To add takeovers, you had to pick one image at a time. A set of slides took many trips through the file picker. Now you can select many images in the picker, or drop them from Finder or Explorer onto the Takeovers section in Assets.

Screen.Recording.2026-10-13.at.14.39.08.mov
  • The renderer still does not name file paths. The preload gets the paths of the dropped files. Main makes sure that each path is a PNG, JPEG or WebP file and gives back capabilities, as it does for the picker. If one file is not an image, the app refuses the full drop and shows the reason.
  • One batch can have 32 images at most. Each capability lives for 15 minutes, the longest time the backend allows, so that the last image of a full batch can still import.
  • The app imports the images one at a time. If one image fails, the app shows its error and continues with the next image.
  • A placeholder tile shows for each image until its import ends, so you can see which files are still to come.
  • The Takeovers section now fills the height of the Assets page, so you can drop anywhere below the other sections.

Validation: typecheck and formatting pass. Lint shows only the existing hook warning. I tried picking and dropping images in the dev app on macOS. I did not try it on Windows or Linux.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Import up to 32 screen takeover images at once using the file picker or by dragging and dropping files.
    • Supported formats include PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP.
    • See pending images while they’re being imported. Imports continue if one image fails.
    • Unsupported files and drops containing invalid files are rejected with a message.
    • If the connection drops during an import, you’ll be told how many images may need to be added again.

Adding takeovers one file at a time through a picker was slow for a set of slides.
Dropped paths stay behind main-issued capabilities, so the renderer never names a file.
A batch import takes seconds per image, and nothing on screen said which files were still coming.

📝 Walkthrough

The desktop app now supports importing multiple screen images through the picker or file drops. It validates dropped paths, authorizes image capabilities, tracks imports in progress, and displays pending selections in the takeover gallery.

Changes: Batch screen-image import

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared image contract and IPC channels
apps/desktop/src/shared/screen-image-files.ts, apps/desktop/src/shared/backend.ts, apps/desktop/src/shared/electron-ipc-contract.ts, apps/desktop/src/shared/renderer-security-policy.ts, apps/desktop/src/shared/electron-ipc-contract.test.ts
Shared image extensions, batch limits, capability TTL, and refusal messages define the image-selection contract. The API and IPC channels now support multiple selections and dropped-image authorization.
Image selection and dropped-path authorization
apps/desktop/src/main/index.ts, apps/desktop/src/main/screen-image-drop.ts, apps/desktop/src/main/screen-image-drop.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/preload/dropped-file-paths.ts, apps/desktop/src/preload/dropped-file-paths.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/preload/index.ts, apps/desktop/vitest.config.ts
The picker returns an array of selections. The preload converts dropped files to ordered paths, and the main process validates paths before issuing capabilities. Preload tests are included in Vitest discovery.
Sequential imports and pending state
apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/lib/takeover-import.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/lib/takeover-import.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/hooks/use-studio.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/hooks/studio-provider.integration.test.ts
The importer processes selections sequentially, tracks pending selections, and continues after individual import failures. Studio exposes picker and drop actions and updates the screen list when no newer list event supersedes the import.
Drop interaction and pending-import display
apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/components/takeover-screens-section.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/components/takeover-screens-section.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/components/panel-section.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/components/tabs/assets-tab.tsx
The takeover section accepts file drops and shows pending imports as tiles. Its labels and empty-state text refer to multiple images. PanelSection forwards native section props, and the assets page stack receives min-h-full.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to af052

Multi-image takeover import looks mergeable. Two minor concerns remain open: leftover capabilities after a partial authorization failure, and the connection-loss message possibly reporting an uncommitted pending-import count. Both are low impact and can be handled as follow-ups.

…mporter

Main now imports takeovers during sessions through one fenced importer,
so batches and drops reuse it rather than a second in-flight guard.

A tile removed under the pointer never reports the drag leaving it, so the count stayed up.

- Around line 10503-10525: Update the revision guard in the
`screenImporter.current.run` flow so each imported image is checked against the
`screenListEventRevision` value captured immediately before its own
`screens.importImage` request, rather than a revision captured once for the
batch. Ensure `onImported` compares against that request’s revision so later
images are not discarded when earlier imports advance the revision.

One revision for the whole batch let an earlier image's list event discard every later reply.
A failed batch imports nothing, so capabilities issued before the failure would only linger.
An optional selection hid which failure the caller got; two callbacks make it explicit in the types.
The rest of the batch was dropped with no word, so the user could not tell which images were missing.
An empty drop did nothing, a stat error blamed the file type, and failed rollback revokes left no trace.
…ments

A search for the backend constants now finds the batch limit, and the reset says what it repairs.

Comment thread apps/desktop/src/renderer/src/hooks/use-studio.tsx
Main gained banners (plan 186). Conflicts kept both sides: the takeover
multi-pick and drop IPC next to banners:pick-image (139 invoke methods),
and the provider reset clears both pending takeovers and the banner
importer. The banner importer stays one image per pick, so it now owns
the single-selection lifecycle instead of borrowing the takeover one,
which imports a batch.
