Version v0.23.0 introduces UI controls for indexing images and migrates the indexer from a queue‑based system to a pipeline coordinator.

Why it matters: The new Index all, Force reindex, and stop buttons in the collection debug UI give developers immediate control over image indexing; replacing the queue‑based subsystem with a pipeline improves reliability and responsiveness for media format handling.

Full changelog

Added

Improve indexing controls in the collection debug UI

The collection debug UI now includes an Index all action, a Force reindex option to overwrite existing indexed data, and a stop button for running indexing tasks. This makes it easier to restart a full indexing pass or cancel long-running indexing work directly from the UI.

HEIC/HEIF, GIF (static) and MOV via FFmpeg

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container), HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format), GIF, and MOV (QuickTime) files are now supported when FFmpeg is available. These formats, commonly used by iOS devices and other platforms, are decoded using FFmpeg. The extensions .heic, .heif, .gif, and .mov are now included in the default configuration.
