A new tray-resident companion application is added to handle Android folder sharing, replacing the previous Share Manager functionality embedded in the main suite. The app enforces single-instance operation via a named mutex and inter-process communication (WM\_COPYDATA) to allow the main Fast Media Sorter to wake or control it. It runs silently in the system tray by default, with an option to open the manager window at startup, and provides a context menu for sharing folders, viewing status, and changing interface language. The application targets .NET 10, supports high-DPI scaling, and includes an autostart migration to ensure the new executable is launched at logon.

The tools directory now includes a comprehensive suite of PowerShell scripts to streamline local development and release processes. Build-Installer.ps1 and Build-OfflineRelease.ps1 enable the creation of standalone, offline-ready Windows installers and ZIP packages, with configurable options for OCR model bundling (fast vs. best quality) and compression levels. A new Build-ServerInstaller.ps1 script specifically packages the Server edition (Share Manager and SFTP worker) as a lean, service-hosted installer. Release.ps1 orchestrates the final release pipeline, enforcing pre-flight checks including a local build verification and the execution of Run-AllTests.ps1, which now covers unit tests for the Viewer (net48 + net10), Share Manager (net10), and the Go SFTP worker. Additional utilities like Clean-Build.ps1 manage build artifacts, Prepare-OcrOfflinePayload.ps1 handles OCR model caching, and Build-SitePages.ps1 generates localized marketing pages from site-copy.json.

The Share Manager now ships as a standalone companion application featuring a redesigned main window that prioritizes compactness and readability on smaller screens. The interface is organized into collapsible sections for phone access details, internet reachability status, and usage statistics; these sections remain visible in a collapsed state by displaying a live one-line summary (such as the current address or connection verdict) so users can monitor key information without expanding the window. The layout is fully DPI-aware, ensuring that controls, copy buttons, and text labels scale correctly and remain unclipped at high display scaling settings. Additionally, the app includes a dedicated Internet Access Form that provides step-by-step port-forwarding instructions, a self-test button to verify external reachability, and a link to a detailed offline HTML guide pre-filled with the user's specific network values.
