Queueing a folder's create left the workers asleep until their 30 s idle
poll; every other enqueue woke them. A file's create still waits for the
release that attaches its bytes.
A lookup in the root publishes the "Shared with me" entry only if the root
listing did not change while its plan was read, and answered EAGAIN when it
had. Right after a restart the root is listed again as the first lookups come
in, so a write could fail with "Resource temporarily unavailable".
ensure_children now takes the listing again, up to four times.
When the read-back after an upload went unanswered, the drain let go of
the staged blob without caching it. A partial write opened next had
nothing to fill its gaps from and queued an incomplete revision, so the
write open after it was refused with EIO.
The bytes are now cached under the size and mtime the tree still has,
which is the base the next write takes. Their SHA-1 stands in for the
revision id the read-back did not bring, so that write chains onto the
upload and does not fork a conflict copy of itself.
A file or folder made on the mount used to get a minted `local~<ms>-<n>`
placeholder. It now gets `local~<lid>`, a function of the row it is given
first (`Db::add_local_row`), so the stand-in never changes and always leads
back to the row, and through it to the real uid once the node lands.
`Db::lid_of` reads it without a lookup.
Migration V41 rewrites the placeholders still stored to their row's
stand-in: the row and its node_json, its children, the ops on it or into
it (uid, parent, sidecar uid, a rename's original parent), and its pins.
Step 6a of the plan for 3.0.0 phase 3.
B154 is a regression from the B153 fix: after a failure on a held name the
op woke the ops waiting for it, but the database cannot see a create on the
wire, so the op was due again at once and spent its waits in milliseconds.
No wake while another create on the wire holds the name.
B155: a revision upload that reached Drive but lost its answer left the
file at a revision this daemon never heard of, and the retry kept the write
as a conflict copy of itself. A complete write whose bytes the remote holds,
by size and SHA-1, is sent again instead.
The fake Drive gains hold_reply_to_next_create and
lose_reply_to_next_revision for the two new sim tests.
Adoption asks again under the tree lock whether a rename is queued, and
writes the node row through the lock's outbox, so a rename made while
the create landed is no longer undone in the tree and the row.
An op that finds its name held fails as NameHeld: it backs off by the
minimum without doubling, and wakes the waiters for its name again once
its failure is recorded, so a trash that landed in between is not missed.
A retried create now adopts the file its lost answer made when Drive's
SHA-1 matches the staged blob, not only when the file is empty. A delete
after a sent create keeps the op as a trash that finds and trashes the
node that create may have made; a new create of that name waits for it.
The simulation's settle now reads the log, so known damage is explained.
With changes through the mount queued, `pdfs rename` and `pdfs move` went
straight to Drive ahead of a rename the mount still had queued, which then
landed and put its name back: the account run's B121 case on every on-demand
mount. They are now queued whenever the mount would queue, or the node has
anything queued, and rewrite a still-queued create's target.
The B113 acceptance case no longer requires creates to reach Drive at once;
under local-first they are queued and the moves rewrite them.
Schema 39 adds pending_op.lid and parent_lid, backfilled from nodes. Every
op queued or retargeted gets both, and a create gets its row before it
is queued. The claim reads a parent's uid through parent_lid, and a
landing folder rewrites the ops made inside it by local id instead of by
its placeholder string. Ops queued against a row Drive listed follow it
when it is merged into the landing one.
create_folder, trash_nodes, the twin listing and the uploads waited on
Drive without a limit, so one call that never answered held a drain
thread for good. They now give up after INTERACTIVE_CALL_TIMEOUT, and
uploads after that plus their size at 32 KiB/s; a missed deadline reads
as RequestTimeout, so the op backs off like any lost link.
one_client_on_a_slow_link runs the Wi-Fi faults without outages and has
to drain within each settle. a_thousand_files_drain_as_fast_on_wifi_as_on_lan
times 100 folders and 1,000 files on LAN and Wi-Fi; it only prints for
now and runs when PDFS_SIM_MEASURE is set.
A change Drive refuses because the storage is full, access was taken away,
its folder is gone, a folder limit is reached or the change was rejected
used to look like any other failure until six attempts had passed. The
drain now sorts the refusal into an issue and stores it on the queued op
(schema 38), so it needs attention at once in the app, tray and CLI. The
change stays queued and is retried; nothing is deleted.
