* fix(dashboard): don't preview a file named after an image type, or a failed image
Space on a file named "png" (no extension) opened the image preview over a
broken image: the type was read from the last dot-separated part of the
name, which for an extensionless name is the whole name. It's now read from
the extension.
A preview whose image URL couldn't be fetched left the previous image up
under the newly selected row and raised an unhandled rejection. It now
closes instead.
* fix(dashboard): sort Files names by number, and break size/date ties by name
Names were compared as plain text, so "file10" sorted before "file2" and
"dir10" before "dir2". They now compare as a file manager does, with runs
of digits by value.
Sorting by size or date left rows with the same value (every folder, when
sorting by size) in whatever order the server listed them, and a row added
afterwards (a new folder, a rename) landed after its equals instead of where
a fresh listing would put it. Ties now fall back to the name, in the full
sort and in the single-row insert alike.
The sort also parsed each trashed item's metadata on every comparison; it
now reads each entry's sort key once.
* fix(dashboard): ask about "this item" when permanently deleting one Trash item
The Delete key and the phone selection bar's Delete Permanently asked
"Are you sure you want to permanently delete these items?" for a single
item too. One item now gets the single-item question, as from its own
menu. The three copies of the confirm-and-delete step (Delete key,
selection bar, multi-select menu) are now one.
* fix(dashboard): don't let saved column widths squeeze out an auto-width name
Saved widths too wide for the listing fall back to the defaults, but only
when the Name column had a saved width too. Beside an auto-width name, a
Size or Modified column widened on a large screen kept its width on a
smaller one and squeezed the names to nothing, with the row scrolling
sideways. The check now counts an auto-width name at its 100px minimum.
* fix(dashboard): give Files names a phone's full row, not a desktop column width
A narrow listing drops the columns for two-row rows, where each name has
the row's width. Names were still cut to the Name column's saved width
whenever the saved columns happened to fit, so a 120px column set on a
desktop cut names to about 100px on a phone with 280px to spare.
* fix(fs): refuse to replace a folder that contains the item being moved or copied
Moving or copying an item onto a name taken by one of its own parent
folders, with overwrite, removed that folder recursively first, and the
item went with it. Cutting the inner "photos" out of photos/photos, pasting
it next to the outer one and choosing Replace deleted both folders and
everything in them. Such an overwrite is now refused before anything is
removed.
* fix(dashboard): keep the Files selection when an upload lands in another folder
An upload into a folder other than the one on screen (a drop on a folder
row, a sidebar folder or a crumb, or Upload from a folder's menu) still
listed the folder on screen again when it finished. That cleared whatever
was selected there and left an open menu acting on rows no longer on the
page. Only an upload into the folder on screen refreshes it now.
The Upload picker ran its own copy of the upload flow; it now goes through
the same one as drops.
* fix(dashboard): keep Files rows up while a refresh reads web link and app icons
A refresh of the folder on screen keeps its rows until the new listing is
in, so it doesn't flash blank. But it cleared them before reading the
icons, and a web link's or .app's icon is read from the file over the
network, so in such a folder every re-sort, upload or return to the tab
blanked the pane for those reads. The icons are now read before the rows
are swapped.
* fix(dashboard): Ctrl/Cmd-drag a Files selection as a whole
Pressing Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) on a row that was already selected took it out
of the selection at once, so a drag starting there collapsed the selection
to that one row: a Ctrl-drag of three files to copy them copied one, under
a ghost that still read "3". The row now leaves the selection when the
button is released without a drag, as in a desktop file manager, and a
drag carries the whole selection.
* fix(dashboard): let Enter open the row the arrow keys moved to in Files
Clicking a sidebar folder, crumb or toolbar button leaves it focused, and
the arrow keys and type-to-select still move the row selection from there.
Enter, Space and the menu key then went to that focused control: after
clicking Documents and pressing Down twice, Enter opened Documents again
and dropped the selection instead of opening the highlighted row. The
listing now takes the focus when these keys move the selection, so the
keys after them act on the rows, and Shift+Tab goes back to the toolbar.
* fix(dashboard): let Files' image preview be cancelled while it loads, and close it with the tab
The preview only counted as open once its image URL had come back (two
round-trips), so nothing could cancel it before then: Escape cleared the
selection and the image popped up anyway, a second Space opened it instead
of closing it, and opening a folder left the old image to appear over the
new one. It now counts as open from the start, so each of those cancels
it.
Browser Back/Forward to another dashboard tab left the preview floating
over that tab, where Escape and Space no longer reach it. A route change
away from Files now closes it, as it does Share and Properties.
