Vermillion Release

This release adds features and quality of life improvements to the GUI, introduces a CLI (command line interface) tool for Proxyshop which will soon evolve into the "headless" implementation of Proxyshop which has been long awaited, adds support for new SVG symbols, new settings, a new template, and a new template type!

Battle Templates

The Battle template type (introduced in March of the Machine) is now supported, with both a Normal and Universes Beyond treatment at-launch! We will probably also be modifying this template to create an alternative Planar template in the near future.

New Template: Classic Modern

Classic Modern is perhaps Proxyshop's first unique officially supported "custom" template that is not based on any existing MTG template. It was a product of brainstorming with other members of the community, and borrows textures from the Classic Remastered template (credit to iDerp) as well as vector frame techniques from Silvan and Chilli's vector templates (like many of our vector templates). It essentially marries together classic-looking MTG textures with a more modern frame design. It is an "Extended Art" template at launch, but in the future we plan to support a normal art frame setting. It supports Normal, Transform, AND MDFC cards so check it out!

GUI Improvements

The tools tab has received some new features, including a "targeted" showcase generation button and a bulk downscaling tool that will compress your rendered card images to reduce file size based on a quality setting and optimization toggle, you can also choose to downscale the resolution from 1200 to 800 DPI (since that's the max most companies will print at).

I've also fleshed out preview images to support separate previews for the same template on different type tabs, and added a click-to-toggle feature to switch between front and back side previews of Transform and MDFC templates!

The GUI also received some improvements to the startup checking system that checks that your fonts are installed, as well as general styling improvements with how tabs are displayed and some colors used in the app, as well as some GUI bug fixes!

Settings

We added a new setting for "Collector Promo Star". This star is found in-between the set and language code in the bottom left of the card, where there would normally be a dot. You can enable the promo star always, or only when Scryfall has marked the card promo, or just keep it disabled! Borderless Vector Template also got a new setting: Legendary Crown Texture, toggle this off to create a more flat minimalist Legendary crown similar to more recent borderless prints.

General Updates

Directory structure has been further simplified, new SVG symbols were added to support recent sets, performance improvements were made to Saga template execution time and time spent setting up the render queue, new environment variable implementation was introduced where you can define PS_VERSION in .env file (placed in root directory) to force a certain version of Photoshop to be used as well as a PS_ERROR_DIALOG variable you can set to True to enable Photoshop dialog popups when an error occurs during certain operations. In addition, there are a host of python-side improvements for creators looking to make a plugin, as well as a laundry list of bugfixes documented in the full changelog below. Enjoy the release!