The queue listing carries the issue and whether the op has file content.
ExportPendingOp copies that content to a new file: the Sync page offers it
as an Export button next to each issue, and the CLI as
`pdfs sync export <id> <dest>`. `pdfs sync issues` lists what needs
attention, and `pdfs sync queue` shows the issue per change.
docs/MILESTONE-3.0.0-STATUS.md tracks what is left for 3.0.0.
A file renamed away from a.txt while its create was on the wire, and a new
a.txt made after it, could both land on the first file's node: the second
create found a fresh, empty a.txt and took it for its own unanswered create.
The first file's rename then carried the second one's bytes away.
A create now leaves alone a node that another create is making under the
same name, and one the tree already knows. It waits for the name like for
any other queued change (docs/BUGS.md B147).
- B144: when Drive says a name is taken but nothing local holds it any more,
the rename, move or create is sent once more under the wanted name before
falling back to a conflict name. The trash that freed it could land between
Drive's answer and the check.
- B145: the park sweep no longer drops a parked create whose node row is not
written yet. It waits a minute, and keeps open files, before taking a
missing row for a deleted file. The account run's B70 check failed with
EBUSY on this.
- B146: a rename queued while an upload's read-back is on the wire is kept;
the tree no longer takes back the name Drive still had.
A new folder, a new file, a rename or a delete through the mount no longer
waits for Drive: it is recorded locally, the call returns at once, and the
drain sends it as it does offline. `"local_first": false` in config.json
brings back the old path for this release.
Fixes found by the simulation runs on the way:
- B129: a file deleted while its first upload is on the wire is trashed once
the upload lands.
- B132, B140: files made in a new folder survive a restart; a landed folder
hands its queued children over in the stored node too.
- B138: a create waits for the rename or trash that frees its name.
- B139: a file closed while its first upload lands keeps its last write.
- B141: a rename a worker holds stays queued, and the newer one waits behind
it instead of racing it.
- B142: a rename of a file whose create lands meanwhile goes to the uid Drive
gave it instead of answering EBUSY.
- B143: a create whose read-back fails as the link drops is adopted before
the next op for it is sent, so its next write is not a conflict copy.
On-demand sync folders kept their own State, which the drain, the
event applier and the sweeps had to visit one by one (B74). Every mount
now serves from the primary's tree. A session keeps only its root, which
the kernel knows as inode 1, and its notification channel; work that
changes the tree tells every mounted session. Size upgrades become
daemon-wide, and moves compare mounts by root instead of by state.
A node's inode is now derived from its row's local id instead of a
per-run counter, so the same node keeps the same inode across restarts
and across every place that interns it. A lid handed out before the
row is stored reads as no node.
A rename of a node whose create is still queued rewrites the create's
target, but the drain had already copied the op. When the create
landed, the row was deleted unread and the rename was lost (B136).
finish_create now learns where the create was sent and where it landed,
and queues a rename of the real uid when the row has moved on since.
adopt_real_uid keeps the tree's name and folder while that rename is
queued. A landed folder's children also stop naming its placeholder as
their parent in memory, which put the placeholder back on their rows.
Found by the seeded simulation runs (docs/BUGS.md).
- B122: a rename across folders goes to Drive as one move-multiple
request, so a sibling holding the new name in the old folder no longer
fails it with EIO. The drain uses the same request.
- B123: a second write open on a file just written no longer fails with
EIO. An empty file counts as complete, our own renames, moves and
online creates record their echo, a duplicated event is skipped, a
rename keeps the file's mtime while its revision stays, and a landed
upload is cached before open handles are rebased onto it.
- B124: a node put back after a failed replacing rename leaves `hidden`
and its folder is listed again, so it shows in the mount.
- B131: a landed create is read back with the same short retry as an
online create, and its bytes are cached under the real uid before an
open handle is repointed at it.
- B135: an online rename settles the tree through the state guard, so
the database has both folders unlisted before the reply. A lookup
right after it no longer rebuilds the destination without the file.
The simulation runs no longer tolerate B122 or B131.
