Detailed Update Information

HTML Widgets

When an HTML file has a tool_ prefix (e.g., tool_xxx.html), Zdir will automatically render and load it. This allows you to create custom HTML widgets and integrate them into Zdir. For example, I used AI to create a QR code generation tool. You can view the effect and source code here: https://soft.xiaoz.org/#/html/tool_qrcode.html?type=file

Quick File Description Addition

You can now click the "+" button in the file preview page to quickly add file descriptions, eliminating the need to manually create name.md files. (Note: File descriptions use Markdown syntax.)

Video Playback Prompt Optimization

When encountering unsupported video formats, Zdir no longer displays an error. Instead, it provides a friendly reminder suggesting the use of an external player.
