This update focuses on **UX improvements** and quality-of-life features based on user feedback.
### New Features
** Pre-Flight Check**
Before encoding starts, a modal now validates your settings and shows estimated output size, encoding time, and disk
space. No more surprises!
** Test Encode**
Encode just the first 60 seconds of a file to preview quality settings before processing your entire queue.
** Queue Filter & Search**
Filter your queue by status (pending, completed, failed) and search by filename.
** Codec Warnings**
Get notified when your settings might cause inefficient re-encoding (e.g., H.264 → H.264).
** Track Profiles**
Save and reuse track selection rules. Includes 6 presets: German Only, English Only, German + English, Anime, All
Tracks, No Subtitles.
** Crash Recovery**
If the app closes unexpectedly during encoding, you'll be prompted to resume or restart on next launch.
** Post-Processing Hooks**
Automatically copy files to backup, run custom scripts, or send webhook notifications after encoding.
### Improvements
- Active encoding jobs are now visually highlighted in the queue