* fix(dashboard): keep Files keys off a new folder until the server has made it
A new folder's row goes up with the name editor open before mkdir answers.
Clicks and menus already wait on it, but the keyboard didn't: pressing
Escape and then Delete on a slow connection sent a move for the row's
placeholder and showed "Moving New Folder: Subject does not exist", and
Enter opened the predicted path before it existed. Enter, Delete, Ctrl/Cmd+C
and Ctrl/Cmd+X now skip such a row, as do Cut and Delete in the
multi-select menu and the phone's selection bar.
* fix(dashboard): explain a Files action that fails on the network
A request that fails at the network level is rejected with no message.
New Folder then took its row back with no alert at all, and Restore and
the New menu's files showed "[object XMLHttpRequest]". A failed move from
the clipboard named the item and nothing else. Each now falls back to
"An unknown error occurred."
* fix(dashboard): don't offer Trash folders, or view-only shares' crumbs, as Files drop targets
Inside the Trash a folder row lit up as a drop target and then refused the
drop with an untranslated "Cannot move items into a deleted folder.", and a
crumb inside the Trash took the move, though only Restore may take an item
out of the Trash. A crumb of a folder shared with the user to view only
lit up too, and the drop ended in one refusal per item from the server.
Such folders no longer light up, and a drop on one goes back, as a drop on
a view-only folder row already did. A view-only crumb still opens on a
dwell.
* fix(dashboard): count a new folder, not the old selection, in the Files footer
New Folder selects the new row, but the footer was updated before that and
kept describing what was selected before ("3 items selected"), as did the
phone's selection bar, whose buttons by then acted on the new folder. A
Shift+click also still extended from the old anchor. The footer now
follows the new selection, and the new row is the anchor.
* fix(dashboard): update the Files footer when Enter ends a rename
Ending a rename with Enter selects the row, and then called the desktop
Explorer's footer update, which finds no footer in the dashboard. Renaming
a row from its menu while another was selected left the footer at
"1 item selected" with two rows selected.
* fix(dashboard): stop Files' image preview from running out of read URLs
The preview fetched a read URL for every image it showed, and read URLs
share the access-token allowance of 20 an hour. Stepping through a folder
of images with the arrow keys spent it in seconds, after which the preview
(and any app asking for a read URL) failed for the rest of the hour. The
preview now reads the image directly and shows it from memory, freed when
it closes or moves on, and a held arrow key loads only the image it stops
on.
* fix(dashboard): don't offer to publish a folder the user may not share from Files' folder menus
The background, crumb and sidebar menus offered Publish as Website for any
folder, so in a folder shared with the user to view or edit it opened the
publish dialog only for the server to refuse. Publishing takes the right
sharing does; the item now stays disabled without it, as on a folder row's
own menu.
* fix(dashboard): open a Files folder under its new name when it's opened mid-rename
Double-clicking a folder right after typing its new name (the first click
sends the rename) opened it under the old path, which the rename then
took away: the view sat in a folder that no longer existed, with crumbs
and Back/Forward disagreeing about its name, and New Folder or Upload
there failed. Opening a row (double-click, tap, Enter, or Open from its
menu) now waits for a rename still on its way, and goes by one path.
* fix(dashboard): keep Files' Back/Forward in step with folders moved or trashed
Back and Forward kept a folder's old path after it was moved or deleted,
here or from elsewhere: going into a folder, back out, and dragging it
somewhere else (or deleting it) left Forward leading to "This folder
couldn't be opened", with New Folder and Upload gone. History entries now
follow a moved folder and what is inside it, and a trashed or deleted
one's entries are dropped.
* fix(dashboard): keep screen readers from reading Files' icon file names
The crumbs' separators, the folder sidebar's icons and every row's icon
were images with no alt text, so a screen reader announced each one, by
file name in some ("triangle-right.svg"), between every crumb and before
every name. They are decorative beside the text they sit next to and are
now marked so. The crumb of the folder on screen is marked as the current
page.
* fix(dashboard): make double-click on a Files column divider fit the column
Double-clicking a column divider measured the text in system-ui, but the
listing renders in Inter, and took the cells' padding as 8px a side where
Size and Modified have 10. Right after "fit to content", the longest name
was still cut in the middle and every Modified cell ended in an ellipsis
("40 minutes a…"). Each column is now measured in its cells' own font and
padding.
* fix(dashboard): keep a renamed item among its sharer's in Files → Shared
With Shared sorted by "Shared by", renaming an item shared with the user
to edit placed its row by name alone, so it could land among another
person's items until the listing was loaded again. A row put back in
place now goes by its sharer first there, as the listing does.
