- Find… button lists serial ports and paired Bluetooth devices (bluetoothctl
on Linux, PnP device properties on Windows) and fills in the connection
- Startup check against the releases API; update bar with Update now /
Release notes / Later / Skip this version; manual check via the version
link. Standalone builds download the new executable and replace
themselves via a small handoff script, then relaunch
- README: connection setup and updater notes
- label_app.spec: one-file build bundling fonts, emoji data, ttkbootstrap
themes and (on Windows) fribidi.dll so Pillow can shape emoji sequences
- build-windows.ps1 helper; assets/icon.ico app icon
- Fonts resolved from assets/fonts first, then system dirs, so the app
runs from a bundle or a checkout on any OS
- Bump Pillow pin to 12.3
- Items (text blocks, emoji) are placed freely: click to select, drag to
move, arrow-key nudge, rotate to any angle, resize, duplicate, fit/center
- Emoji picker now covers the full emoji set via emoji-data-python
(~1,900, 9 categories, name search, hover shows the name); thumbnails
are rendered by Pillow with Noto Color Emoji so ZWJ sequences and flags
display exactly as they print
- Designs save/open as JSON; last design restored on launch
label_app.py: label size presets, multi-line text with auto-fit / bold /
alignment, tabbed emoji picker (rendered via Noto Color Emoji,
gamma-darkened and dithered for the thermal head), live 1-bit preview,
save PNG, print in a background thread. Settings persist in
~/.config/niimprint-label/.
main.py is the earlier minimal GUI it supersedes.
