Closes #218.

Clips were all headed by their save time, so the library read as a wall of dates. Now a clip can carry a name and a star.

What this adds

  • Names. Click a clip's title on its detail page, or the Rename button, and type. Enter saves, Escape cancels, an empty name goes back to the date. The name heads the card and the detail page; the date moves to the line below so nothing is lost.
  • Favourites. A star sits in the corner of every thumbnail, filled and mint once starred, and the detail page has a matching toggle. A Favourites chip narrows the grid.
  • Search looks through names as well as game, date and file name.
  • Small things that follow from it: the upload title starts from the clip's name, a trimmed copy inherits "<name> (trimmed)", and deleting a clip forgets both.

Why the file on disk keeps its generated name

Renaming the file would break four contracts at once: the rewynd-*.mp4 filter that makes a file a clip at all, the millisecond stamp that dates it, the rewynd://clip/<name> deep link a save toast opens, and the upload history's identity. Windows also holds the file open while the spawned player has it. "Show in folder" still leads to the real file.

Both fields live in clip-meta.json beside config.toml, keyed by file name only, so a name survives a clip moving between game folders and a trim that rewrites the file in place. Same handling as the upload history: 0600, atomic write, exclusive lock. Its private writer now lives in paths.rs and both stores use it. Reasoning in docs/adr/0024.

Edits apply in memory first and are written behind the scenes, one write per clip at a time, so two quick stars cannot land on disk in the wrong order and a rescan arriving mid-write cannot show someone their own rename undone.

Not in this PR

Drag-to-reorder, from the issue's comment. The grid is chronological and grouped by game, both derived from the directory, so a hand-placed order has nowhere to live, and iced has no drag-and-drop to build it on. Favourites plus search cover finding your best clips. If it still appeals, "drag a clip into another game folder" is the version worth having, and deserves its own issue.

One known rough edge

While a rename is open, Escape cancels it wherever the keyboard focus is, so Escape pressed to leave the upload title field below also closes the rename. The field captures Escape itself, so there is no way to tell the two apart; Escape-to-cancel on an inline rename seemed worth more than the edge case. Say the word and I will drop it and leave only the Cancel button.

Testing

cargo build --workspace, clippy --all-targets -D warnings, fmt --check and cargo test --workspace are green. 18 new tests: the store (round trip, 0600, compaction, name cleaning, names that would hide or reverse text, trimmed-copy naming) and the library's state machine (filters, the title following a rename, the write queue, delete).

Checked against the release build on Wayland with real clips: names and stars render on the cards, a long name clips at the card edge instead of stretching it, and the detail page shows the name as its heading with the date kept below and the upload title pre-filled. The click and type pass (rename, Enter/Escape, starring from the grid, the Favourites chip, persistence across a restart) needs a hand on the keyboard.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 75a4d

A crash can discard recently saved clip state or upload history, and rare concurrent settings writers can silently remove a rename or favourite change. Resolve these persistence issues before merging.

Explanation

The PR adds favourite functionality that is not related to issue #218: favourite state storage, star controls, a Favourites filter, favourite-specific UI, and favourite tests. Shared metadata storage supports the rename requirement, but the favourite behavior has no stated connection to clip renaming.

All three addressed in 70beacc.

Edits under the lock. Right that a snapshot taken before the lock can drop another writer's field. Changes now travel as data, a ClipEdit of name, favourite or reset, applied to whatever the store holds once the lock is taken. The same edits are what a rescan replays over what it read, so a reload keeps both sides rather than pasting this window's whole entry over it. The pending queue per clip now holds the edits in flight and the ones behind them; two new tests cover a concurrent rename surviving our star and the order of a double press.

Durability. Added: the staged file is flushed before the rename and the directory entry after it, on unix. Worth the two syscalls here, since both stores are written when someone renames or stars a clip, never in a hot path.

U+061C. Filtered, and folded into the existing regression test alongside the other invisible characters.

Reasoning is in docs/adr/0024, updated to match.

Every card in the library was headed by the time it was saved, which
makes one clip look like the next. A clip can now carry a name and a
star: the name heads its card and its detail page (click either the
title or the Rename button to change it), the star sits in the corner of
every thumbnail, and a Favourites chip narrows the grid to the starred
ones. Search looks through names too.

The name is metadata, not the file name. Renaming the file would break
the rewynd-*.mp4 filter that makes a file a clip, the stamp that dates
it, the rewynd://clip/<name> link a save toast opens, and the upload
history's identity, and Windows holds the file open while the player
has it. Both live in clip-meta.json beside config.toml, keyed by file
name so they survive a move between game folders and a trim in place,
written 0600 under the same lock and atomic writer as the upload
history (now shared, in paths.rs).

Edits show up at once and are written behind the scenes, one write per
clip at a time so two quick stars cannot land out of order, and a rescan
arriving mid-write keeps what is on screen. Deleting a clip clears its
entry through that same queue. A trimmed copy inherits "<name>
(trimmed)", and the upload title starts from the clip's name.

Details in docs/adr/0024.
Three things the review caught.

An edit now travels as data (name it, star it, forget it) and is applied
to whatever the store holds once its lock is taken, instead of replacing
the entry with a copy taken before the lock. Two writers, one renaming
and one starring, no longer overwrite each other's field. The settings
window is normally the only writer, but its instance lock can fail open.
The in-flight edits are also what a rescan replays over what it read, so
a reload keeps both sides.

The shared private writer now flushes the staged file and the directory
entry before it reports success, so a crash straight after a save cannot
leave the store on its previous contents. Both it and the upload history
are written when someone acts, never in a hot path.

U+061C is a bidi control like the ones already filtered out of a name,
but it is a format character rather than a control one, so is_control
missed it.
