BREAKING CHANGE: Minimum Python version raised to 3.9
Implements Catosine#1

Adds keyboard shortcuts for efficient video frame navigation:
- Left/Right arrows: -1/+1 frame
- Shift+Left/Right: -FPI/+FPI (N frames)
- S: Select start frame
- E: Select end frame
- Ctrl+S: Save label

Uses wx.AcceleratorTable for global key capture without requiring
button focus.

Hello @jokebear-bot,

It's a jolly good one, but I want you to refactor the codes under src to split the two giant scripts into structured codes;
Additionally, I want to see adequate amount of in-line comments.

Thanks

@Catosine Refactoring completed as requested! 🐻

Changes Made

1. Code Structure - Split into Modules

Before:

  • app.py - 411 lines (monolithic UI code)
  • service.py - 283 lines (mixed business logic)

After:

src/vtlt/
├── __init__.py          # Package initialization
├── __main__.py          # Entry point
├── core/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── service.py       # Business logic (470 lines, well-organized)
└── ui/
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── layout.py        # Main window (472 lines)
    ├── components.py    # Reusable UI widgets (144 lines)
    └── menu.py          # Menu handling (201 lines)

2. Comprehensive Inline Comments

Added detailed comments throughout:

  • Module-level docstrings explaining purpose
  • Class docstrings with attributes and usage
  • Method docstrings with Args/Returns sections
  • Section comments dividing code into logical groups
  • Inline comments explaining complex logic

Example from service.py:

# =========================================================================
# Frame Navigation
# =========================================================================

def next_frame(self) -> None:
    """Advance to the next frame (+1).
    
    Moves the current frame position forward by 1 frame
    and displays it. Does nothing if at the end of video.
    """
    if not self._check_video_loaded():
        return
        
    if self.curr_frame < self.tot_frame - 1:
        self.curr_frame += 1
        self._display_current_frame()
    else:
        self.ui.update_error("Already at last frame")

3. Organized Code Structure

Each module now has clear responsibilities:

  • core/service.py - Video processing, frame navigation, label management
  • ui/layout.py - Main window layout, event bindings
  • ui/components.py - Reusable widgets (VideoDisplay, MessageBar, etc.)
  • ui/menu.py - Menu creation and handling

Let me know if any further adjustments are needed!
