Uploads in Files had their own card with a thick progress bar, larger
corners and a heavier shadow, so they looked unlike the toasts around
them.
Toasts can now show work in progress: the thin line at the bottom fills
with progress instead of counting down, and the toast stays until it is
updated or removed. Uploads use it, with the file and percentage below
the title and Cancel as the toast action.
The Files app had two layouts (folders inline or in a tree), a back bar
and a permanent warning above the list, a toolbar of ten unlabelled
icons, and a Recent list whose entries did nothing. In the tree layout
folders could not be renamed or deleted at all, and the default view,
default sort and hidden-files settings were ignored.
It now follows the contacts and calendar layout:
- a full-height sidebar with a "+" New menu, My files with the folder
tree, Starred, Recent and Shared with me; folders accept dropped items
- a header with collapsing breadcrumbs (also drop targets), search, sort,
list/grid switch and a details toggle; selecting items swaps it for an
action bar
- list rows open from the name and select from the row, with hover
actions; the grid shows folders as chips and files as cards with
lazy, cached thumbnails
- a details panel for the selection or the current folder, empty-folder
and no-results states, a floating upload card, a dismissible
stability warning, and keyboard navigation with the arrow keys
- touch: tap opens, long-press selects, a "+" button in narrow panes
The tree is built from the listing the store already fetches instead of
one full fetch per folder, so it is current after every change. Recent
files open in their folder, and the settings for view, sort, hidden
files and icons now apply. The inline/sidebar setting is gone.
Stalwart 1.0 checks names more strictly than its capability says: a
reserved name may not be the stem either (`con.txt`, `Aux.tar.gz`), and
control characters are refused (macOS `Icon\r`). Names over 255 bytes
of UTF-8 were never accepted. Uploaded names are now made acceptable
before they are sent: control characters become "_", a reserved stem
gets "_" after it (`con.txt` becomes `con_.txt`), and a long name is
shortened, keeping its extension. The rename and new-folder dialogs
refuse such names with their own messages. The rules apply wherever the
server publishes naming rules, so 0.16.6 to 0.16.23 get `con_.txt` too.
One refused file used to abort a whole upload. Uploads now go on and
report the files that failed at the end, and a folder upload skips the
contents of a folder it could not create instead of dropping them into
the folder the upload started in. What would sit deeper than 1.0's
`maxFileNodeDepth` (64) is left out before it is uploaded, and a folder
copy that would go past it fails before the first create.
File errors keep their JMAP type, and the Files toasts now say why an
action failed: too many files or folders (`overQuota`), folders nested
too deeply, a refused name, missing rights, or a file too large. New
and copied files get a bare lowercase media type, which 1.0 requires.
Bulwark counted a FileNode as a folder when it had no blobId. Stalwart
1.0 adds symlinks, which have no blob either, so they showed up as
empty folders that could be opened, and folder copies recreated them
as such. Listings now ask for `nodeType` (returned since 0.16.6) and a
single helper, `fileNodeKind()`, decides what a node is in the Files
store, the copy code and the global search, falling back to the blobId
rule when `nodeType` is missing. `nodeType` is never sent in
FileNode/set.
A symlink is shown as an inert row with a link icon. It can be renamed,
moved and deleted, but not opened, previewed, downloaded, copied or
shared, and folder copies skip it.
From 0.16.6 Stalwart refuses FileNode names with `/<>:"\|?*` or a
reserved name such as `CON` ("Name contains a forbidden character."),
and publishes the rules as `forbiddenNameChars` / `forbiddenNodeNames`.
Bulwark did not read them: the error showed up only after an upload had
started, and it aborted the rest of a multi-file or folder upload.
- new folder, new text file and rename now say which characters or
names the server does not allow, before sending anything
- uploads store an accepted variant instead: forbidden characters
become `_` and a reserved name gets `_` appended
MIME types over 30 characters (most Office formats) were always stored
as `application/octet-stream`, because Stalwart before 0.16.6 refuses
them. From 0.16.6 the limit is 255, so the real type is kept there.
- Implement JMAP FileNode client methods (get, query, list, create,
update, destroy, copy) with Stalwart-compatible flat name encoding
- Add FileNode/FileNodeFilter types to JMAP type definitions
- Create file-store with Zustand for file management state (navigate,
upload, delete, rename, move, cut/copy/paste, undo, favorites)
- Add folder tree sidebar component for sidebar navigation layout
- Add files settings dialog and settings page component with options
for view mode, sort, icons, thumbnails, hidden files, folder layout
- Update files page and file browser to support JMAP FileNode backend
alongside WebDAV, with folder layout switching and settings integration
- Add settings tab for files configuration in the settings page
- Add translation keys for file settings, calendar subscriptions,
identity deletion, contact deletion, email navigation, and
reconnection messages across all 8 locales
- Change WebDAV file storage to File storage in availability messages
- Enhance translations test to verify source-referenced keys exist in
the en locale
- Fix duplicate JSX attribute in folder-tree-sidebar
Add a new Files section powered by WebDAV for browsing, uploading,
downloading, renaming, and deleting files and folders.
New features:
- WebDAV file browser with grid/list views and breadcrumb navigation
- File upload (drag-and-drop and button), folder creation, rename, delete
- File preview modals for images and other file types
- WebDAV proxy API route to handle authentication
- Navigation rail entry for Files (auto-hidden when WebDAV is unsupported)
Auth improvements:
- Fix premature redirects on calendar, contacts, and settings pages by
adding explicit auth check on mount before redirecting to login
- Persist active settings tab in localStorage
Other:
- Expose getAuthHeader() and getServerUrl() on JMAPClient
- Add WebDAV store with connection testing and capability detection
- Add i18n translations for file browser in all 8 locales (de, en, es,
fr, it, ja, nl, pt)
