OpenConvert v1.4.0 Release Notes

We are excited to announce OpenConvert v1.4.0! This release brings powerful new features, including advanced optimization options, smart format suggestions, and a more polished user interface.

Major Features

✨ Format Auto-Detection & Smart Suggestions

  • Intelligent recommendations based on use cases (Web Optimized, Maximum Quality, Smallest File Size, Universal Compatibility).
  • Estimated output file size calculation before starting the conversion.
  • Contextual suggestions based on file characteristics, displayed with sparkle (✨) icons.

⚙️ Image, Video, and Audio Optimizations

  • Image Optimizations: Set custom width and height with various fit modes, rotate images (0-270°), and strip EXIF metadata for privacy.
  • Video & Audio Options: Fine-tune bitrates, resolutions (from 360p up to 4K), and frame rates (24, 30, 60 fps).
  • Batch or Per-file Settings: Apply settings across a batch or individually, with real-time previews.

📊 History & Comparison Enhancements

  • Comparison View: Side-by-side comparison of original and converted files, including visual thumbnails, file size percentage changes, and metadata differences.
  • Bulk Operations: Multi-select items in the History view for bulk deletion or export to CSV.
  • Re-convert Completed Files: Simply click the rotate (🔄) icon to reset a completed file to pending status and re-convert it with new settings.

🔄 Enhanced Progress Feedback

  • Real-time ETA calculations based on conversion progress.
  • Current operation display keeps you informed on the exact step (e.g., "Encoding video...", "Processing image...").
  • Accurate start time tracking for precise duration estimates.

UI & UX Improvements

  • Custom Alert Dialog System: Replaced native browser alerts with custom, themed AlertDialog components matching the app's dark aesthetics (complete with backdrop blur and smooth focus management).
  • Professional Checkboxes: Integrated shadcn-ui styled accessible checkboxes featuring smooth animations, keyboard support, and proper ARIA labels.
  • Progress Bar Fixes: Progress percentage overlays are now permanently visible, centered, and cleanly stylized over the progress bar.
  • Usability Enhancements: Introduced collapsible optimization panels, visual ring effects for selected history items, and an overall cleaner settings layout.

Technical Improvements

  • Type Safety & Architecture: Introduced comprehensive TypeScript interfaces for all optimization options, improved component modularity, and clean separation of concerns.
  • Performance Enhancements: Lazy-loaded thumbnails, efficient progress updates, and optimized memory management to ensure a smoother experience during batch operations.
