FileRun 20220113

The changes of FileRun 20220113, released in January 2022.

  • Important fix: Updating/synching files via the desktop apps.
  • Important fix: Text editing on mobile devices.
  • Important fix: Downloading files via newly created web links when sending files via e-mail.
  • Important fix: Vips failing to generate thumbnails for files with non-latin characters in their names.
  • Important fix: Hiding files and folders via $config['app']['hidden_file_names'].
  • Important UI fix: Better fit the logo in the main user interface.
  • Important fix: Uploading, other file management operations and navigation when the current folder is no longer present in the folder tree, for example when a parent folder has been reloaded.
  • Important fix: Admin users, except the superuser, not being able to update web link settings without setting a password.
  • Big improvement: Thumbnails for plain text files (such as .txt, .md, etc) and source code files (ex: javascript, css, etc), are now generated almost instantaneously, with no server requirements whatsoever, and no space taking on the server. The text is also very sharp so that you can easily read the file contents and locate the file of interest. Note: the update will not remove the thumbnails already cached for these files and you won't see a difference until you clear the thumbnail cache for the existing text files.
  • New small feature: New plugin for viewing EML and MSG e-mail message files. Requires "mailparse" PHP extension for EML files and "msgconvert" for MSG files.
  • Improvement: Usernames can now contain the plus character (to allow for alias e-mail addresses).
  • Small improvement: Added support for editing TSV, tab-separated values files using the CSV plugin.
  • Small improvement: Added yml to be recognized as a YAML file type.
  • UI improvement: the transparency pattern when viewing image previews using the dark theme.
  • UI improvement: made the copy/move window resizable.
  • UI fix: "Copy direct link" and "Control panel" file context menu options are now shown for files under "Photos"/"Videos"/"Music" > "Last uploaded"/"By date"/"By tag".
  • UI fix: "Copy direct link" file context menu option is now shown for files under a collection, and under "Starred".
  • UI fix: login form fields not visible on Firefox and Safari
  • UI fix: Made audio player track bar fit the available space.
  • UI fix: opening the audio player no longer makes changes to the grid columns.
  • Fix: Character encoding handling for "Text Editor" and "Text Viewer" plugins.
  • Fix: Better error reporting when checking for the "vipsthumbnail" binary path from the control panel.
  • Fix: WebDrive error saying that there is no available space on the server when "Enable Quota Processing" setting is enabled.
  • Fix: Browsing shared folders with many subfolders (more than 100) maintains permissions in the user interface.
  • Fix: LibreOffice preview of office files when FileRun runs via Docker.
  • Fix: command line script 'cron/empty_trash.php' not working.
  • Fix: PHP notice from css/ext.php.
