Migration Notes

What Was Preserved

  • Static frontend design from ui/index.html, including the rose color palette, compact header form, list layout, collapsed summary previews and pagination.
  • Frontend behavior from ui/renderer.js: model loading, local UI preferences, Whisper toggle, auto-translation toggle, per-entry language tabs, delete confirmation, progress updates, expandable summaries and thumbnail external links.
  • Tauri command surface: get_models, get_summaries, summarize_video, delete_summary, translate_summary, open_external and open_file.
  • Local runtime model: SQLite history in the OS app local data directory, media under that data directory, Ollama on localhost:11434, and Python helpers for YouTube metadata, transcripts, Whisper, summaries and translation.
  • Release bundling path: a PyInstaller-built backend sidecar plus copied ffmpeg and ffprobe resources under src-tauri/resources.

Electron Reality Check

No active Electron app was present in the source snapshot used for this migration. There was no Electron main process, preload script, ipcMain/ipcRenderer bridge, BrowserWindow setup, package.json or Electron build configuration. The working desktop shell was already Tauri 2, so this folder packages that actual implementation as a standalone Tauri project rather than inventing behavior from missing Electron files.

Important Runtime Details

  • The Tauri identifier remains com.victorgiers.youtube-summarizer so OS-level app data and history stay aligned with the existing app identity.
  • run.sh and run.bat now change into this folder before creating the Python environment or launching Cargo.
  • The frontend still uses window.__TAURI__ because withGlobalTauri is enabled in src-tauri/tauri.conf.json.
  • Development falls back to local Python scripts when no bundled backend sidecar exists.

Imported Legacy Data

  • The old Electron database from /Users/giers/Tools/victors-tools/youtube_summarizer/summaries.db was copied into the Tauri runtime data directory at /Users/giers/Library/Application Support/com.victorgiers.youtube-summarizer/summaries.db.
  • A copy also exists at summaries.db in this folder for local migration reference.
  • Thumbnail files from the old data/ folder were copied so historical entries keep their images. Audio and transcript files were not copied because the Tauri runtime clears those artifact references on startup.
