HueForge v0.9.2.1 Release

Also the HfpThumbnailProvider for Windows Users

The release of v0.9.2 has gone fairly well, but as always there were bugs.
Today I am releasing v0.9.2.1 for Windows and MacOS after which my immediate priority will be Linux v0.9.2.1 and then I will go on to fix known issues in the Plugins

This update is NON-Critical for those not experiencing Crash bugs. But it does fix some unexpected behaviors so in general I think it’s worth updating to. Check out the Bugfixes and Updates to help make your decision.

I have also released a Windows Shell Extension to give previews for HFP files in File Explorer. You can download that from GitHub here and you too can have File Explorer windows that look like this:

And thanks to a helpful user, OneDrive folders (which I was unable to get working) now work as well. You can download the source code if you are so inclined and modify further/expand or you can just grab the 1.1.0 Release version and install it if you’d like.

You might notice that there is a still an unpreviewed project file. Old projects that don’t save images and thumbnails internally will not have a preview. Also it can take time for the full folder to update with the preview - but once it does, it should be quite quick.

Bugfixes for v0.9.2.1

• Fixed Crash bug in MacOS when loading HueForge with an active non-English Translation

• Fixed Crash bug/no STL when using Advanced Options to Save Project In Folder but not using Cutout Background or Split by Color.

• Fixed behavior around missing Output Folders

• Check to make sure a folder is writable and handle when it isn’t with an error message

• Automatically add the project folder when the option is checked if it isn’t already at the end of the path after clicking Ok.

• Automatically Remove the project folder when unchecking Save Project in Folder if the end of the path includes the project folder

• Ignore project Folders when Saving or Loading projects again so you don’t always have to navigate up a folder.

• Fixed crash on checking version when there isn’t a Beta build (in Qt 6.9.3)

• Fixed inconsistent rendering issues for Transparent layers

Updates

• MacOS Development required updating to Qt 6.9.3 for development in MacOS 26. So both Windows and MacOS have been updated meaning you need the entire zip folder for the update as all of the Qt plugins (separate from HueForge plugins) and DLLs have changed.

• Color Sorting order has been changed for Find Closest Filament. It should be more intuitive in the way it groups colors now.
