v1.2.0

What's New

New

• Backup Wizard: redesigned backup flow into 5 steps (Assistant, Mode, Selection, Name, Result) with a horizontal progress stepper
• Assistant metadata in archive list: backup records now show assistant product type and support assistant-based filtering

Improved

• Partial backup semantics: workspace is treated as core required content; optional choices are now focused on top-level state directories
• Selection UX: core required directories are clearly separated from optional directories, with improved multi-column layout for long lists
• Real-time estimate visibility: file count and size estimates are shown in wizard flow before backup starts
• Multi-language coverage expanded for all newly added backup wizard and assistant-filter strings across supported locales

Fixed

• Archive preview file tree rendering after backup completion now aligns with expected directory structure
• Version mismatch state is now explicitly shown in list view for quick compatibility review

What's New

New Features

• Delete Backup — Permanently remove a backup from disk with a two-step confirmation dialog
• Show in Finder — Reveal the backup folder in Finder directly from the detail view

Improvements

• Reorganized toolbar — List-level actions (Refresh, Import, Backup) are now in the sidebar header; archive-level actions (Finder, Export, Restore, Delete) are in the detail toolbar for a cleaner, more contextual layout
• Shorter button labels — All buttons now use single-word labels to reduce toolbar clutter
• Localized version warnings — Version compatibility warnings are now fully localized across all 9 supported languages (previously hardcoded in Chinese)
