What is new in FineTerm 0.0.5

## 🚀 New Features

### 📸 Clipboard Image Support
The Clipboard Manager has been upgraded to handle more than just text:
* **Visual History:** Images copied to your clipboard now appear in the history list with high-quality thumbnail previews.
* **Image Filter:** Quickly find graphical assets by toggling the "Images Only" filter, hiding text entries.
* **Optimized Storage:** Large images are stored in a separate encrypted blob file to ensure the list remains snappy.

### 🧲 Live Terminal Snapping
FineTerm now behaves like a true extension of the Terminal:
* **Magnetic Attachment:** The FineTerm window now "snaps" to the left side of your active Terminal window.
* **Live Tracking:** As you move or resize your Terminal window, FineTerm follows it in real-time.
* **Smart Visibility:** The list automatically appears when Terminal is focused and hides when it's not.

### 📝 External Editor Integration ("Edit in...")
Need to tweak a script or config before running it?
* **Shift + Enter:** Pressing `Shift + Enter` on any clipboard item now opens it in your favorite text editor (VSCode, Sublime Text, TextEdit, etc.).
* **Auto-Detection:** The app automatically detects installed editors and allows you to select your preferred one in Settings.
* **CLI Optimization:** Special support for Sublime Text's `subl` CLI for faster opening.
