PawLaboratory/FurryArtStudio

FurryArtStudio is a portable, open-source desktop application for Windows that helps users organize fursona manuscripts, reference materials, and original character content. It features a modern, accessible UI with dark mode support, local SQLite storage, and tools for image gallery management and color extraction. The system also integrates with external web services to display sponsorship data, random quotes, and application updates, while providing utilities for file management and settings persistence.

The application now includes a comprehensive set of localized string resources (English and a custom Furry Chinese variant) for UI elements such as menus, dialogs, and status messages, alongside a new strongly-typed icon resource class. This class provides distinct bitmap assets for both light and dark modes for various interface components, including file operations, editing tools, and system dialogs, enabling the UI to adapt its appearance based on the user's theme preference.

A new PowerShell script (script/release.ps1) has been added to automate the release process. It detects the current version from the project's AssemblyInfo file, updates the CHANGELOG by prepending content from WHATSNEW.txt, and then commits the changes, creates a git tag, and pushes to the remote repository.

The application project now includes its core configuration files, establishing the assembly metadata (version 1.0.20.0, company PawLaboratory), application settings persistence, and Windows manifest requirements. These changes define the application's startup behavior, enable high-DPI awareness, and set the execution level to 'asInvoker' for standard user privileges.

My Project · high confidence

It is distributed as a portable, open-source tool under the Apache 2.0 license.

The Utilities layer now provides a new AppSettings class for managing application preferences (such as theme, language, and startup options) via JSON serialization. File operations have been refactored into a FileTransaction class that uses Windows hard links for efficient file management, falling back to copying if necessary. Additionally, WinAPI.vb exposes UIPI message filter functions (ChangeWindowMessageFilter/Ex) to resolve drag-and-drop failures when the application runs with elevated privileges, and ImageChecker.vb adds file-type validation using magic byte signatures.

Added three new UI forms to the application: the About dialog (AboutForm) which displays version info, license, privacy policy, and user agreement links with dark/light theme support; the Color Extraction Result dialog (ColorShowDialog) which lists up to 10 dominant colors and allows users to copy individual hex codes or all colors at once; and a placeholder Developer Tools form (DevToolsForm). These forms are fully localized and adapt to the system theme.

src/Forms · high confidence

Added the ImageGallery control and its supporting GalleryImage model to manage local artwork. The component introduces keyboard navigation support for selecting images, allows switching between Normal, Dark, and High Contrast display modes, and provides pagination and badge visibility options for browsing large collections.

src/Components · high confidence

The application now includes several new web integration capabilities. It can fetch and display Afdian sponsorship data, including user details and plan history. On startup, it retrieves a random quote (Hitokoto) to display to users. It also checks for application updates by comparing the current version against the latest release on a specified server, and supports sending payloads to external webhooks.

src/Web · high confidence

The application project (FurryArtStudio.vbproj) is established targeting .NET Framework 4.7.2, bringing in a set of NuGet packages including Dapper, Krypton Toolkit, SQLite, and various System.\* libraries to support the application's data access, UI, and utility needs.
