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 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.
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 Places view gets a Grid/Map toggle. The map shows a bubble per town,
sized by its number of photos, over the outline of the world's land. Towns
whose bubbles would overlap merge into one that counts all their photos, and
clicking it zooms in until they part; clicking a single town opens it like a
card does. Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, and the buttons zoom in,
zoom out or frame every place again. Hovering names the town, or the first
few towns of a merged bubble.
No tile server is involved: none that is free has terms allowing an app like
this one to use it. The map is drawn from Natural Earth's 1:50m land
polygons (public domain), trimmed and simplified by
scripts/natural-earth-land.py into crates/pdfs-gui/data/land.txt, in Web
Mercator. The About dialog credits Natural Earth.
PlaceInfo carries the town's latitude and longitude; a daemon older than the
map sends none, and its towns are left off the map.
The first timeline refresh after the Places update reads the metadata of
the whole library, and until it is done the Places view has nothing to show
and no sign that anything is happening.
The refresh now records how many photos it has resolved out of how many,
counting photos read by an earlier pass as done. Response::Places carries
it as mapping (absent from older daemons, which parse as None). The Places
view shows "Mapping photos: 120 of 480" with a bar while it is set, asks
again every two seconds, and loads the new places once the pass ends. An
empty listing during the pass says the photos are being mapped rather than
that there are no places.
Photos now know where they were taken. proton-drive-rs 0.7.0 reads the
Location from a photo's extended attributes, and the timeline refresh stores
it with the photo (schema v33). The migration marks every photo unresolved
once, so the next refresh backfills locations from node metadata without
downloading anything.
Towns are looked up offline: pdfs-core bundles GeoNames' cities15000 table,
trimmed by scripts/geonames-cities.py, and files each photo under the
nearest town within 50 km. The new PhotoPlaces and PlacePhotos requests list
the towns and page one town's photos.
The Photos page gets a third view, Places, with a card per town (newest
photo, town, country, count). A place opens in the gallery like an album.
Country names come translated from the iso-codes catalogs, now an optional
dependency. The About dialog credits GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).
