Add a Settings > Locations toggle that disables automatic category subfolders while keeping the selected base download folder as the automatic destination.
Persist the setting across frontend and backend startup paths and disable the category subfolder controls when the feature is off.
Fixes#6
Allow explicit empty category subfolders to resolve to the base download folder across settings, UI, and backend ownership paths.
Retry yt-dlp metadata and media downloads without browser cookies when the selected browser cookie database cannot be copied, while preserving real auth failures.
Fixes#6Fixes#7
Link Chrome and Chromium users to the manual load-unpacked instructions from the README and Settings > Integrations.
Advance the bundled extension submodule to the Chromium package build commit.
Remove the SOCKS5 example from the Network settings custom proxy field until normal file downloads support it end to end.
Reject non-HTTP custom proxy URLs in frontend normalization so Settings cannot emit unsupported proxy schemes to aria2-backed downloads.
Update proxy dispatch tests to preserve the HTTP path and cover rejected SOCKS5 and HTTPS custom inputs.
Normalize system proxy values from sysproxy, Windows registry, and environment fallbacks before handing them to download engines.
Apply the resolved proxy to direct metadata probes and yt-dlp media metadata requests so preview and final downloads use the same network path.
Enable reqwest SOCKS support and key media metadata caches by proxy/cookie inputs to avoid stale cross-proxy reuse.
Update yt-dlp to 2026.07.04 and refresh the bundled macOS runtime plus engine locks.
Route every non-media download through aria2 by removing the native HTTP fallback path, native GID handling, and the old direct-download harness.
Retry transient aria2 startup/RPC failures before failing, then show the real last error in the download row and Properties modal so Windows failures are diagnosable instead of silent.
Refresh docs and tests around the aria2-only file-download contract, and advance the Firefox extension submodule to its published wording cleanup.
- Refine toast animations and durations
- Prevent extension-captured cookies from being sent across cross-origin redirects
- Clear stale extension metadata properly for single-link handoffs
- Disable completion sound by default and update settings labels
- Handle AudioContext suspension for completion chimes
Modernize the Tools release surfaces for the cross-platform re-release checklist.
- make Speed Limiter presets unit-aware and persist custom removable quick presets
- keep diagnostic logging opt-in on clean installs and honor the saved log state on startup
- stage Scheduler enablement edits without discarding unsaved draft changes
- extend persisted settings and bindings for log opt-in and speed preset state
Verification:
- npm run build
- npm test -- --run src/store/useDownloadStore.test.ts
- cargo test --lib
- cargo test settings --lib
Rename the About footer tooling acknowledgement from download engines to credits so the label better reflects the aria2, yt-dlp, FFmpeg, and Deno attribution.
Use the Tauri opener plugin for Integration and About external actions so Firefox Add-ons, GitHub Releases, Source, and License controls work reliably in the desktop shell.
Replace manual update-check toasts with inline About-page state for checking, up-to-date, update-available, and error outcomes.
Modernize About copy by describing Firelink as a cross-platform download manager and removing non-clickable implementation-stack credits from the visible credits section.
Play the completion sound through the app with Web Audio so it is not tied to whether desktop notifications are enabled or whether a platform-specific notification sound name is supported.
Keep the notification body focused on completion status and leave the settings toggle available even when notifications are disabled.
Disable the native Windows frame at startup and render in-app window controls so packaged builds use Firelink's own titlebar placement instead of the default OS chrome.
Apply CREATE_NO_WINDOW to raw child processes used by the aria2 daemon and shared engine version checks. Route ffmpeg and deno checks through the same hidden version-check helper so Settings > Engine does not flash console windows.
Normalize Windows extended-length paths before returning approved download roots to the UI, while keeping canonicalization for backend safety checks. Detect yt-dlp's embedded runtime per platform so Windows onedir builds look for python*.dll instead of macOS Python.framework.
Verification: npm run build; cargo check --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml; cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml --lib; node --check scripts/smoke-packaged-app.js; Ruby YAML parse for .github/workflows/release.yml; git diff --check.
- Pass captured cookies and headers from UI state into the backend `fetch_metadata` command.
- Implement secure domain-matching redirect policy in the backend to prevent leaking cookies, headers, and Basic Auth credentials to third-party domains upon redirect.
- Ensure metadata fetches correctly identify authenticated files (e.g. from Gofile) without being redirected to login/error pages.
- Update 'fetch_metadata' to detect 'Accept-Ranges' HTTP header
- Persist 'resumable' flag in DownloadItem across backend and frontend
- Add confirmation dialog when pausing non-resumable downloads (single and bulk actions)
- Improve UI for start/pause/options buttons by adopting the application accent color on hover
- Ensure `initDB` sorts active items by `queuePosition` before dispatching to preserve expected backend execution order on startup.
