The share dialog gets Link settings under an existing link: role, password
and expiry apply at once and keep the URL. The daemon fills in the options a
change keeps from the link as it stands, and refuses to keep a password it
cannot read rather than dropping it. pdfs public-link update does the same
from a terminal, and pdfs members shows the expiry.
Details shows a folder's size and item count as Proton Drive counts it,
trash included, and pdfs du prints it. Both are refused offline and for a
folder that is not on Drive yet.
Needs proton-drive-rs with update_public_link, get_folder_size and
PublicLink::custom_password.
Rows, toasts and status page descriptions parse their text as markup by
default. Shared item names, inviter addresses, device names, link URLs,
paths, EXIF values and daemon errors went in unescaped, so a name with
`&` showed as an empty row and other names were drawn as markup. Those
rows and toasts now use plain text, and status page descriptions are
escaped (B232).
The daemon has kept recursive folder pins for a long time, but the app
offered "Available offline" for files only. The context menu, the
details pane and the selection bar now offer it for folders too, and a
pinned folder carries the offline badge in the browser and the launcher.
A folder pin used to download the whole subtree inside the control
request, so a large folder outlasted the client's 120 s read timeout,
and every pinned file was read into memory before it was cached. The
daemon now records the pin, answers at once and downloads on a
background thread as a job the tray and the app show, stopping when the
folder is unpinned or the daemon stops. Pins of files and folders both
go through fetch_content, which streams to disk and skips fresh blobs.
A folder pin is refused while offline instead of looking kept.
A file kept only because a folder above it is pinned has no pin of its
own, and unpinning it silently did nothing. ListDir now reports
pinned_by_folder; the app shows such an entry as available offline with
the toggle greyed out, and the daemon refuses the unpin with a message
naming the folder. Unpinning a folder no longer evicts files that are
pinned on their own.
Requested on Reddit.
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.
The app, the tray and the search prompt route every user-visible string
through GNU gettext in the `pdfs` text domain, with named placeholders and
plural forms. po/ holds the template, update and build scripts, and catalogs
for de, en_GB, es, fr, it, nl, pl and pt_BR. Preferences gains a Language row
that overrides the system language from the next start (config `language`).
Packages compile the catalogs into /usr/share/locale and the desktop files
carry translated descriptions and keywords. docs/TRANSLATING.md describes
the workflow.
Pin the split view's sidebar so the wide breakpoint no longer opens the
pane by itself, and show a "No item selected" state instead of closing
it when a navigation clears the entry. The pane follows the header
toggle alone, which also tracks an overlay closed by a click outside.
Revealing the pane on the first click of a double-click reflowed the files under the pointer, so the second click missed and the folder did not open. The pane now follows a header toggle, Alt+Enter and a Details menu item.
An adw::Breakpoint at 1000sp uncollapses the details OverlaySplitView, so
the pane sits beside the files instead of over them. The pane gains
Sharing and Versions sections, filled from ListShare and ListRevisions
when an entry is selected, with Share…, Copy Link and Versions… buttons.
The grid and column view wrap one MultiSelection instead of one each, so
a selection survives switching layout, and both views enable rubberband
selection.
- 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.
