Release 1.6

Improvements

• Added a "Convert URL" button. When pressed, SLR will evaluate a normal URL and replace each string of one or more numerals with an equivalent sequence definition, which the user can then edit.
• The location of the application window and the current Options settings are now saved in an "slr.json" file in the application's home directory on Exit, and are loaded upon Startup.
• Updated screenshots and README.md file to reflect the above

Version 1.5 released

Changes

• Branding: icon of 'The Rustler' added to the 'credit/blame' line at the bottom of all SLR-generated HTML pages.

Version 1.4 released

Have the day off tomorrow, so I've stayed up late fiddling even more with the GUI design.

Here's the initial/main view with Options hidden:

And here's the Options displayed:

Version 1.3 released

Improvements

• Improved GUI design
• More consistent/less brittle GUI element placement
• More efficient approach to showing/hiding Options elements

Version 1.2 released

New features

• added more checks for malformed URL masks
• improved error messages for malformed URL masks
• re-designed GUI layout to improve stability of display in different Python environments (using different default fonts)
• focus goes to URL Mask entry/edit field on startup
• "Rustle Up Them Links" button closer to URL Mask entry/edit
• moved main buttons to top of window; Showing/Hiding Options expands and contracts window with minimal impact on fixed elements

Version 1.1 released

Bugs squashed

• Restored line of code that I'd previously commented out, totally breaking the main function. (I've just got to learn to write and use tests before my next project!)

Other

• Improved GitHub pages documentation.

Version 1.0-beta released

New features

• Options now hidden by default; Show/Hide via a button toggle
• An alternate location and/or name for generated HTML may be specified
• By default, the file identified by the above settings will be deleted from system upon Exit; but can be left intact via an Option
• Broken image link placeholder now will be shown by default, but can be hidden via an Option

Bugs squashed

• Fixed error when broken images were not hidden (due to previous rushed/incomplete re-factoring)

v0.9-beta released

• Choose the browser in which the generated html file with the links will be opened
• For images only
  • Choose whether to Display or Hide broken image links
  • Set the width of the thumbnail images as either a % of the browser window's width or in pixels

Bugs squashed

• Non-image links now display correctly
• Switched from subprocessing module to threading, and moved relevant code from the GUI to main.py

Basic functionality, decent README.md, example URL_masks and sample data files on GitHub pages all completed!