Phase 1 of docs/MILESTONE-3.0.0.md, without a change in behaviour.
- Own sealed revisions live only in the own_sealed_rev table. The
in-memory map in front of it is gone, so revision_conflict gives the
same answer before and after a restart.
- A queued rename records the node's original name next to its original
parent, and keeps both across renames that replace the row. The drain
logs when Drive has the node neither where the rename found it nor
where it takes it.
The SDK's NodeUpdated event carries no revision id, so echoes of our own
changes stay recognised by the self-change timer.
The runs did not find B105 with its fix reverted. Drive lists a trash
later than the round trips take, so the drain never saw its own
client's delete while it still held the write.
The FakeDrive can now hold the next read of one node on its way to
Drive. A new profile, one-client-deletes, writes a file Drive holds,
waits for the drain to read the node back, deletes the file, and lets
the read go on once Drive shows the trash. A conflict the drain keeps
because a client's own file was trashed now fails the run as a false
conflict. With B105's fix reverted, seeds 1 and 2 fail on it.
Outside the step, such a conflict is counted as B134 when the copy is
named after the file: the drain looked after an online unlink had
trashed the file on Drive but before it dropped the write. Seed 3 of
three-clients came up with it once.
Half the time the step makes the file again before the read goes on.
That is B133: the new file's write takes the op id the delete freed,
and B105's check finds it. The runs count it.
The runs also count B132, an ENOENT after a restart that restored
queued ops, in a seed that lost the link. Seed 4 of one-client-flaky
failed on it. The known-bug matchers now also see what was logged
before the call.
The second half of the simulation harness in docs/MILESTONE-3.0.0.md
section 8.2. A run starts one or more real FUSE daemons on a shared
FakeDrive. Each client owns a folder `c<n>` that only it writes. A seed
then draws syscalls through the mounts, link flaps, restarts, pauses and
settles. Every syscall is checked against a model of the client's tree as
it happens. After the last step every link comes up and the run checks
no loss, POSIX behaviour, no false conflicts, convergence and liveness.
- sim::model is the POSIX model: the tree, what each call should answer,
and how it changes the tree.
- sim::run has the profiles: one client on a good link, one on a flaky
link with flaps and restarts, and three clients. PDFS_SIM_SEEDS sets
how many seeds each runs, and PDFS_SIM_SEED replays one.
- sim::watchdog catches a call that never returns. It takes every
thread's stack in the process, since no tracer can stop a thread
blocked on a FUSE request. It then aborts the run's FUSE connections
and writes the stacks next to the run's state.
- The daemons' logs at INFO and above are kept, so a known open bug is
told apart from a new failure. Known bugs are counted, and the seed ends
where the mount leaves the model behind. PDFS_SIM_KNOWN=fail fails on
them instead.
- A restart retries opening the database while the last run still holds
it.
- The FakeDrive restamps a node's modification time on a rename or move,
as Drive does (B113).
The runs mount FUSE, so they are ignored by default. Run them with
`cargo test -p pdfs-fuse --lib sim:: -- --ignored --test-threads=1`.
Test-only; no behaviour change.
mount() becomes a thin wrapper over mount_with(), which takes the
DriveApi to reach Drive through and a Host. The daemon's Host is
unchanged: stopped by SIGTERM or SIGINT, installed at the same point as
before, and indexing the user's home. A simulated daemon is stopped over
a channel and skips the home index, so several can share one test
process without walking the developer's home.
The account quota moves onto DriveApi. It was the only call outside the
trait that marks the link lost, so a simulated daemon would have gone
offline on it; the FakeDrive now also models a full account
(InsufficientQuota).
sim::daemon starts one daemon on its own state directory with a real
FUSE mount, and a smoke test (ignored; needs /dev/fuse) checks a local
write lands, a remote write arrives, and a write made offline lands once
the link is back.
The first half of the simulation harness in docs/MILESTONE-3.0.0.md
section 8.1. FakeDrive is one shared server; each simulated daemon reaches
it through a FakeClient that implements DriveApi and carries its own link
state, latency, faults and an SDK-style entity cache.