- Update `resumeDownload` to explicitly move items to the end of the queue visually by assigning a new max `queuePosition`, synchronizing frontend representation with backend queue behavior.
- Change `queuePosition` calculations to use `Math.max` via `reduce` rather than array `.length`, preventing duplicate queue position assignments upon deletions and avoiding call stack limit exceptions for massive queues.
- Modify `DownloadTable.tsx` sorting to enforce active downloads appearing at the top of the queue view, deferring to `queuePosition` only for pending items.
- Exclude active items from `moveInQueue` logic and UI to prevent visual corruption and silent queue scrambling.
- Use `e.detail === 2` for double clicks in `DownloadTable.tsx`
- Add `user-select: none` to list items in `index.css`
- Delete existing assets before enqueueing in `redownload` action
- Remove redundant `onDoubleClick` props from `DownloadItem.tsx`
- Revert hydrate_extension_pairing_token to consult the DB's
keychainAccessGranted flag instead of unconditionally skipping the
keychain. When the flag is true the backend tries the keychain; if
macOS trusts the current binary (no code-signature change) the read
succeeds silently and the modal is suppressed. When the flag is
false the keychain is skipped and the modal is shown exactly once.
- Fix the Grant Access button in the KeychainPermissionModal by
writing the result (token, persistent flag) directly into the store
instead of calling hydratePairingToken() again. The re-hydration
raced with Zustand's async persist middleware, which could read
keychainAccessGranted=false from the DB and flip persistent back
to false, re‑showing the modal in an endless loop.
- The scheduler defaults (enabled: false) were already correct in
both the Rust default_settings() and the frontend Zustand store;
no code change needed.
- Disable log capture by default in both backend (LOG_PAUSED=true) and
frontend (isPaused=true) to avoid unnecessary disk I/O and battery drain.
- Add a global contextmenu listener that prevents the webview's default
right-click menu (Reload, etc.) so the app behaves like a native macOS
window. Custom context menus in DownloadItem, LogsView, and Sidebar
still work because their handlers preventDefault() before the document
listener fires.
- Sort the download table by queuePosition when viewing a specific queue
so the move-up/down controls produce a visible reorder instead of a
silent position swap with no UI feedback.
- Rework the keychain access flow to eliminate the OS credential prompt
that appeared before the app's own KeychainPermissionModal after every
binary update. hydrate_extension_pairing_token now always skips the
keychain; only the explicit Grant Access button (grant_keychain_access)
triggers the OS prompt, which is user-initiated and therefore acceptable
even when macOS trust resets after a code-signature change.
- Ensure yt-dlp partial files are cleaned up on error exits.
- Handle Semaphore closure gracefully without panicking.
- Replace busy-polling in wait_permit_released with Notify.
- Fix extension server silent failure with retry loop and logging.
- Ignore malformed existing scheduler settings instead of failing.
- Add final symlink checks before revealing/opening downloads.
- Delay listener registration in App.tsx until core is ready.
- Sanitize Referer header to prevent injection.
- Prevent UI hang by processing aria2 unpause actions asynchronously
- Bypass internal aria2 limits to honor Firelink's max concurrent setting
- Improve visibility of the 'Recheck engines' button in Settings
- Refactor Speed Limiter checkbox into a toggle and fix text selection
- Update Add window font and placeholder to match modern design standards
- Default LOG_PAUSED to true in backend.
- Combine tauri_plugin_log filters to drop backend logs when paused.
- Create frontend logger wrapper to intercept and drop logs before IPC when paused.
- Sync LogsView state directly with logger wrapper and handle initialization races.
- Implemented `clear_logs` Tauri command to physically wipe local log files.
- Added a global `ErrorBoundary` to cleanly intercept React render loops (e.g. Error #185) and provide readable stack traces.
- Hardened `tauri_plugin_log` to filter out `webview`, `hyper`, `reqwest`, `rustls` log noise.
- Replaced the default browser right-click menu in LogsView with a custom native React menu for copying text securely.
- Disabled Backspace/Delete keyboard shortcuts when any app modal is active
- Synced frontend LogsView pause state with the backend on initial mount
- Added a privacy and telemetry note in the Logs view to inform users
- Removed legacy polling dead code from LogsView
- Replaced LogViewer setInterval polling with reactive attachLogger
- Added backend LOG_PAUSED toggle to fully halt logs and save I/O
- Added native text selection to logs console
- Implemented Backspace/Delete keyboard shortcuts across DownloadTable and Sidebar with modal-aware safeties
- Integrated cross-platform sysinfo logging for telemetry
