ImageSmasher 1.0.3 — Release Notes

[LXB Studio]

TL;DR: 1.0.3 fixes the broken image preview in the Convert and Batch views on Windows. If your thumbnails were appearing as broken-image icons in 1.0.2, this is the fix — auto-update picks it up on next launch, or grab the installer below.

🐛 What’s fixed

Image preview rendering. A subtle Windows-WebView2 quirk meant 1.0.2’s Content-Security-Policy was blocking the very local-file URLs the app uses to render preview thumbnails. Drag a PNG into Convert view in 1.0.2 → broken-image icon. Drag the same PNG in 1.0.3 → preview appears as expected. Same fix applies to the Batch view’s queue thumbnails and the side-by-side Compare slider.

For the technically curious: Tauri’s asset:// protocol resolves to http://asset.localhost/… on the WebView2 runtime, but 1.0.2’s CSP only whitelisted the https:// form. 1.0.3 covers both schemes on both img-src and connect-src directives, plus a regression test pins the shape so it can’t quietly break the same way again.

📥 How to upgrade

Auto-update is already wired in 1.0.2, so launching the app surfaces the 1.0.3 notification on the next check. Or download manually from the Download page. Your settings, conversion history, presets, macros, and license activation are preserved.

License keys carry over. Unlike 1.0.1 → 1.0.2, there’s no fingerprint-algorithm change here. Existing activations stay valid; no re-entry needed.

Thanks to everyone who reported the broken preview. — LXB Studio
