Media management was a huge time sink, and I’d rather spend that time generating than searching for that one specific file. genvault helps with that.genvault is a small local web app for Windows that catalogs your AI-generated videos, images and sounds. It reads the generation data embedded in your files (prompt, model, seed, sampler, LoRAs …), makes everything searchable and lets you sort your work into projects. Your files stay on your disk and are never uploaded anywhere.Current version: 2.4.2 · Windows 10/11 · MIT License · vibe coded with ClaudeGithub repo: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/fatberg-slim/genvault">https://github.com/fatberg-slim/genvault</a><h1 id="changelog">Changelog</h1><h2 id="2.4.2">2.4.2</h2><ul><li>Fix: "Preview failed: unsupported operand type(s) for \*: 'NoneType' and 'float'"** in the release module, and the same failure when rendering.

When a workflow is embedded, Copy workflow JSON still gives you the complete original data.

genvault — a local media vault for your AI generations

## 2.4.2 — 2026-10-31- **Fix: "Preview failed: unsupported operand type(s) for \*: 'NoneType' and 'float'"** in the release module, and the same failure when rendering. It happened for clips whose embedded ComfyUI prompt contains certain special characters (e.g. "Á", many emoji, some CJK characters): genvault read ffprobe's output with the Windows codepage instead of UTF-8, the decoding failed silently and the clip appeared to have no size, length or audio. This bug existed in all earlier versions.- Fix: prompts with such characters are now read at import. The same problem made genvault skip the complete metadata (prompt, LoRAs, model, size, length) of these videos. Files imported before this version stay as they are; their fields can be filled in by hand.- ffprobe errors are now reported with ffprobe's own message instead of being silently ignored; the release module falls back to the size stored at import.## 2.4.1 — 2026-10-31- Fix: batch files use Windows line endings again. <code>setup.bat</code>, <code>update.bat</code> and <code>genvault-tray.bat</code> had Unix (LF) line endings, which cmd.exe can misread around <code>goto</code> labels. They now use CRLF, and <code>.gitattributes</code> keeps it that way.- Development: integration checks <code>tests\run_tests.py</code>) and a release builder <code>tools\build_release.py</code>) are now part of the repository; see the Development section in the README.
