My files, Shared, Trash and the launcher now ask the daemon for video thumbnails, not only image ones. Grid tiles with a video thumbnail show a small play badge. A `.ts` file is a video from 1 MiB up and a TypeScript source below that. One rule in pdfs-core (`is_video_file_name`) decides it for the file icon, the thumbnail gate, the launcher icon and preview, and the opener's `@media` / `@text` classes. The daemon also checks the MPEG-TS sync byte before it runs ffmpeg, so a large TypeScript bundle gets no retries. A video thumbnail no longer downloads the whole file into memory (B283): - the server thumbnail is tried first, at no content cost; - files up to 24 MiB come whole; - larger ones bring a 16 MiB head, plus the MP4/MOV `moov` box when it lies past the head, into a sparse staging file that ffmpeg reads. The 256 MiB cap is gone. Without ffmpeg, a video answers "no thumbnail" at once. The folder thumbnail build includes videos.
Proton Drive for Linux documentation
Proton Drive for Linux is an unofficial Proton Drive client for the Linux desktop. Your Drive appears as a folder that downloads files when you open them, local folders are backed up and kept in sync, and a GTK app with a tray icon and a search launcher covers Photos, sharing and more. A command-line client does all of it from a terminal.
