Releases: cozy-labs/cozy-desktop
File manager shortcut
Improvements for Windows 10 users:
- When you first register your computer on the Cozy, the app will add your
Cozy Drive folder to the Windows Explorer sidebar (near the OneDrive one).
If you disconnect from the settings, the sidebar shortcut will be removed.
Improvements for macOS users:
- When you first register your computer on the Cozy, the app will add your
Cozy Drive folder to the Finder favorites. It will still have a normal
folder icon though (same as the real folder).
Also the favorite will not be removed when you disconnect. You can still
easily remove it by hand.
These small details should be fixed soon. - The app will synchronize macOS folders without their custom icons (those
are stored in hidden files with weird character in their name, which is
not supported by the Cozy at the moment, and was triggering synchronization
errors).
Improvements for all users:
- The temporary .cozy-desktop folder inside your Cozy Drive one was renamed
to .system-tmp-cozy-desktop, to make sure even people displaying hidden
files in their file browser won't try to put files in it and expect them
to be synchronized. - Logging improvements (for debugging purpose)
Happy syncing!
UI improvements, support requests, MD5Sum, Windows hidden directories & fixes
This is for testing purpose only.
Do not install it, unless you know what you're doing.
Improvements for all users:
- You can now request support directly from the application.
- On the onboarding screen, you'll be warned in case you typed your email
address instead of the address of your Cozy. - The app will now start by default on login. You can still disable it in the
settings. - The activity indicator is now visible on deletions.
- Links are now opened in a new windows, so users don't end up with no way to
get back. - The content of a folder renamed offline will not be uploaded again.
- When a file was both updated locally and trashed remotely, it will be kept
with the updated content. - The app now enforces MD5Sum for all files, to ensure data consistency and to
prevent weird issues. - Disk space and revocation error messages should be clearer.
- Logs are easier to filter, which should help us to debug synchronization
issues.
Improvements for Windows users:
- You should not see weird
.cozy-desktop
directories anymore (including in
your home and yourCozy Drive
directories). - Fixed an issue with last modification date, which was preventing a file first
uploaded through the Cozy Drive web app, then renamed locally, to be synced.
Automatic update fixes
This is for testing purpose only.
Do not install it, unless you know what you're doing.
Improvements for all platforms:
- When an update was available, the app used to display the version number and
the release notes in the Settings. This was broken while migrating to the new
auto-update system. The issue is partially fixed, but it only shows the
summary instead of the full release notes for now. - The auto-update migration also revealed another issue: the app was checking
for updates every 1 or 2 minutes, triggering successive downloads of the
latest release. This should work as expected now.
Improvements for Windows users:
- The app was not downloading updates from the appropriate location on Windows
(while it was working on other platforms). This was fixed too.
Happy syncing!
Beta update, path/name limits, running app detection & Windows localization
This is for testing purpose only.
Do not install it, unless you know what you're doing.
Improvements for all platforms:
- A beta release! Although some cases remain where synchronization breaks, it
mostly works on all 3 platforms. Please report every issue! - Switching to beta was good timing to change the version number format, which
should finally fix the last auto-updates issue. - The app will detect and prevent synchronization of files/folders with
paths/names too long for your system, so you never end up with unusable
content on your hard drive. - When starting Cozy Desktop, it will detect an already running instance of the
app, make it visible and exit (instead of displaying a weird error message).
Improvements for Windows users:
- The app now detects and displays using the user language.
Happy syncing!
Automatic updates
This is for testing purpose only.
Do not install it, unless you know what you're doing.
Improvements for all platforms:
- A new auto-updates system which should work better on both Windows and macOS
- Fixed an issue preventing a locally renamed file to be updated on the remote
Cozy
Improvements for Windows users:
- The weird animation that was displayed while installing the app since the
alpha4 release should be replaced with a normal install dialog.
Finally, we would like to apologize to our Windows users, since auto-updates
actually didn't work in the alpha4 release. This should be fixed now. Thanks
for your patience.
Happy syncing!
Cozy Drive folder & Windows automatic updates
This is for testing purpose only.
Do not install it, unless you know what you're doing.
Improvements for all platforms:
- Files are now synchronized to your Cozy Drive folder (to better match the
Cozy Drive app name). If your already had a Cozy folder set up,
Cozy Desktop will continue to use it. If you want to switch to the new
folder, you can disconnect from your Cozy in the Settings, rename your local
Cozy folder to Cozy Drive (so you don't need to download everything
again), then restart Cozy Desktop, register and use the new folder. - Your computer now appears in your Cozy as Cozy Drive (your computer name).
Improvements for Windows users:
- Installer and app are signed now, which should prevent warnings and allow
us to support automatic updates. Since we use a standard certificate (not
one with Extended Validation), you'll still get a confirmation popup at
install time, until the app gets enough reputation in Microsoft SmartScreen
(the anti-phishing system included in Windows 8 and later). - This release (and upcoming ones) should now support automatic updates. But
previous releases didn't, so you'll still have to download and install this
one by hand. - A third-party component used by Cozy Desktop to monitor your local folder
was updated, fixing some issues on Windows.
Happy syncing!
Windows support, offline/conflict resolution improvements, reserved filenames
This is for testing purpose only.
Do not install it, unless you know what you're doing.
Improvements for all platforms:
- Restoring a folder from the Cozy trash is now supported.
- We fixed some conflict resolution issues. Creating / changing / restoring
files with the same name should be more reliable now. Some issues remain,
though. - Most offline actions should work now, except for deletions.
Improvements for Windows users:
- A release! Getting a code signing certificate took more time than expected,
though, so the app is not signed yet. This should be fixed in the next one. - Windows file/dir paths are now supported, making the synchronization usable,
hence the release. - Files and folders with reserved name, reserved characters or terminating
characters will not be synchronized locally and user will be warned.
Improvements for macOS users:
- The dock icon is now hidden when closing the Cozy Desktop window, so you
don't see it with cmd-tab when running in background - Files and folders with colon in their name will not be synchronized locally
and user will be warned of this character as being reserved on macOS
Better conflict management
This is for testing purpose only.
Do not install it, unless you know what you're doing.
Please note that this release and upcoming ones will only support the new Cozy stack v3.
- Improve conflict / error management and logging
- Rename app to Cozy Desktop (was cozy-desktop-gui), you'll have to remove the previous version manually.
macOS Testing Release
This is for testing purpose only.
Do not install it, unless you know what you're doing.
Please note that future releases will only support the new Cozy stack v3.
Fix range error
- Fix a big regression where sync stops working for a large number of files
