q0idmation v0.1.0-beta.4.1

this is a substantial update to beta.4: expanded fla compatibility, scene and library organization, timeline improvements, edit mode in place, performance work, and the polish overhaul.

polish overhaul

shared vector icons replace many text buttons across the timeline, document tabs, library, scene controls, and rig controls. the icons do not depend on special font glyphs; hover hints explain their actions.
menu shortcuts and tool hints show the user's actual configured bindings.
the layer-name column can be resized, reduced to an icon-focused view, and reset by double-clicking its divider. its width is saved between launches.
long scene, layer, tab, and replacement-card names use the available space and show their full names in tooltips.
clearer active tabs, unsaved-change indicators, drag handles, and compact playback controls.
search fields have a clear button and escape handling. rename controls accept enter, cancel with escape, and reject blank names.
frame picker and replacement cards share their appearance and adaptive preview backgrounds.
clicking a breadcrumb inside nested symbols now returns to the selected level and restores the parent frame.
removed placeholder characters from effect and rig controls and clarified several tool hints.

scenes, library, and symbol workflows

scene switching and renaming in a compact list in project properties.
library folders, including imported animate library folders; replacement previews are grouped by folder.
Replace q0rg is available from the stage context menu and instance properties. replacements belong to the current keyframe, create a keyframe when needed, and carry forward into later keyframes.
replacement fitting keeps proportions while preserving the previous instance's visual scale as closely as the artwork bounds allow.
the replacement window opens at the current symbol, highlights it, and opens its folder.
Spread between layers and Spread between keyframes distribute selected objects in their depth order through the context menu.
cross-project copy and paste carries the required symbol/asset dependencies and preserves object stacking order. ordinary object paste uses the destination layer.
quick horizontal and vertical flips, alt-drag duplication, and Copy Symbol in the context menu.
library selection supports shift and ctrl workflows; project tabs can be reordered.
selecting a stage object follows its layer in the timeline; shift selection toggles only the clicked object. inserting a keyframe keeps the selected objects.
edit mode in place keeps the parent artwork visible around the symbol being edited, using the instance's transform.
project creation remembers custom dimensions, fps, and frame count; keyboard shortcuts can be customized and reset.

timeline and masks

layers can have independent timeline lengths. removing selected frames shortens and shifts only the affected layers, including empty spans; cells after that layer's end are beyond cells.
Shift+F5 and the frame context menu use the layer-local removal action. deleting complete time columns remains a separate operation.
F5 inserts hold frames on selected layers. selecting beyond cells can extend several layers with F5 or F6.
distant keyframes do not shift existing keys. extending a timeline by one keyframe can extend layers that ended at the same point, while shorter layers stay shorter.
frame and layer context menus show actions appropriate to the clicked area.
ctrl-click frame selection, multiple-layer movement, lock-all layers, timeline hiding, and layer-specific outline controls.
onion skin follows the active layer.
mask layers have their own icon, collapsible contents, group visibility, and a separate artwork/preview control.
while mask artwork is visible, its contents stay visible without clipping for editing. hiding the artwork previews the clipped result. the artwork control uses a stencil icon distinct from the normal eye.
nested symbols, library previews, and exports retain the composited mask result. supported masks use the vector/gpu path; unsupported combinations use the software fallback.

fla/xfl import and file compatibility

xfl-based fla import now carries vector artwork, symbol instances, text, media, scenes, folders, playback settings, camera information, and timeline masks, with diagnostics for unsupported content.
imported groups are converted into q0rg symbols so their nesting and transforms are retained.
import corrections cover folder ordering, out-of-range playback frames, zero text sizes, invalid filter values, and degenerate gradient transforms.
text positioning and camera/background handling have been improved.
legacy binary fla containers now have an initial recovery path. this is partial support: recoverable vectors are imported as static artwork; legacy timeline animation, symbol placements, text, and bitmap media are not mapped yet.
multiline on-canvas text entry, transformed text editing, and deselection by clicking outside the text box.
canonical project save/parse-back fixes and updated format readers in q0player.
current file versions are q1s v32 and q0s v31. update both q0editor and q0player; older builds may reject files written with the new fields.

performance and canvas correctness

reduced repeated scene traversal, geometry construction, bounding-box work, and off-screen library work on large projects.
more targeted render-cache invalidation after edits, including eraser operations, and reduced clipboard dependency snapshots.
fixes for stale artwork after dragging: rendered objects, selection bounds, and transform anchors are synchronized.
performance snapshots remain available through F4 or its configured replacement.
these changes target expensive editor paths; performance still depends on the project's visible content and effects.