The faults are the ones the account runs met: listings that lag (B118,
B48), renames and moves refused for a stale name hash because the cache
is only emptied by events (B111, B121), names that refuse a replace (B13,
B104, B106), events delayed, duplicated, reordered and echoed (B70, B105),
requests that stall, fail, or change Drive and lose their reply (B107,
B121), and non-uniform block sizes (B84, B85, B87).
Test-only; no behaviour change.
`Core` held a concrete `ProtonDriveClient`, so no test could make Drive
answer late, answer stale or not answer. This is the first step of
phase 0 in docs/MILESTONE-3.0.0.md.
`DriveApi` (`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/drive.rs`) covers the calls the sync
core makes: listings, events, creates, uploads, downloads, renames,
moves, trashes and restores. `ProtonDriveClient` implements it by
forwarding. `Core::drive` holds it, and every call of those methods now
goes through it. Sharing, Photos, devices, invitations and public links
stay on `Core::client`.
The trait takes readers and writers as trait objects, and
`impl dyn DriveApi` puts the client's generic signatures back, so call
sites read the same. Block reads go through `RevisionRead` instead of
the SDK's `RevisionReader`, which only the SDK can construct.
No behaviour change.
The drain retired an upload's op first, and only then read the node back
and linked the staged blob into the content cache. For that one round
trip, the status reported an empty queue for a file that wasn't cached
yet, so anything that waited for an empty queue before reading the file
could still need the network. The account run of 2026-10-03 hit it over
a slow link: "regression B119" failed in the same second the upload
landed.
`Core::landing_uploads` now counts an upload from just before its op is
retired until its bytes are cached. The status adds it to
`pending_uploads`, and reads the queue before the count, so it always
sees the upload in one of them. A drop guard uncounts it on every exit
path.
The op still goes first. An op restored after a crash would re-send a
revision this daemon hasn't recorded as its own yet, and
`revision_conflict` would keep it as a conflict copy of the user's file.
The SDK caches each node, including the name hash it sends with the next
rename or move, and only an event evicts it. Renames and moves didn't
update that copy. So after a rename, the next change to the same node
went out with the old name hash, Drive refused it as out of date (422),
and the retry kept sending the stale hash until the event feed came
round, up to 10 seconds later.
- Every remote rename and move goes through `Core::rename_remote` or
`Core::move_remote`. Both drop the SDK's copy of the node after a
successful change and before each out-of-date retry, so the retry
sends the current hash.
- A plain move was not retried at all, so a move right after a rename
failed with EIO through the mount and with "out of date" from
`pdfs move`. It now retries like a rename.
- The drain's combined move-and-rename also drops the SDK's copy once
it lands.
- A rename that also changes folders through the mount replies only
once both halves have landed. When the move fails, the file keeps
its new name in the source folder, the tree is told so, and the
rename reports EIO. A dropped link still queues the change.
B111's cause in docs/BUGS.md is corrected to the same SDK cache. The
acceptance case "regression B121" renames and moves a file at once
through the mount and through `pdfs`, and checks names and bytes.
- B114: `pdfs rm`, `pdfs rename` and `pdfs move` tell each kernel
session that the old name is gone, so it stops resolving at once
instead of for up to 30 seconds (`Core::forget_everywhere`,
`Core::relocate_everywhere`).
- B115: `pdfs ls` and the app's file browser wait up to 10 seconds for
the listing's size fetch, as `stat` does, so they show a file's real
size instead of its encrypted one.
- B116: trashing a folder also drops the creates queued in its
subfolders. A parked one stayed queued with its bytes, and a due one
would have landed in the root.
- B117: `pdfs move` and `pdfs rename` move the node in each mount
instead of forgetting it, so its queued upload keeps its path in
`pdfs sync queue` and is not put off once after the resume.
- B118: when a create or mkdir reads back nothing, the mount asks again
and then queues it as it does offline, instead of failing with ENOENT
for something Drive has made.
- B119: a landed upload keeps its staged bytes as the file's cached
content, unless it is larger than a sixteenth of the cache, so
reading a file just written does not need the network.
- B120: a landed folder's row passes to its real uid in the same
transaction, so a file queued inside it is not put off for five
seconds.
docs/BUGS.md records B117 to B120. The account run of 2026-10-03
verified B114 to B117 and B119 in My files.
