- Fix template rendering by storing rendered HTML in variable before writing
This resolves subdirectories not appearing in navigation despite being
correctly detected and included in template variables
- Add missing template variables (paths.work_dir) to gallery config
- Add CGI refresh handler for web-based gallery regeneration
- Improve PDF export functionality with better error handling
- Add ESC key shortcut documentation for exiting selection mode
- Enhanced export manager with proper dependency checking
Fixes issue where new subdirectories were detected but not displayed
in browser navigation due to incomplete template rendering.

🗂️ Code Organization:
- Move Python orchestration code to orchestration/ folder
- Move validation utilities to tests/ folder
- Move documentation to docs/ folder
- Separate metadata functionality into dedicated module
🔧 Infrastructure:
- Add automatic asset copying to web directory
- Fix asset path resolution for nested directories
- Update template to use dynamic asset paths
- Add MetadataConfig class with inheritance options
📚 Documentation:
- Add comprehensive metadata usage guide (METADATA_USAGE.md)
- Add implementation documentation (METADATA_IMPLEMENTATION.md)
- Include example metadata files in examples/
- Add metadata validation utility script
🐛 Bug Fixes:
- Fix breadcrumb navigation and JavaScript functionality
- Resolve asset path issues in nested directories
- Update template imports for modular CSS/JS structure
This commit introduces a flexible metadata system that allows users to add
rich metadata to plots and folders using YAML or JSON files, with full
hierarchical inheritance and plot-specific overrides. The project structure
is now better organized with clear separation of concerns.
Key improvements:
- Add intelligent file update checking with 30-second buffer to avoid unnecessary operations
- Implement efficient PDF to PNG conversion (only when source is newer)
- Add smart file copying (skip if target is up-to-date)
- Create proper folder structure using plot_root/source_name pattern
- Improve template with better text handling for long plot names
- Add text wrapping, truncation, and hover tooltips for plot names
- Remove unnecessary directory cleaning for true incremental updates
- Fix title display issue (was showing '.' instead of 'Gallery')
- Add comprehensive logging showing what's processed vs skipped
Performance benefits:
- Subsequent runs are significantly faster (only processes changed files)
- Reduces ImageMagick conversions and file I/O operations
- Maintains file system timing robustness with buffer delays
UI improvements:
- Better handling of long filenames with word wrapping
- Constrained text areas prevent overlap between thumbnails
- Hover tooltips show full names when truncated
- Responsive grid layout maintained
