December 2024: Implemented foundational UI and data-access improvements across the macOS VLC UI, delivering a cohesive library experience and improved content discovery. Key infrastructure included VLCLibraryCollectionView and migration of library XIBs and segment controllers to use it, enabling consistent collection-view handling across the library. Enhanced media source collection view with item highlight, multi-select support, and robust input-item access, improving selection workflows and data access patterns. Improved supplementary detail view scrolling/visibility during expansion and refined end-spacing for smoother navigation, leading to a more intuitive detail experience. Performed targeted UI cleanup and stability work across VLCLibraryWindow and related components, fixed input-item add behavior and context-menu handling for multi-select, and modernized API usage (e.g., replacing deprecated selectRow: usage). These changes collectively improve user-facing reliability and performance, reduce risk of UI glitches during rapid updates, and bolster developer velocity for future enhancements.