`pdfs rm ~/Downloads/x` answered "is not under the mountpoint" while
`pdfs move` took the same path: the Delete, Rename and CreateFolder
handlers still read paths against the primary mount only (B88).
They now go through `route_change`, the router ResolveConflict already
used, renamed from `route_conflict`. It answers the request in the
inode space of the mount that owns the path.
An on-demand folder's root has a parent on Drive, so `pdfs rm
~/Downloads` would have trashed the whole synced folder from under its
mount. rm and rename refuse a path that names a mount's root.
The write handle a create opens was given no revision id, so the drain's
conflict check fell back to (mtime, size). Drive advances a node's mtime
on a move or rename, so a new file moved before its first upload drained
landed as a (sync-conflict) copy next to its own empty original. Take the
minted node's revision id, and rebase handles still open on a queued
create onto the node it landed as (B113).
"pending upload landed" now carries upload_ms, the time on the wire, and
total_ms, the whole op including the conflict check and gap-fill. A slow
drain then shows where its time goes without a profiler.
The mount only ever went from offline to online: nothing marked it
offline again, so after the Wi-Fi dropped every create, mkdir, delete and
rename called Drive, waited out the SDK's retries for up to two minutes
and answered EIO. Background loops kept polling the dead link.
Connectivity now lives in pdfs-fuse's new link module and goes both
ways. A call that gets no answer (a transport error or a request
timeout) marks the mount offline; a probe thread checks every 2 s,
backing off to 30 s, and on recovery re-lists folders served from the
database, retries failed operations and wakes the drain. Interactive
calls get a 20 s deadline, so a dead link costs one slow call instead of
many.
While offline:
- create, mkdir, unlink, rmdir and rename fall back to the offline
queue instead of answering EIO;
- folders list from the database even when not marked listed, and are
re-listed once the link returns;
- reads of uncached data wait up to 30 s for the link, then retry once
within the 120 s read deadline;
- statfs serves the last quota instead of fetching, and quota refreshes
are single-flight;
- the event and photo event loops wait for the link instead of polling.
A create whose request timed out may have landed anyway. When the drain
replays it and finds a same-named twin of the same kind, created within
the last two minutes and still empty, it adopts that node instead of
making a conflict copy. The drain also leaves alone a name still held
by a queued trash.
A create that answered ENOENT left no trace in the log. It now warns
when the parent folder is no longer known, and when the parent left the
tree while its children were being listed, naming the parent inode and
the new name.
The acceptance script's metadata throughput floor was 20 operations per
second, which a FUSE mount cannot reach: each create and unlink waits for
Drive before it returns, about 350 ms apiece. On a FUSE mount the floor
is now 3 operations per second; other paths keep 20. The mount type is
read from /proc/self/mountinfo.
A read that settles a provisional size invalidated the file's page cache
while the kernel held that read's page lock, so the worker waited on
itself forever (B110). Size upgrades now invalidate attributes only.
Renaming a node right after renaming it could be refused by Drive as out
of date, because the name hash read just before still held the old name.
Every remote rename now goes through Core::rename_remote, which retries
InvalidRequirements for up to ten seconds (B111).
B109: an online create seals an empty file on Drive, and until the last
close the written bytes live only in the open handle. A re-listing of
the parent, a size upgrade or a create landing re-interned the node with
Drive's empty size, the kernel capped reads at that size, and SQLite
reported "database disk image is malformed". State::keep_open_write_size
now carries the handle's size and local mtime over in all three places.
The acceptance script waits for My files to mount after a daemon restart
instead of failing at once.
Fixes from the account acceptance runs:
- B104: a reader open across a rename-over keeps working; the replaced
node is unlinked like any other open file instead of forgotten.
- B105: a drain worker holding a revision withdrawn by an unlink no
longer uploads it as a recovered-… conflict copy (Db::op_exists).
- B106: an open victim's queued ops are withdrawn at trash time, so a
repeated editor save no longer fails with AlreadyExists; the staged
blob goes with the last close.
- B107: a remote read gives up after 120 s with EIO instead of hanging
its caller; the timer is built inside the runtime.
