MimikaStudio v2026.03.10 Release Notes

Release Date: March 22, 2026
Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon)

What's New In v2026.03.10

  • Added desktop drag-and-drop import to the Audiobooks document library for PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, RTF, ODT, DOC, TXT, and Markdown files.
  • Added explicit in-app drop messaging so the Audiobooks screen now clearly signals where to drop supported documents.
  • Made the Audiobooks Documents pane collapsible and draggable to resize.
  • Made the Generated Audiobooks pane collapsible and draggable to resize.
  • Split Voice Prompts upload into a dedicated Upload Voice pane that is now collapsible and draggable to resize.

User Impact

  • You can now drag supported book/document files straight into the Audiobooks workflow instead of importing them only through the picker.
  • Long-form generation controls are easier to manage because the Documents and Generated Audiobooks areas can be collapsed when you want more room for preview and settings.
  • Voice Prompt Management has a clearer layout: upload stays in its own pane, while search/filter/audition work remains focused in the table below.

Technical Notes

  • Added the desktop_drop Flutter dependency and updated the macOS plugin registrant for native file-drop handling.
  • Refactored flutter_app/lib/screens/audiobook_screen.dart to support dropped local files, explicit drop states, and split-pane resizing/collapse controls.
  • Refactored flutter_app/lib/screens/voice_prompt_management_screen.dart to separate upload controls into their own resizable pane above the shared voice library table.

Previous Release: v2026.03.9

  • Fixed long-form audiobook generation failures for oversized extracted texts and replaced the transient audiobook start-failure snackbar with a readable dialog.
