Batch Feature Implementation - Complete (v2.0.0) ✅

Complete transformation of DIM-Creator into a batch processing system with multi-build support, session management, intelligent extraction, and sequential packaging.

✅ What's New

Multi-Build System

  • Build management: Create multiple builds (Build 01, 02, 03...) for a single product
  • Build inheritance: Build 01 is parent, Build 02+ inherit fields (Store, Product Name, Prefix, SKU, Tags, Image)
  • Field overrides: Child builds can customize inherited fields
  • Auto-promotion: Deleting Build 01 promotes Build 02 to parent
  • Drag-drop reordering: Reorder builds with automatic renumbering and parent promotion

Session Persistence

  • Auto-save: Session persists during runtime with 5-build backup rotation
  • Smart exit: Choose "Save & Exit" (preserve work) or "Clean & Exit" (delete all) on close
  • New Session: Fresh start button with store/prefix preservation
  • Restore state: Reopens last selected build and editor state

Sync Controls

  • Sync from Build 1: Pull latest metadata from parent (for Build 02+)
  • Sync to All Builds: Push changes to children with 7 field-specific options (for Build 01)
  • Override management: Clear overrides when syncing with confirmation dialogs

Intelligent Extraction

  • Smart detection: Skips dialog for simple cases (1 archive), shows for complex (2+ archives or templates)
  • Three-list interface: Content Archives / Template Archives / Ignored Archives with drag-drop reclassification
  • Heuristic ordering: 5 patterns detect part numbers automatically (_1of3, _Part01, trailing numbers, etc.)
  • Multi-build creation: Creates or appends to builds based on archive order

Batch Packaging

  • Pre-validation: Review all builds before packaging with status indicators
  • Dual progress: Overall progress (X of Y builds) + individual build progress
  • Three modes: Package All / Package Selected / Package Valid Only
  • Result summary: Detailed results with file sizes, errors, and clickable output paths
  • Graceful cancellation: Stop mid-batch, marks remaining as skipped

📂 New Structure

Documents/DIMCreator/
├── Builds/Build001/Content/, Build002/Content/, ...
├── Sessions/session.json, backups/ (last 5)
├── Config/ (stores, tags, DAZ folders)
└── Logs/

🔧 Code Quality (67 Improvements)

  • PEP 8 compliance, specific exceptions, symlink protection
  • Timer management, shared cleanup helpers, negative lookbehind regex
  • Thread safety, race condition fixes
  • Terminology consistency ("Build" throughout), resource leak fixes
  • Store/prefix preservation, comprehensive error handling

🎯 Breaking Changes

  • Workspace: DIMBuild/Content → Builds/BuildXXX/Content
  • Session auto-saves (no manual save)
  • Exit requires choice (Save/Clean) when work exists
  • Extraction dialog for 2+ archives or templates
  • "Generate" → "Package All" + "Package Selected"
  • Copy Template Setting reworked to Enable Template Detection

🎉 v2.0.0 Highlights

For Users:

  • Multi-build workflow for complex products
  • Session preservation with controlled cleanup
  • Smart extraction handles archives automatically
  • Batch packaging with visual progress

Ready for Release 🚀

@H1ghSyst3m
Add multi-build workspace and batch packaging
a1b3651 
Introduce a multi-build workspace and batch packaging workflow plus supporting infrastructure and UI updates.

Key changes:
- Add session & build management (session.py, build_manager.py) to persist multiple builds under Documents/DIMCreator/Builds/ (Build001, Build002, ...). Auto-create and backup session.json with restore and cleanup utilities.
- New dialogs for extraction, progress, validation, results, and exit (dialogs/*) to support multi-archive extraction and batch operations.
- UI updates in app.py and widgets: build list panel, per-build controls (add/delete/reorder/check), sync controls (sync from/push to children), visual status badges, larger window, and updated keyboard/toolbar behavior.
- Batch packaging flow: selection, validation dialog, BatchPackagingWorker integration, BatchProgressDialog, destination organization (flat or by-date), per-build packaging status and summary dialog.
- Extraction improvements: classify embedded archives, template detection (renamed setting enable_template_detection), heuristic ordering, ability to assign archives to specific builds, and improved temp-file handling.
- Per-build content handling: get_build_content_dir/get_build_dir helpers, cleanCurrentBuildFolder, content validation per build, build-level field overrides and inheritance from Build 1.
- Save debounce timer, automatic session saves and backups, save-on-change for many input fields, and safer cleanup (read-only removal handling).
- Numerous utility and packaging changes across packaging_utils.py, extraction_utils.py, settings, utils, widgets and others to support multi-build behavior.

Also update README and CHANGELOG to document v2.0 features (multi-build, batch ops, session persistence, extraction upgrades, sync tools).
