v1.0.0 - Full Release: New Features & Updated UI

Enhancements

• Missing Issue Check: Run against a directory and generate a list of missing issues. Works on the assumption that all issues are (#1, 01, 001) through (#20, 20, 020). Missing issues are saved to a unique ID text file with the link being served to you when the process is complete.
• Configure Key Words to ignore during "Missing Issue Check"
• Folder Monitor Renaming: Monitor a folder for new files, rename and move them to a new folder. Processes everything using a {Series Name} {Issue Number} ({Year}) pattern
• Updated Selection UI: Card based UI allows you to run multiple functions without re-selecting via the menu. This also prevents accidentally running the previous function on a newly entered directory / file path.
• Updated File / Directory UI: Single File or Directory options are enabled / shown based on the whether a file or directory is entered for processing.
• Enhanced Logging and Status Messages: Added better logging and status message formatting.

Notes

Missing Issue Check is not a "smart" feature and simply assumes each folder should have files starting with (#1, 01, 001) and the "last" file is the last alpha-numeric file in the folder. It will generate a list of anything missing from that ordering. This is not a "smart" feature and simply assumes each folder should have files starting with (#1, 01, 001) and the "last" file is the last alpha-numeric file in the folder. run on an entire publisher folder.
