Features in this release:
  • Main interface — fixed-size window (500 × 300 px) with a dark navy (#001223) background, file selection, output directory selection, custom output filename entry, and a one-click Convertir button.
  • OSL button — opens an in-app dialog displaying the Open Source Licenses NOTICE, crediting the pdf2docx (ArtifexSoftware) team under AGPL v3.0.
  • Help dialog (Ayuda) — opens an in-app dialog with usage instructions sourced from the bundled help file.
  • Background conversion — the PDF-to-DOCX conversion runs in a dedicated Thread with asyncio to keep the GUI responsive during long conversions.

  • Favicon — custom .ico icon shown in the window title bar.