* fix(dashboard): keep every item, and empty folders' places, in a downloaded zip
Downloading several items as one zip keyed each by its name, so two items
with the same name (in Files → Shared, two people can each share a
"Notes.txt") came out as one file, the other silently gone. Such names
now get " (1)" and so on in the zip, as a folder does for a duplicate.
Empty folders were put at the top of the zip by their own name, not where
they sat: zipping a folder holding x/y gave "y/" next to "x/". They now
keep their place.
dedupedName moves to helpers/, now that the zip uses it as well.
* fix(dashboard): give Files grid tiles both lines of their name
A tile has room for two lines of name, but names were cut to fit one:
"Quarterly financial report final version.pdf" showed as
"Quarterl…l version.pdf" over an empty second line. A name now shows whole
when it wraps into the two lines, and is cut in the middle, keeping its
extension, only as far as it has to be to fit them.
Where the browser wraps a name can't be told from text widths alone, so
the tiles are written and read back together, one layout a round rather
than one a tile.
* fix(dashboard): keep the Files listing when a refresh can't reach the server
A refresh of the folder on screen that failed for any reason replaced the
listing with "This folder couldn't be opened." and took New Folder and
Upload away. Returning to the tab triggers one, so opening a laptop before
its Wi-Fi reconnected, or a moment's lost connection during a re-sort, left
a folder that was fine looking broken until it was opened again. A refresh
that doesn't reach the server now leaves the rows as they are; one the
server answers with an error (the folder is gone) still says so.
* fix(dashboard): don't drop files added to a Files folder while a new folder is made
While New Folder (or New › file) waited for the server, every item added
to the folder on screen was dropped, not only the one being made, so a
file uploaded from another tab or device in that moment didn't show up
until the folder was listed again. Such items are now held until the
create is done and added then; the create's own comes through as an
update of the row already drawn for it.
* perf(dashboard): refresh Files on return to the browser tab only when Files is showing
Coming back to the browser tab listed the Files folder again even with
another dashboard tab in front, and in Files → Shared that meant every
share all over again. The refresh now waits until Files is next shown.
* fix(dashboard): move the keyboard focus off a Files arrow that disables itself
Pressing Enter on Back to reach the first folder disables Back while it has
the focus, and a disabled arrow is drawn at 10% opacity, focus ring
included, so the keyboard user lost track of where they were. The focus
now moves on to an arrow that still works, or to the listing.
* fix(dashboard): show "can't drop here" when dragging files from the computer where Files takes none
Files dragged in from the computer showed the copy pointer everywhere in
Files, then dropping on the Trash, in Shared, on a folder shared to view
only, or while a folder was loading did nothing. The pointer now shows the
drop isn't possible there.
* fix(dashboard): let Files' type-to-select find names with "i" in a Turkish browser
Typed letters were lower-cased for the browser's language and the names
they're matched against without one. In Turkish, "I" lower-cases to "ı",
so typing it never reached "Invoices". Both are now lower-cased alike.
* fix(dashboard): bring Files' Back/Forward along when a folder rename is undone
Renaming a folder points Back and Forward at its new name, but undoing the
rename left them there: Forward then led to "This folder couldn't be
opened" for a name the folder no longer had. Undo now takes them back to
the old name too.
* fix(dashboard): don't shrink Files → Shared's name column when it's dragged wider
In a narrow Shared listing, "Shared by" is laid out narrower beside a name
column with no set width. Dragging the name's divider gave it a width, at
which "Shared by" sprang back to its own and pushed the name narrower than
it started: dragging right made it 30px smaller, and there it stuck.
Sizing the name now keeps "Shared by" at the width it had on screen.
* docs(fs): note that move and copy never overwrite a folder holding the source
* fix(dashboard): keep the Files drop zone after files dragged in cross a folder row
Leaving a folder row while dragging files in from the computer also took
the highlight off the listing around it, as the row's notice bubbled up to
the listing's own. With the "can't drop here" pointer going by that
highlight, a drop on the listing after crossing a folder row was refused.
The row's notices stay with the row, and the listing goes by whether the
folder takes uploads.
* fix(dashboard): don't let a Files folder wait for ever on a rename to open
Opening a row waits for a rename on its way, which settles in the last
step of the rename's handling. A failure after the rename itself (such as
refreshing the folder's websites) never got there, and the folder then
wouldn't open until it was listed again. Opening waits five seconds at
most.
* docs(fs): drop the note on overwriting a folder that holds the source
The refusal is an edge case, and its error message already explains it.
