Application Changelog

We have updated the setup and launch scripts specifically for Windows users to provide a smoother installation and running experience.

• setup_windows.bat: Improved detection of Conda installations and added more robust error checking during dependency installation.
• launch_storyllm.bat: Corrected an issue where the storyllm_env environment might not activate automatically in some specific PowerShell or Command Prompt configurations.

Recommendation: If you installed StoryLLM on Windows before April 12, 2025, we recommend downloading the latest project files from your user dashboard (User Dashboard -> Active License -> Download Button). This will ensure you have the improved scripts.

Users on Linux are not affected by this specific script update.

This quick update addresses a few minor issues reported since our launch:

• Fixed: Resolved an issue where the segment editor occasionally failed to load preview images for very long story videos.
• Improved: Enhanced stability during the final video export process, reducing potential errors.
• UI: Minor adjustments to button placements in the generator tabs for better consistency.

Thank you for your feedback! We continue to work on improving StoryLLM.
