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.

A popover is sized and placed again when its parent's layout manager
allocates it. Context menus were parented to the outermost list view,
and the keyboard menu to the ScrolledWindow; neither has a layout
manager, so a menu kept the size it was first given and often opened
too short, with a scrollbar.
The host is now the first widget from the list view up that has a
layout manager, which still keeps menus out of list items and the theme
rules that style their insides.
The Sync page gets Overview, Folders and History views under a switcher in
the header. Overview holds the status card, conflicts, transfers and the
queue; Folders holds the folder list, with Add Folder and a popover that
explains the sync modes; History is the former Activity page, which leaves
the sidebar. A banner in Folders and History points back to Overview when
changes fail or conflict.
Activity hides save-by-rename temporaries (pdfs-core gains
syncignore::is_scratch_name), with a toggle to show them again. Runs of
similar events fold into one expandable row, "Show Older" pages further back
through what the daemon keeps, and titles and details are translated
sentences built from the daemon's targets instead of its raw text.
Conflict copies say when they were made.
Computers lists every device in one group, this computer first with a
"This computer" pill; its row opens Sync's folder list. Another computer's
row browses its backup read-only in the shared file list, and its menu
offers Browse Files, Restore, Rename, "Continue This Backup Here…" (the old
identity adoption, now explained in its dialog) and Remove. Subtitles read
"last backup" or "no backups yet", and an empty list links to the download
page. DirEntry derives Default for the browse view's synthesized entries.
The sidebar shows badges for sync problems and waiting invitations, polled
every five minutes away from their pages. All catalogs are updated and
complete.
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.
Themes style the insides of list items with descendant selectors, and
those reached through a popover parented to a grid tile, spacing out
every menu section. Menus now live under the outermost list view.
Context menus are PopoverMenus built from gio::Menu through a small
ActionMenu helper, so they are keyboard navigable and read as menus. My
Files follows the item order of UI_UX_PLAN.md §6, adds Open With…, Copy
Link and Versions…, and gains a background menu on empty space and the
Menu key / Shift+F10. The photo tile menu and the ⋮ row menus on Shared
by Me and Computers use the same helper.
