Lay the timeline out in justified rows. Each photo keeps its own shape,
clamped between 1:2 and 5:2, and every row but a section's last spans
the width to the pixel. "Square Tiles" in the page menu restores the
even grid, and the Year zoom stays square. The zoom level and the
tile shape persist in a new `photos_view` config section.
Move Timeline/Albums/Places into the header as an icon-and-label
switch that shows only icons in a narrow window. The filters take a
single row whose kind tabs scroll sideways.
Selection mode follows GNOME apps:
- the header shows "N selected" and Cancel;
- an ActionBar along the bottom offers Favorite (or unfavorite), Add
to Album, Remove from Album, Save Copies and Move to Trash;
- each section heading gets a check that selects the whole section.
One function, sync_header, decides the header for the page, an open
album or place, and selection mode.
The heading of the section at the top of the grid floats over the
grid. Favorites get a star badge, and video placeholders a video
glyph. New bundled icons: pdfs-photos, pdfs-album and pdfs-slideshow.
Upload takes several photos and videos at once, and files dropped on
the timeline upload too. The media type comes from the MIME database,
except that a recording-sized .ts counts as video.
The viewer's details panel moves into an OverlaySplitView that lies
over the photo below 800sp.
My files, Shared, Trash and the launcher now ask the daemon for video
thumbnails, not only image ones. Grid tiles with a video thumbnail show
a small play badge.
A `.ts` file is a video from 1 MiB up and a TypeScript source below
that. One rule in pdfs-core (`is_video_file_name`) decides it for the
file icon, the thumbnail gate, the launcher icon and preview, and the
opener's `@media` / `@text` classes. The daemon also checks the MPEG-TS
sync byte before it runs ffmpeg, so a large TypeScript bundle gets no
retries.
A video thumbnail no longer downloads the whole file into memory (B283):
- the server thumbnail is tried first, at no content cost;
- files up to 24 MiB come whole;
- larger ones bring a 16 MiB head, plus the MP4/MOV `moov` box when it
lies past the head, into a sparse staging file that ffmpeg reads.
The 256 MiB cap is gone. Without ffmpeg, a video answers "no thumbnail"
at once. The folder thumbnail build includes videos.
`pdfs completions <shell>` prints a completion script for bash, zsh, fish,
elvish or PowerShell, built on clap_complete's dynamic engine: on Tab the
shell calls `pdfs` back, which completes commands and options and also the
values the running service knows, each with a description: paths in My
files, synced-folder and queue ids, computers, trash, albums, items shared
with me, invitations, bookmarks, conflict copies, and a file's versions or
a share's members and public link once its path is typed.
A completer that gets no answer from the service within two seconds offers
nothing rather than hanging the prompt. Listings that ask Proton are kept
for 30 s in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (0600), so repeated Tabs do not wait again.
Completion is triggered by PDFS_COMPLETE rather than clap's generic
COMPLETE, because the same binary runs the daemon.
Share roles are now checked by the CLI before the request. The package
recipes install the bash, zsh and fish scripts via packaging/completions.sh.
Every image upload decodes the whole file to build its thumbnail, and
nothing limited how many decodes ran at once. With a queue of large
photos all 16 drain workers decoded together; 100-megapixel JPEGs held
about 9 GiB, swapped the machine, and the watchdog killed the daemon on
every restart.
Each decode now takes a share of a process-wide 512 MiB budget, sized
from the encoded length and the header's pixel count. Phone photos still
decode side by side; a photo larger than the budget waits and runs alone.
Records B280.
A daemon killed by the watchdog left its FUSE mounts dead. A dead mount
answers ENOTCONN, which create_dir_all took for an absent directory, so
every restart failed with EEXIST and retried forever without reaching the
code that clears stale mounts. mount_once now goes through
prepare_mountpoint, which clears a dead mount first.
Startup on a large account (70 s hydrating 48k nodes) plus the supervisor's
first ping one full period later outlasted WatchdogSec=120, so a restart
that did mount was aborted again. The daemon now asks for a 10-minute
watchdog before startup, the supervisor pings on its first tick, and the
unit's own timeout is restored once the control socket answers.
Records B279.
Schema 45 separates attachments from device backups so stopping sync or
changing mode cannot trash My files folders or evict their local data.
Exclude attachments from device profiles and validate device restores.
Verify attached roots before each pass and cover both local views,
concurrent edits, removal guards, and root loss across daemon restarts.
Refs #77
`pdfs sync list` and `pdfs devices list` printed the last sync as epoch
seconds, such as `synced: 1793570850` in issue #46. Both columns now go
through `last_synced`, which formats it like `pdfs activity` and prints
`never` for a folder that never synced. `--json` output is unchanged
(B278).
The service can run while its mount fails on every try, for example over
a folder with files in it (B277). The page then said "Can't open your
Drive", but the sidebar status read "Not connected / Proton Drive isn't
running", which was wrong. paint_disconnected now reads the same failure
record the pages read, once the service is known to be running, and
shows "Can't open your Drive" with the reason. A reply from the daemon
that lands while it looks wins.
The account run of `scripts/fuse-acceptance.sh --journal-check --durability`
on 2026-11-01, against a build of main, passed 464 cases with 103 skipped.
Its eight daemon restarts left no panic in the journal (B276), and
`journalctl -p warning` listed every WARN line the run logged (B258).
The wipe guards refused a pass only when every synced path was missing
on one side. One surviving file cleared them, so a half-mounted disk,
a restored backup that brought back one file, or a script that emptied
the folder and wrote one back made the next pass trash everything else
on Drive, and on every computer syncing the folder (B270).
Both guards now also refuse when nine in ten or more of the tracked
paths of a folder with at least 20 are missing at once. A smaller
folder still stops only on a total loss, since an ordinary cleanup can
delete most of it. The reason now gives the count.
B270 stays partly fixed: a smaller loss still goes through, and the
app does not yet offer to confirm the deletions.
FUSE mounts over a non-empty folder without complaint, so files already
in the My files folder were hidden under the mount: not uploaded, and
back only once the service stopped, so they looked deleted (#67, B277).
- pdfs-core: new `mountpoint` module. `not_empty` lists what is in a
folder (hidden entries count); `mounted_fs_type` moves here from the
CLI so the daemon can use it. `MountFailure` gains an optional
`not_empty` field, which older readers ignore.
- pdfs-fuse: `mount_with` checks the folder before the root fetch and
before any worker starts. A dead mount is cleared first; one of our
own live mounts is left to `spawn_session`, as before.
- pdfs-cli: `cmd_daemon` records the folder in the failure record. The
refusal backs off and retries like any mount failure, so emptying the
folder is enough.
- pdfs-gui: the status pages explain the refusal, and a dialog offers
to open the folder or choose another one, once per run of failures.
The folder picker refuses a folder with files in it.

Refresh Cargo.lock to the newest compatible versions and move three
crates to their next minor release:
- parking_lot 0.12 -> 0.13
- rusqlite 0.40 -> 0.41 (newer bundled SQLite)
- gettext-rs 0.7 -> 0.8
gettext-rs 0.8 marks setlocale as unsafe; the three calls in i18n.rs
run before any thread starts, the same precondition the set_var calls
next to them already state.
rustc 1.99 deprecates AtomicX::fetch_update in favour of try_update
(stable since 1.95, below the 1.96 minimum), which failed
`clippy -D warnings` on main. Rename the two uses so clippy passes
without `-A deprecated`.
The open Dependabot alerts for zip (< 9.0.5) and rustls (< 0.23.46)
are already resolved on main by #69 (zip 9.2.0, rustls 0.23.46).
