NeXroll v1.0.7

Release date: 2025-09-19

Downloads

• Installer (recommended): NeXroll_Installer.exe (attached to this GitHub Release)

Highlights

UI

• Browser tab consistently shows “NeXroll” in both packaged and dev modes.
• Public template title/description and PWA names updated to “NeXroll”.
• One-time runtime guard enforces document.title = "NeXroll".
• Cache-busting headers for “/”, “/index.html”, and “/manifest.json” prevent stale “React App” titles from cache.

System Tray

• “Check for Updates” and “About” dialogs are now foreground, topmost, task-modal, and reliably closable.

Thumbnails

• Dashboard button to Reinitialize Thumbnails across your library.
• On-demand thumbnail generation endpoint with legacy route compatibility.
• Silent ffmpeg/ffprobe execution (no flashing console windows).

Scheduling and Presets

• Optional fallback category on schedules (no 422 on null).
• Holiday Presets initializer creates per-holiday categories and preset date ranges for easy scheduling.

Packaging and Installer

• Windows installer updated to v1.0.7.
• Optional components: Windows Service, Stable Token setup, Startup shortcut, FFmpeg via winget, Firewall rule for TCP 9393.

What’s Fixed

• Tab title showed “React App” due to cached HTML/manifest; now corrected with updated templates and cache-busting.
• Tray “Update/About” dialogs could not be closed in some cases; now modal, foreground, and closable.
• Transient console windows during ffmpeg/ffprobe operations are suppressed.
• Schedule create/update no longer 422’s when fallback_category_id is not set (treated as optional).
• Dynamic thumbnail route and rebuild improvements cover missing or legacy thumbnail paths.

How to Upgrade

1. Download NeXroll_Installer.exe from the Assets of this Release.
2. Run the installer over your existing installation (upgrade-in-place).
3. After install:
   • Launch NeXroll and confirm the browser tab shows “NeXroll” at localhost:9393.
   • If upgrading from older versions, optionally run “Reinitialize Thumbnails” from the Dashboard.
   • Use “Initialize Holiday Presets” (Categories tab) to create preset categories if you have not done so.

Checksums

• SHA256 (NeXroll_Installer.exe): 75d28c6cc6a690a458fe030f63b87855eece9596a1e9577d63c3ee574403061b

Notes

• NSIS may emit benign warnings related to COMMONAPPDATA/Chocolatey detection; they do not affect installation.
• If FFmpeg is not installed (and you did not choose the FFmpeg component), thumbnail generation will remain unavailable until FFmpeg is present.
