portuguese (PT + BR) / Dutch / Russian / Turkish / Indonesian / Arabic / Hindi / Japanese / Korean / Chinese (CN + TW) reviewed for terminology, tone, plural rules and faux-amis. Keyboard-shortcut labels are now translated everywhere too.
🎛️ Settings
- Reorganised into seven category tabs (Library / Playback / Integrations / Appearance / Data / Shortcuts / Diagnostics) — only the active panel mounts, so opening Settings is instant even when EQ, backups or the shortcuts editor are heavy.
🖥️ 1080p & player polish
- Tighter chrome density across the whole app for 1920×1080 laptops.
- Immersive Now Playing no longer overlaps the visualizer with the title block.
- Sidebar (Ma musique + Playlists) shares a single scroll at narrow heights — no more invisible playlists when Spotify is enabled.
- Player bar densified to Spotify / Lokal-style proportions.
- Switch directly between Immersive Now Playing ↔ Fullscreen Lyrics without going through the main window.
📚 Library & UX
- Local artist images (artist.jpg / <artist_name>.jpg) now show up on the main Artists grid, not just on the detail page.
- Add to playlist lives right inside the track row + popover — no more hopping into the playlist view.
- Album / artist popovers render through a portal with clamp + flip placement, so they never get clipped or stuck behind other rows.
- Cover upload preserves the real image extension (PNG stays PNG instead of being saved as a renamed temp file).
- Sort labels: directions and "Recently added" wording fixed.
- VS Code style zoom with Ctrl/Cmd +/-/0, persisted across launches.
- Artwork lightbox + interactive rows are fully keyboard-accessible.
🔧 Stability
- Migrations self-heal from line-ending drift (no more boot crash if core.autocrlf rewrote your .sql files at clone time).
- Atomic guard against deleting the last remaining profile in a race.
- Library context drops stale writes after a profile switch.
- Native window drag no longer hijacks the volume slider.
👋 Community
- GitHub Discussions wired up.
- Discussions link in About / Settings now points at the right place.
📦 Recommended install
Use your distro's package manager so updates flow through the same tool you already use for the rest of your system.
