v3.0.0-1

Version 3.0.0 (2024-06-25)

• This update finally brings over two years worth of new and refined features, bug fixes, and translation updates!
• This is a major update with significant improvements above and under the hood!
• New translations: Ukrainian
• Updated translations: Finnish, Norwegian, Spanish, Slovak, Swedish, Estonian, French, Russian, Chinese, German, English, Polish, Turkish
• Removed translations: Swiss German (not available in Sailfish)
• Removed Paypal donations link, please use Liberapay and avoid Paypal if at all possible
• Added a smart scrollbar that lets you easily jump to specific files in the middle of long folder listings
• Added donation info to the "About" page: it is now possible to buy me a cup of coffee :-) (swipe right-to-left multiple times until you reach the "About" page)
• Added a call-for-support popup that shows up automatically when the app is used frequently
• Added a new page showing currently copied/cut files (swipe right-to-left to the shortcuts page, then select "Clipboard")
• Added quick access to overviews of all documents and multimedia files on the shortcuts page (this uses system components that sadly have terrible performance)
• Added section headers when sorting by file type, which makes it easier to find files of a specific type
• Added support for creating folders with subfolders and for creating empty files
• Added support for changing a link's target path
• Added a very basic text editor, e.g. for quickly editing config files in root mode
• Added option to set a custom directory to be opened when the app starts
• Added descriptions for all config options and improved documentation
• Added option to show hidden files last in the file list
• Added automatic refreshing of the folder view when file properties change, e.g. when the size changes while copying files
• Added support for showing shortcuts for all kinds of mounted devices (previously, only folders in /run/media/USER were shown)
• Added proper support for calculating disk and file sizes (no longer relies on external commands and finally works without causing the app to hang)
• Added option to configure standard view mode globally
• • current options: list and gallery
• • planned: grid view
• Added context menu option to switch to a link's target folder
• Greatly improved performance when switching between folders, checking bookmarks, editing settings, or reading the "About" page
• Greatly improved performance of the "edit this path" dialog
• Improved directory filtering: hidden files will be shown when the filter string starts with a dot
• Improved root mode:
• • it now requires entering your device lock code to access
• • note: unlocking is handled by the system, File Browser will never see your lock code
• Improved feedback in case of errors or unexpected events
• Improved bookmarks handling and removed no longer needed "refresh" pulley option on the shortcuts page
• Improved manual sorting and renaming of bookmarks: press and hold, then drag and drop to sort them
• Improved performance when previewing large image files
• Fixed synchronization of bookmarks among multiple app windows
• Fixed sorting directories by modification date and by size
• Fixed root mode for Sailfish 4.3 and later
• Fixed keyboard randomly opening and closing when selecting suggestions while editing a path
• Fixed the path edit dialog misinterpreting empty files as directories
• Fixed searching for hidden files when they are locally configured to be shown
• Fixed an issue where trying to cut certain system files could possibly break the copying mechanism
• Fixed showing search/shortcuts from cover
• Fixed logging when config migration fails (for Sailjail)
• Fixed PDF annotations not being saved (not thoroughly tested yet)
• Fixed calculating folder sizes by not following symbolic links
• Fixed enabling gallery mode in a folder when it was globally disabled
• Fixed gallery mode hiding files unnecessarily
• Fixed many visual glitches, fixed papercuts, added minor quality-of-life features, and added various new icons
• Removed all dependencies on Busybox
• Modernized the code base under the hood
• and much, much more...

For developers:

• FileModel now exposes file extensions
• FileData now exposes directory sizes, link targets, and more file properties
• Engine now exposes clipboard contents
• Engine no longer exposes paths of external devices and Android data
• Added a new settings handler which reduces complexity and should improve performance overall
• • import module "harbour.file.browser.Settings"
• • use singleton types "GlobalSettings" and "RawSettings" or instantiate "DirectorySettings"
• Improved the build system to possibly enable more features in Jolla store
• Refactored the root mode helper build process
• and much, much more...
• Note: I do not know of any other apps that use File Browser's current file handling code; if you do, please contact me if there are issues with updating

  • root mode should work again on Sailfish 4.x
