Dinky 2.17.0

Changes since v2.16.0 (commit subjects from this repo):

• Site: hero version line says v2.16.0; release.sh bumps it from now on
• Floating dropzone: compress from any app without opening the window
• Sidebar pickers: one sliding track instead of boxed chip grids
• Cut installed size 35 MB → 23 MB: strip Release binary, drop coverage, binary .strings, one libjpeg
• Speed: keep the main thread free and let jobs actually run in parallel
• Simpler first drop, honest status, and Mac conveniences
• Dropzone: show each dragged file's kind; livelier waiting pill
• Settings: split Behavior into focused panes
• Decode inputs cwebp/avifenc can't read to PNG first
• Menu bar: a Slinky-style panel, shown by default
• Settings: pick the dropzone corner on a little screen
• Settings: corner picker as System Settings-style tiles
• Corner picker: your real wallpaper, Aerials too; inset like the real dropzone
• Corner picker: use the macOS default wallpaper
• Don't point encoders at /opt/homebrew/lib
• Static, trimmed encoder builds: 23 MB → 15 MB
• Menu bar: give the Floating dropzone row an icon that exists
• Menu bar: build with pre-27 SDKs (CI uses Xcode 26)
• Floating dropzone: keep the ring on the pill, morph it into the card
• Site: Dinky 2.17 — floating dropzone, menu bar panel, sliding pickers, 15 MB
• Dropzone scene: Finder-style cards with document icons, like the app
• Site: Format conversion as a list by kind of file; shorter Smart destination
• Dropzone scene: a wider, shorter Exports window, shaped like Finder's
• Family menu bar: Binky's panel shows the real routine names and counts
• Site: every guided step fits in four lines
• Family menu bar: Slinky's panel unlocks, and hides Health and recents while locked, as in the app
• Keep quality: fix cropped PDFs and quality floors across all media

Finder “Open With” shows two Dinkys

macOS lists each Dinky.app on disk with its own version. After an upgrade, an older copy is often still around.

• Homebrew: brew cleanup dinky (or brew cleanup) removes old cask versions under Caskroom.
• List every copy: mdfind 'kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == "com.dinky.app"' in Terminal; delete extras you do not need (e.g. in Downloads).
