 Newest first.
 
+### B283 — Videos have no thumbnail outside Photos, and a `.ts` recording looks like source code
+
+**Status:** Fixed, not verified live
+**Found:** 2026-11-14, from a user report: large `.ts` video recordings in My files showed a text
+icon, and no video in My files had a thumbnail although the same videos had one in Photos.
+**Where:** `is_video_file_name` in `crates/pdfs-core/src/control.rs`; `generate_thumbs` and
+`sample_video` in `crates/pdfs-fuse/src/photos.rs`; `bind_file_thumbnail` in
+`crates/pdfs-gui/src/app/widgets/thumbnails.rs`
+
+**Repro:** Put an `.mp4` and a recorded `.ts` of a few GB in My files and open the folder in the
+app's grid view. Both show a generic icon, and the `.ts` shows a text one.
+
+**Cause.** Four things:
+- File views asked the daemon for thumbnails of images only (`is_thumbnail_image_name`), so a
+  video was never asked for.
+- `.ts` is TypeScript as often as it is an MPEG transport stream. Drive stores both as
+  `application/octet-stream`, and every place that names a file's type went by the extension:
+  the browser's icon list had no `.ts`, GIO guesses text, and the opener's `@text` class listed
+  `.ts`.
+- The daemon downloaded a video whole into memory for one frame, so it refused anything over
+  256 MiB, and the size check behind that refusal asked the Photos client, which knows nothing
+  of a My files node.
+- `file_thumbs` never asked for the thumbnail an uploader attached, on the belief that only
+  Photos nodes have one. This client attaches one to every upload it can make one for.
+
+**Fix.** `is_video_file_name(name, size)` is the one rule: a video extension, and for `.ts` a
+size of at least 1 MiB. The browser icon, the thumbnail gate, the launcher's icon and type, and
+the opener's classes use it. For a file view, the daemon first asks Drive for the file's own
+thumbnail. Without one, a video of up to 24 MiB is downloaded whole. A larger one brings its first
+16 MiB, and for an MP4 or MOV whose `moov` box lies further in, the box headers on the way and
+that box. The parts are laid out at their offsets in a sparse staging file, which ffmpeg reads.
+A `.ts` whose head lacks the 0x47 sync byte is recorded as having no thumbnail.
+
+**Test:** `a_ts_file_is_a_video_only_at_the_size_of_one` and
+`listings_thumbnail_images_and_videos` in `crates/pdfs-core/src/control.rs`;
+`a_ts_file_opens_as_media_or_text_by_its_size` in `crates/pdfs-core/src/opener.rs`;
+`a_large_mp4_downloads_its_head_and_its_index` and the other `sample_video` tests in
+`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/photos.rs`; the simulation
+`a_video_thumbnail_downloads_a_small_part_of_the_video`, which reads under 34 MiB for two
+videos of over 70 MiB and takes nothing from a video with an uploader's thumbnail.
+`real_video_fixture_yields_a_frame` passed on 2026-11-14 with ffmpeg 9.0 for a 46 MB MP4 with its
+index at the end, an MPEG-TS and an MKV.
+
+### B282 — A file kept offline is downloaded again after a change made elsewhere
+
+**Status:** Fixed, not verified live
+**Found:** 2026-11-13, while looking into B281. Nothing downloaded a pinned file again after the
+pin had downloaded it once.
+**Where:** `apply_event` in `crates/pdfs-fuse/src/background.rs`; the new pin keeper in
+`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/keeper.rs`
+
+**Repro:** Pin a file, then change it from another device. The event deletes the cached copy.
+The file stays listed as kept offline, `cached` is false, and the next read downloads it, or
+fails without a network. Rename or move it elsewhere and the same happens, though its content
+did not change. Add a file to a pinned folder from another device and it is never downloaded.
+A folder pin whose downloads failed while the link was down never retries them.
+
+**Cause:** A remote change to a known node called `ContentCache::evict`, which does not check
+pins, and only the pin request itself downloaded anything. The copy was also stored under the
+size the listing held at pin time. That is the ciphertext size until the size upgrade lands
+(B12), and a copy stored under it never matches the plaintext it holds.
+
+**Fix:** A remote change no longer evicts a pinned file's copy. The copy is checked against the
+revision's `(mtime, size)`, so a read of a newer revision does not take it. A rename keeps the
+revision's mtime (B123), so the copy stays valid. A pin keeper thread checks pins again and
+downloads files that are missing or stale:
+
+- the pins a batch of remote events changed, after the batch's listings are dropped;
+- a pinned folder that gets a new file;
+- every pin at startup, when the link comes back, and after the event feed loses continuity;
+- a file whose version is restored.
+
+Failed downloads are tried again with a backoff from 30 s to 30 min. Pinning settles a
+provisional size before it stores the copy.
+
+**Test:** `a_file_kept_offline_stays_on_disk_through_changes_made_elsewhere` in
+`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/sim/daemon.rs`. Another device edits a pinned file and a file in a pinned
+folder, and adds a file to that folder. The test waits until all three are cached, then reads
+them with the link down. With the keeper disabled, it fails with all three uncached.
+
+---
+
+### B281 — A file in a synced folder cannot be kept offline
+
+**Status:** Fixed, not verified live
+**Found:** 2026-11-13. An image was made available offline in the app, and it opened from the app
+with no download. `feh` opened it from a terminal and downloaded it each time. The two were not
+the same file. The app had kept `~/ProtonDrive/Pictures/photo.png`, in My files. The
+terminal opened `~/Pictures/photo.png`, in the on-demand synced folder `~/Pictures`. That
+copy is a separate node under Computers, uploaded on its own, with the same name and size but a
+different mtime. The daemon treats every program the same way: it does not look at the process
+that reads.
