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.
The app and the tray stop polling. pdfs-core adds Request::Subscribe: the
connection stays open and carries Event lines (status, transfers, and
Changed with a Topic), with a heartbeat while quiet. In pdfs-fuse, an
EventHub gives each subscriber a mailbox, code that changes something
publishes its topic, and a sampler publishes the status, transfers and sync
progress when they differ. The app follows the feed on one thread, paints
status and transfers as they arrive, and reloads the page on screen when its
topic changes, including after changes made with the pdfs CLI. A hidden
window keeps the changes and catches up when focused. Front-ends fall back
to polling a daemon that predates subscriptions. Refresh buttons leave the
page headers; F5 and Ctrl+R still reload from the server.
Photos gets a scrubber overlaid on the right edge of the timeline in place
of the slider and scrollbar. It shows the years, appears when the pointer
comes near or the timeline scrolls, names the month under the pointer and
jumps to it on drag. Upload becomes a split button whose menu holds the
Google Photos import. Tiles are pooled per row and rebound instead of
rebuilt, hover scales the thumbnail to 1.02 without a shadow, and tiles
lose their tooltip.
On libadwaita 1.8 or newer the app uses AdwSpinner, AdwToggleGroup,
AdwButtonRow and AdwShortcutsDialog, and keeps look-alike stand-ins on
older releases (src/compat.rs, widgets/compat.rs). It still builds against
libadwaita 1.5 and picks at run time, creating the newer widgets by class
name through GtkBuilder, so every package gets them. PDFS_STAND_IN_WIDGETS
forces the stand-ins.
The Sync and share-link icons draw in full again: GTK drops group
transforms from symbolic icons, so their coordinates are baked into the
paths. All catalogs are updated and complete.
