Context

Adding files to an existing multi-file session could replace or select the wrong entry in several apps. CIC, CSC, and VT Resistance also exposed manual plot controls that no longer matched their intended result-review workflow.

Decision and rationale

Preserve the complete file list when new selections are appended and select a newly added item predictably. Remove obsolete electrochem controls instead of keeping buttons whose effect was ambiguous or redundant.

Changes

• CIC, CSC, VT Resistance, Batch Crop, FLIR Thermal, Focus Stack, Image Enhance, and Image Match patch bumped for appended file selections.
• CIC, CSC, and VT Resistance patch bumped again for manual plot-control removal.

• Preserved appended file selections.
• Removed electrochem manual plot controls that no longer matched the workflow.

User and data impact

Users could add another batch without losing files already loaded, across the listed electrochem and image apps. The electrochem workbenches became simpler; calculations and exported result schemas were unchanged.

Compatibility and migration

Existing loaded-file and result formats remained valid. Appended selections now preserved the active item, and the removed manual plot controls did not alter the underlying calculation options.

Validation

The file-selection commit added GUI regression coverage to every affected app. The control-removal commit updated the three electrochem GUI workflows and shared test helpers. Exact historical commands were not recorded.

Evidence

• Main commits 6348185e and 674d5d4b.

Known limitations and follow-up

The change covered app-level append handling. Later framework work unified the native file-selection behavior across platforms.