+**Where:** the `Pin` and `Unpin` handlers in `crates/pdfs-fuse/src/control.rs`
+
+**Repro:** Add a synced folder in on-demand mode and put a file in it. `pdfs pin` on its absolute
+path fails with "is not under the mountpoint". A relative path is resolved against My files, so
+it keeps a file of the same name there, if one exists, or fails. Reading the file in the synced
+folder then downloads it.
+
+**Cause:** Both handlers turned the path into a mount-relative one with `rel_to_mount`, which only
+knows the primary mount. B86 moved `ls`, `refresh`, `rm` and `mv` to `route_to_mount`, which finds
+the mount that serves an absolute path. Pin and unpin were left out.
+
+**Fix:** Pin and unpin route through `route_to_mount` and run on the mount that owns the path. A
+path in a mirror folder gets an error that says its files are already on this computer. The pin
+registry records the absolute local path for a pin made through an on-demand folder, so
+`pdfs pins`, the prompt and the HUD open the file through the folder it was kept from. Pins
+under the primary mount still record the path relative to it.
+
+**Test:** `pinning_a_file_in_an_on_demand_folder_keeps_that_folders_copy` in
+`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/sim/daemon.rs`. It pins a file through an on-demand folder's absolute path,
+takes the link down, and reads the file through that folder.

+- **Video thumbnails in My files, Shared, Trash and the launcher**, as in Photos, with a play
+  badge in the grid. A video's thumbnail is the one its uploader attached when it has one.
+  Otherwise the daemon takes a frame with ffmpeg from the start of the file, plus an MP4's
+  index, and never downloads more than about 16 MiB of a video for it, however large the
+  video is. **Build Thumbnails** covers videos too (B283).
+
+- **A new layout for Photos.**
+  - The grid shows every photo at its own shape, in rows that fill the width (portraits
+    are no longer cropped to squares). **Square Tiles** in the page menu brings the even
+    grid back, and the Year zoom stays square.
+  - Timeline, Albums and Places switch in the header. The filters take one row, which
+    scrolls sideways in a narrow window.
+  - The section you are in floats over the top of the grid once its heading has scrolled
+    away. Headings are larger, and a check beside each one selects the whole day, month or
+    year.
+  - Selection mode works as in other GNOME apps: the header shows the count and
+    **Cancel**, and a bar along the bottom has these actions:
+    - **Add to Favorites**, or remove them when every selected photo is already one;
+    - **Add to Album**;
+    - **Remove from Album**;
+    - **Save Copies**, into a folder you pick, never overwriting a file;
+    - **Move to Trash**.
+  - Favorites carry a star on their tile, and a video waiting for its thumbnail shows a
+    video glyph.
+  - New icons for Photos, albums and the slideshow.
+  - **Upload** takes several photos and videos at once, and you can drop files onto the
+    timeline to upload them.
+  - The zoom level and the tile shape are remembered between runs.
+  - In the photo viewer, the details panel lies over the photo when the window is
+    narrow instead of squeezing it.
+
+- **Larger icons in My files.** The icon size slider goes up to 256 px, big enough to
+  tell photos apart by their thumbnail. Ctrl+scroll, Ctrl+plus, Ctrl+minus and Ctrl+0
+  change it too, and the size is remembered between runs.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`proton-sdk` and `proton-drive-rs` 0.11.0.** Timestamps are converted where they enter
+  from the SDK, and a photo keeps its own modification time now that it no longer follows the
+  capture time. [The SDK review](SDK-0.11.0.md) lists the new features and breaking changes.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **My files comes back after the service was killed for hanging** (B279). A killed service left
+  its folders behind as dead mounts, and every restart then failed with `File exists` and retried
+  forever without opening anything, until the mounts were cleared by hand. The service now clears
+  a dead mount before it opens the folder. On a large account a restart that did open My files was
+  killed again, because loading the account took longer than the 2 minutes the service has to
+  report in. Startup now gets 10 minutes, and the 2 minutes apply again once the service answers.
+
+- **Uploading many large photos no longer runs the computer out of memory** (B280). Every image
+  upload decodes the whole picture to make its thumbnail, and up to 16 did so at once. A batch of
+  100-megapixel photos took about 9 GiB, filled the swap, and the service was killed on every
+  restart. Thumbnails now share 512 MiB between them: phone photos are still made side by side,
+  and a very large photo waits and is made on its own.
+
+- **Keep a file offline in an on-demand synced folder** (B281). `pdfs pin` and `pdfs unpin` now
+  accept a path in a synced folder such as `~/Pictures`. Before, they only took paths under the
+  Proton Drive mount, so the copy in the synced folder was downloaded again by every program that
+  read it.
+
+- **Files kept offline stay on this computer when they change elsewhere** (B282). A change from
+  another device, even a rename, deleted the copy of a file kept offline, and nothing downloaded
+  it again, so the next read downloaded it or failed without a network. Files added to a folder
+  kept offline from another device were never downloaded. The copy now stays until the new
+  version is downloaded, which happens on its own. Files kept offline are also checked at
+  startup and when the connection returns, and failed downloads are tried again.
+
+- **Large `.ts` recordings show and open as videos** (B283). An MPEG transport stream got the
+  text icon, no thumbnail, and the `@text` open rule. It now gets the video icon, a thumbnail
+  and the `@media` rule. A `.ts` of 1 MiB or more counts as a video, a smaller one stays
+  TypeScript source, and the daemon checks the stream's sync byte before it takes a frame.
+
+- **Videos over 256 MiB get a thumbnail** (B283). They never got one, and a smaller video was
+  downloaded whole into memory for one frame.
