Lay the timeline out in justified rows. Each photo keeps its own shape, clamped between 1:2 and 5:2, and every row but a section's last spans the width to the pixel. "Square Tiles" in the page menu restores the even grid, and the Year zoom stays square. The zoom level and the tile shape persist in a new `photos_view` config section. Move Timeline/Albums/Places into the header as an icon-and-label switch that shows only icons in a narrow window. The filters take a single row whose kind tabs scroll sideways. Selection mode follows GNOME apps: - the header shows "N selected" and Cancel; - an ActionBar along the bottom offers Favorite (or unfavorite), Add to Album, Remove from Album, Save Copies and Move to Trash; - each section heading gets a check that selects the whole section. One function, sync_header, decides the header for the page, an open album or place, and selection mode. The heading of the section at the top of the grid floats over the grid. Favorites get a star badge, and video placeholders a video glyph. New bundled icons: pdfs-photos, pdfs-album and pdfs-slideshow. Upload takes several photos and videos at once, and files dropped on the timeline upload too. The media type comes from the MIME database, except that a recording-sized .ts counts as video. The viewer's details panel moves into an OverlaySplitView that lies over the photo below 800sp.
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.
These pages are also published as the
