New Cozy v3 design, Windows 7/8 favorite & various fixes
Pre-release
Pre-release
Hello there! Sorry for the summer delay, the team took some rest, and recently
we were quite busy working on some huge synchronization improvements, but
that's for another story. So let's get back to the current release...
Improvements for all users:
- The onboarding (the successive screens where you configure Cozy Drive for
Desktop on first launch) now follows the new Cozy v3 design guidelines and
wording. The other screens were mostly updated too, especially the settings
which were merged into a single tab. In future releases, the tabs should
move to the top and we should progressively transition to a new popover
layout sticking to your systray, instead of the current floating window.
Some screens will still make use of a separate windows when relevant
(e.g. the Help one). - We also enlarged the Cozy login screen, the authorization screen (were you
allow the Cozy Drive for Desktop app to access the data in your Cozy) and
the Dashboard screen (the one showing recent updates). In case your display
has a small resolution, the app should not exceed the available space and
fall back to scrolling. - The disk space gauge should now effectively match the available space.
- The app was occasionnaly crashing on startup with a weird db Lock error.
This should not happen anymore. Please shout out loud in case it still does
for you. - We fixed an issue that was preventing errors to be properly notified
when sending a support request from the Help screen. We also made sure
that a favorite creation failure would not block the application. - We now have traces of failures for almost everything in the app except for
upgrades (which unfortunately seemed to be the source of issues recently, so
we'll probably add it too). This should help us fix issues regarding the
onboarding step for example. - We also added some missing translations.
- Last but not least we added the hopefully last missing checks to detect
conflicts while trashing/deleting folders from the Cozy.
Improvements for Windows users:
- Once configured, the app now adds a favorite to Windows 7 and Windows 8.x
explorer. - While uploading files from a Windows device, missing folders creation was
failing. This is fixed now. - We changed the way we hide some special folders on Windows. We extensively
checked it was working as usual on every supported Windows version, so this
should not be visible in any way for you. But in case you still start seing
some weird.cozy-desktop
or.system-tmp-cozy-drive
directories, please
tell us.
Happy syncing!
