 **Please check** if a new branch is available and read the **changelog** to see the progress and current features of the program. The README might sometimes lag behind.
 
+OPTIMA-35 is evolving! The project is transitioning from a terminal-based user interface (TUI) to a graphical user interface (GUI) using Qt (via PySide6). First TUI version was forked to [OPTIMA-35 TUI](https://gitlab.com/python_projects3802849/optima-35-tui). I intend to keep the TUI version functional since it is usefull for headless setup.

 ## **Current Status**
-- While the program works and core features are available, there are currently no safety checks in place. For example, the program will write / save an image without verifying if a file with the same name already exists.
-- Additionally, while EXIF data/metadata should be implemented correctly, there is a possibility of overlooked issues. In the worst case, a program might throw an error when handling EXIF data, though this has not occurred so far.
+**The README is temporarily outdated** while the GUI version is under development. For the latest updates, please check the **changelog**—I always maintain a detailed log of changes.

 - **pyyaml**: To handle YAML files for configuration and settings.
 - **piexif**: To read, modify, and write EXIF metadata.
 - **Pillow**: For image processing.
-- **simple\_term\_menu**: For building the initial TUI interface.

 ### Installing Dependencies
 
 You can install the dependencies using `pip`:
 
 ```bash
-pip install textual pyyaml piexif pillow simple-term-menu
+pip install pyyaml piexif pillow pyside6
 ```
 
 Alternatively, you can use `conda` or its alternatives (`anaconda`, `mamba`, `micromamba`):
 
 ```bash
-conda install -c conda-forge textual pyyaml piexif pillow simple-term-menu
+conda install -c conda-forge pyyaml piexif pillow pyside6
 ```
 
-## Development Approach
-Compared to my previous project, [FTL Save Manager](https://gitlab.com/python_projects3802849/ftl-save-manager), this project emphasizes:
-
-- **Enhanced Modularity**: Classes and components are organized into separate files, making the codebase more maintainable and scalable.
-- **Improved Design Principles**: Focus on creating reusable and flexible code for future expansion.
-- **Slower Code Pushes**: Updates and code releases will be less frequent but of higher quality, ensuring stability and adherence to best practices.

 # Use of LLMs