- B108: a mirror upload whose local file was deleted after the scan is
skipped rather than counted as an error.
The acceptance script reports the failing line for non-assert errors,
ignores queue ops that predate the run, purges with delete-forever
first, and diagnoses a malformed SQLite database against a local replay.
The FUSE acceptance suite now runs on the signed-in account by default and
cleans up after itself; its first live runs found three daemon bugs.
- B101: a pwrite past EOF now authors the hole it leaves, so truncated bytes
no longer come back from the base. A write attached to a create while that
create uploads becomes a revision of the real uid instead of being dropped.
- B102: removing a folder drops the queued revisions of files below it, found
through the node tree, with their blobs and in-flight uploads. `pdfs rm`
now drops queued ops too.
- B103: each server call of a trash refresh times out after 120 s, so one hung
call can no longer freeze the trash listing until restart.
Acceptance suite: account mode with a manifest, lock and reaper; cleanup by
uid; queued ops naming a test root count as leftovers; new edge-case,
throughput and B100/B101 cases; the wide-directory case is split from the
deep tree and gets a doubled budget. Adds `pdfs trash --json`.
A file listed by the cheap enumeration reports its ciphertext size until
the size upgrade lands. Since B84 a read on that size fails with EIO, and
a write open started its handle at it. Reads and write opens now fetch
the real size first. A folder past the size-upgrade cap is queued instead
of dropped, so a large copy no longer leaves most folders provisional
(B100).
- A mirror download first copies the file out of the content cache when the
same revision is cached whole or block by block, so moving a file out of an
on-demand folder into a mirror costs no traffic for what was already read.
- `pdfs move a b c DEST` moves every source, reports each failure and exits
non-zero if any failed.
- Mirror-to-mirror moves rename with RENAME_NOREPLACE, so a name that
appeared at the destination after the check is never overwritten.
- The local copy a move out of a mirror drops is checked again just before
it is deleted; anything written into it meanwhile keeps the copy and is
uploaded as new by the next pass.
A move request with two absolute paths is resolved against every
location (My files, on-demand and mirror synced folders) and made as a
server-side move_node. The local side is levelled afterwards: mounts
forget and re-list, a mirror folder renames its copy and baseline along
or drops the copy once Drive holds it.
Anything only this disk holds is refused up front: queued ops, open
writes, unsynced or ignored mirror files and symlinks. The GUI Move
dialog gains a top-level list of locations.
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 list and grid view from My files moves into widgets/file_list.rs as
FileList, so Trash, Shared with me and Shared by me share its columns,
selection, context menus, keyboard handling and list/grid switch instead of
each drawing its own rows.
Trash shows where each item came from and when it was deleted. Proton does
not expose the trash time through the SDK yet, so the daemon records when it
first sees a node in the trash (migration V35, trash_seen) and reports that;
the date becomes exact once proton-sdk-rs exposes Node::trash_time. Restoring
offers a Show action, and opening a trashed item explains that it needs to be
restored first.
Shared with me splits files and saved links into two views. Files show who
shared them, with a warning pill for unverified senders, the access they give
and when they were shared. Pending invitations sit in a banner that opens a
dialog to accept or decline each one. Several items can be left at once.
Saved links get their own list with open, copy and remove actions.
Shared by me gains a filter (all, links, people, expired links) and columns
for location, people and link state, with a copy button for live links.
Several items can stop being shared at once, the page refreshes after the
share dialog closes, and a reload rebinds only the rows that changed so the
selection survives.
All catalogs are updated and complete.
The duplicate finder gains an Exact / Similar switch. Similar asks the
daemon for PhotoSimilar, which starts a background pass that hashes the
thumbnail of every shot not hashed yet and replies at once with the sets
found so far and how far hashing has got. The dialog shows a progress bar
and asks again until the pass is done, then lists the sets.
The pass takes thumbnails from the server only: a photo without one is
skipped for the run instead of downloaded whole, and the dialog says how
many photos could not be compared. Decoding and hashing are spread over
the machine's cores.
Every similar photo starts ticked Keep, since photos that look alike can
be different shots. A similar photo stands for its whole shot, so one not
kept goes to Trash with the rest of its shot.
- 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.
