purelogiccode/BatchConvertToCHD release_1.9.0

on GitHub

Modernized UI/UX:

• Implemented a comprehensive global theme in App.xaml featuring a new color palette, styled buttons, and "Stat Cards" with drop shadows.
• Redesigned the log viewer with a dark theme (#2C3E50) and Consolas font for better readability.
• Updated the TabControl and Menu for a cleaner, borderless appearance.

Enhanced Performance Monitoring:

• Replaced manual file-size delta calculations with Windows Performance Counters (PhysicalDisk) to provide more accurate real-time read/write speed tracking.
• Integrated speed monitoring into both CHD conversion and CSO extraction processes.

New Conversion Options:

• Added "Force createcd (CD)" and "Force createdvd (DVD)" checkboxes, allowing users to override chdman's default format detection.

Stability & Resource Management:

• Log Truncation: Implemented a 100,000-character limit for the log viewer to prevent UI lag during long batch operations.
• Improved Disposal: Refactored CancellationTokenSource and PerformanceCounter handling to prevent ObjectDisposedException and memory leaks.
• Archive Service: Updated ArchiveService to implement IDisposable for proper cleanup of system counters.

Code Refactoring:

• Refactored BugReportService and App.xaml.cs to ensure error reporting is initialized before other services.
• Updated chdman logic to better handle progress reporting via standard error streams.
