📦 Bulk Decompressor Overhaul
- Unlock password-protected archives: When a file is locked and isn't in your bank yet, the app now pops up and asks you for the password instead of failing.
- One password at a time: If multiple locked archives extract at once, the popups wait their turn one by one instead of piling on top of each other.
- Wrong password shake: If you mistype a password, the input box gives a gentle shake so you know right away to try again.
- Remembers passwords for you: Any password you enter to unlock an archive is automatically saved to your Password Bank for the future.
- Password Bank organized by creator: Saved passwords are now neatly grouped under each creator with collapsible sections, and any artists queued for decompression glow green so you can easily spot matching passwords.
- Fast artist search & jumping: The artist picker is sorted alphabetically with compact scrolling, quick-add shortcuts next to each creator, and instant keyboard jumping by typing any letter.
- Auto-inject passwords from Link Vault (WIP): Automatically harvesting archive passwords from Link Vault posts and injecting them into the Decompressor Password Bank is actively in progress.
🛡️ Safety & Extraction Smarts
- Disk space safety check: The decompressor checks your free disk space before starting so you don't run out of storage mid-extraction.
- Already-extracted archive detection: Archives you have already extracted are clearly highlighted in amber so you know what is done at a glance.
- Re-extract confirmation: Trying to unpack an already-extracted archive prompts a friendly confirmation asking whether you want to re-extract or skip it.
- No more empty folders: Archives are verified before extraction starts, preventing empty ghost folders on your computer if an archive is damaged or incomplete.
