The sidebar header had a hamburger beside the brand, and the account row
in the footer had its own ⋮ menu; both offered Preferences. The header
button sat next to the page's own tools and read as one of them.
The account row is now the main menu's button, as in Proton's own apps:
Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts and About, then Sign Out. The whole row
opens it, upwards, and F10 still does as the primary menu.
The launcher (pdfs-prompt) now follows the app's theme: the theme code
moved into a shared theme.rs, the prompt's stylesheet lives in
resources/prompt.css on the libadwaita palette, the Proton-purple accent
pin is gone, and every activation re-reads the Proton theme and open_with
settings so changes in the app apply without restarting the launcher.
The window is rebuilt in src/hud/:
- one list with Recent, Pinned and Best matches sections; a click
selects, a double-click or Enter opens, focus stays in the entry
- rows show a thumbnail, the name with its matched characters in bold,
location, sync badge, size and age
- a preview pane with a large thumbnail, type, size, modified date,
location and availability, plus Open (Enter), Show in Folder
(Ctrl+Enter, via FileManager1) and Copy Path (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+Shift+C)
- thumbnails from the freedesktop cache, local decoding (written back
to the shared cache) or the daemon, on two worker threads
- a history of opened files that fills the Recent section and adds a
frecency bonus to search ranking
- the mount check before opening a Drive file runs off the main thread
with a 2 s timeout, and Escape cancels a slow open
- rows can be dragged out as files
- the search debounce drops to 80 ms
New strings are translated in every catalog.
The Sync page gives each folder one card with its state, a Synced /
Online only switch and a menu for the rest; switching either way asks
first and the download prompt shows the free space on the disk.
Enabling, disabling and restarting the Proton Drive service ran
systemctl on GTK's main thread and froze the window. They now run in
the background, and every Retry button goes through one shared restart
helper.
Ten icons are bundled under resources/icons for glyphs no stock theme
has or that read ambiguously (sync, share, people, link, menu, map and
so on). A new test fails when the app or search prompt asks for a
symbolic icon that is neither bundled nor on a list checked against
Adwaita 50, libadwaita and GTK, or when a bundled icon is missing from
the resource manifest. The tray's sync icon, which Adwaita 50 no longer
ships, is now view-refresh.
Wording follows one glossary, recorded in docs/TRANSLATING.md: "Proton
Drive service" instead of "mount service" or "daemon", "Online only"
instead of "On-demand", "Proton Drive folder" instead of "mountpoint".
Dialog headings and buttons use title case and page titles match the
sidebar. Dates go through one formatter (app/dates.rs) and sizes
through i18n::human_bytes, and the cache label is translated.
The status tick stops while the window is hidden or minimized and runs
every fifth tick while it is unfocused, refreshing as soon as it gains
focus. "Sync complete" is announced only for large batches and only
when the window isn't focused. Smaller fixes: Empty Trash hides when
there is nothing to empty, copy buttons confirm with a check mark, the
sidebar status spins until the first report, and Photos moves Import
and Find Duplicates into a menu beside a labelled Select toggle.
All catalogs are updated and complete.
- The Proton accent preference becomes a whole Proton theme that also
holds against a GTK theme imported from gtk.css; folders get Proton's
purple folder icon while it is on.
- Places map markers show one of each town's photos with a count, and
zoomed in on a town every photo sits where it was taken
(Request::PlaceLocations). Photos taken on one spot are listed in a
popover. "Show on map" in the photo viewer goes to the Places map.
- The built-in map draws country borders, sea and land in their own
colours.
- An opt-in street map from OpenFreeMap (vector tiles drawn with cairo,
cached on disk up to 256 MB), with the OpenStreetMap credit on the map
and in About.
- Translations for all catalogs; changelog folded into 2.3.0.
Favorites, "not in an album" and the month move from separate pills and a
dropdown into a Filters popover next to the kind tabs. The kind tabs stay
in the row because their counts are worth a glance. The button carries a
badge with the number of active filters, kind included, and the popover
has a "Clear filters" action that resets everything in one reload.
Flipping a filter while a page was still loading used to drop the reload,
leaving the timeline answering the old filter. The request is now queued
and the stale page is discarded.
The sidebar header and the login page used the generic folder-remote-symbolic
icon. Ship the app icon from packaging/ in the GUI resources and use it in
both places, so the in-app brand matches the launcher even when the app runs
uninstalled.
Restructure the app shell per docs/UI_UX_PLAN.md phase 1:
- Every destination page gets its own AdwHeaderBar via page_frame(), with
page actions packed into it and a busy spinner beside the title.
- The sidebar is regrouped (files, then a Sync section) with a primary menu
(Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts, About) and a footer showing sync state,
storage quota and the account with Sign Out.
- The Settings page is gone: startup, folder location, appearance and cache
options move into an AdwPreferencesDialog (Ctrl+,); transfers move to the
Sync page; developer details move into About's debug info.
- Inline CSS moves to a gresource stylesheet using libadwaita colour
variables. The system accent is the default; the Proton purple accent is
an opt-in preference (new `proton_accent` config key, defaults off).
- Add a keyboard shortcuts dialog (Ctrl+?).
libadwaita requirement stays at 1.5, so Ubuntu 24.04 remains supported.
- Move Google Takeout import out of Settings; Photos owns it, and the
Takeout page's back button returns there.
- Trash from the file browser is Undo-only (no confirm); F2 on a
multi-selection explains why it does nothing.
- Ask before sign-out, rejecting an invitation, removing someone's access,
removing a public link, and switching a folder to on-demand.
- Clearer offline wording ("Make available offline" / "Make online only")
with dedicated offline, online-only and upload symbolic icons; the pin row
is hidden for folders.
- Search hits report whether a file is cached, so search results show the
offline badge.
- Activity log: readable Empty Trash / link entries, distinct icons, and
error/warning styling for failures and conflicts.
- Proper singular/plural counts instead of "item(s)" / "archive(s)".
- Name earlier versions by save time instead of revision id; capitalise
the public link role; stop-syncing uses a stop icon, not a trash can.
- Label the Photos Upload and "Show on map" buttons; toast when a
thumbnail build finishes; the versions button follows the mount state.
- Mode switches and device mutations reload both sync pages.
