<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** `textMetaContent.Inlines.Remove(textMetaContent.Inlines.LastInline)` throws when `Meta.GetExif()` produces no displayable metadata, because `LastInline` is null. Images without EXIF metadata therefore fail while the panel is being constructed instead of simply hiding the metadata icon.

**Triggers:** When the image has no EXIF entries, or all EXIF labels or values are empty.

**Suggested fix:** Only remove the trailing newline when `textMetaContent.Inlines.LastInline` is non-null, or check whether any valid metadata was added before removing it.

```suggestion
        if (textMetaContent.Inlines.LastInline != null)
            textMetaContent.Inlines.Remove(textMetaContent.Inlines.LastInline);
```

📝 Walkthrough

The changes update preview loading and toolbar behavior, image-viewer metadata controls and translations, PDF document loading and asynchronous rendering, and video plugin matching. They also update caption and glass-layer appearance.

Changes: Preview window and toolbar

Layer / File(s) Summary
Asynchronous preview requests
QuickLook/ViewWindowManager.cs, QuickLook/ViewerWindow.Actions.cs
Preview and reload requests now perform serialized plugin matching asynchronously. Request IDs prevent stale results from being displayed. The window shows a loading state while matching runs.
Toolbar auto-hide and window appearance
OPTIONS.md, QuickLook/ViewerWindow.Actions.cs, QuickLook/ViewerWindow.xaml, QuickLook/ViewerWindow.xaml.cs, QuickLook.Common/Styles/MainWindowStyles*.xaml, QuickLook/Controls/GlassLayer/GlassLayer.xaml
The HideToolbar option configures titlebar auto-hide and overlap. Caption reveal and hide behavior, animation timing, caption opacity, and glass-layer background behavior also change.

Image viewer controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Localized controls and metadata display
QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.ImageViewer/ImagePanel.xaml, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.ImageViewer/ImagePanel.xaml.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.ImageViewer/Translations.config
Copy and background tooltips use translations for 29 locales. The metadata tooltip displays EXIF content, with image width and height ordered first. The separate sample metadata text block and click handler are removed.

PDF loading and rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
PDF wrapper lifecycle and page metadata
QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.PDFViewer/PdfDocumentWrapper.cs
The wrapper accepts a path or stream and an optional password. It caches page counts and sizes and synchronizes refresh and disposal with rendering.
Document preparation and viewer loading
QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.PDFViewer/Plugin.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.PDFViewer/PdfViewerControl.xaml, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.PDFViewer/PdfViewerControl.xaml.cs
The plugin prepares and transfers wrappers to the viewer, including password-authenticated wrappers. The viewer resets page state, sizes from wrapper metadata, and initializes thumbnails when loading a document.
Background page and thumbnail rendering
QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.PDFViewer/AsyncPageToThumbnailConverter.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.PDFViewer/PdfPageExtension.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.PDFViewer/PdfViewerControl.xaml.cs
Page and thumbnail rendering run through background tasks and share a render lock. The viewer applies a rendered page only if its request and document are still current.

Video plugin matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Video file eligibility and priority
QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.VideoViewer/Plugin.cs
The plugin rejects directories and probes MediaInfo only for existing files. Its priority changes from -3 to -9.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 23810

The preview remains usable, but toolbar clicks and window focus can behave unexpectedly with these settings. These bounded issues warrant owner awareness or follow-up before merging.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 23810

The changes remain within the desktop application's existing preview and plugin boundaries. Request checks and rendering locks provide meaningful protection against stale work, but one PDF password-unlock failure path can lose document ownership before cleanup takes responsibility. Broader security impact was not established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · observed: The password-success callback now opens a document before sizing and window preparation, but transfers ownership to the viewer only afterward. An exception before that transfer leaves no deterministic cleanup path for the local wrapper; plugin cleanup reaches only the active control and prepared-document field. Previously, sizing disposed its temporary document before this window preparation. Native-resource retention is possible, although its duration and security consequences depend on library behavior not established here.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The supported resource-ownership concern affects the desktop preview process after a user unlocks a PDF and preparation fails before transfer. The inspected path does not establish additional privileges, cross-tenant exposure, or disclosure of decrypted content.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Selected paths pass through existing existence and extension checks before automatic plugin matching. PluginManager still chooses among loaded plugins using CanHandle. The video matcher additionally rejects directories and nonexistent files before native MediaInfo probing; this narrows that probe's eligibility rather than adding a new file source.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Generation checks prevent stale matching results from reaching the normal presentation handoff, but a running matcher can continue inspecting its original path and holds the matching semaphore until completion. Exceptions from individual CanHandle calls are contained by PluginManager; thread affinity and side effects across all plugin implementations remain unverified.

Disable hit testing while the overlapping toolbar is hidden.

With HideToolbar enabled, these assignments put the caption over the preview content. The opacity trigger in QuickLook/ViewerWindow.xaml hides the caption visually but leaves its buttons hit-testable. A click near the top of the content can therefore activate an invisible toolbar button, including Close. Disable toolbar hit testing at zero opacity and restore it when the toolbar appears. WPF does not remove opacity-zero elements from input handling. (learn.microsoft.com)

Preserve FocusWindowOnOpen when showing the loading window.

When BeginLoading shows a new window, it does not apply FocusWindowOnOpen. Later, BeginShow sees IsVisible == true and skips the only Activate() call. Previews opened with this setting no longer receive the requested focus. Apply the setting when the loading window first opens. (learn.microsoft.com)

Keep the toolbar visible while the pointer is over it.

When the pointer stops over a toolbar button, the one-second timer fires and hides the caption. The timer resets only on pointer movement, and this handler no longer checks whether the pointer remains over the caption. This also conflicts with the pointer-leave behavior documented in OPTIONS.md. Keep the caption visible while it is hovered, and hide it after the pointer leaves or the applicable inactivity condition is met. (learn.microsoft.com)
