FerrumPix 0.9.4

FerrumPix 0.9.4 focuses on the editor, large-image performance, project workflows, Immich integration and stability.

Added the native .fpx project format. Projects can store adjustments, the layer stack and the baked working image, so edits can be reopened and continued later.
Added a Layers panel in the editor with layer visibility, opacity, blend modes, renaming, duplication, drag-and-drop reordering, deletion and rasterizing.
Reworked the editor around a full-resolution working image. Retouching, brush strokes and rasterized layers are baked once into the working image instead of being recomputed repeatedly.
Improved editing of large photos. Preview rendering, retouching, brush strokes and zoom detail rendering are much more responsive on high-resolution images.
Added high-resolution zoom detail in the editor, including the before/after comparison view. Both sides of the comparison stay sharp while zooming.
Improved the retouch tools, including smudge, repair brush and clone stamp, with regional commits and more precise undo behavior.
Added color labels in the gallery and improved metadata handling around ratings, favorites, tags and labels.
Added a gallery timeline scrubber for quick navigation by date or sort sections.
Improved Immich support, including safer asset replacement options, better handling of server timeouts, and additional People and Places navigation.

The base image can now be shown or hidden as part of the layer stack.
Image objects and watermarks support aspect-ratio locking or free stretching.
Object adjustments, blend modes, shadows, glow and transforms were stabilized.
Brush and eraser behavior is more consistent between preview, export and reopened projects.
Large brush, smudge and retouch operations were optimized to reduce UI stalls.
The before/after comparison now uses sharp detail overlays on both sides of the draggable divider.
Film negative conversion, LUTs, xmp presets and filters received additional fixes and diagnostics coverage.

Added color labels with visible tile markers and filter support.
Added a timeline scrubber for faster navigation in large folders and libraries.
Viewer image loading is more robust and discards outdated background decode results while browsing quickly.
Pending viewer rotations can be saved or discarded before switching images.
Video playback and seeking received stability fixes.

Improved synchronization of ratings, favorites, keywords and color labels.
Improved behavior when replacing existing Immich assets from save workflows.
Hidden and locked Immich assets are handled more reliably.
Immich browsing remains safer when server fields are missing or server requests time out.

Many editor render paths now update only the affected region instead of rebuilding the full preview.
High-resolution projects and large PNGs are less likely to block the interface.
Thumbnail, transparency and metadata caches were made more robust.
Fixed multiple crashes and hangs in the editor, viewer, zoom detail rendering and shutdown handling.
Completed missing UI translations.
