LibrePortal released this

LibreSync 0.4.0 tidies where your files go on the phone and how you choose them.
One LibreSync folder
- Everything LibreSync brings to your phone now lives in one folder, by server: LibreSync/LibrePortal//SharedMusic, LibreSync/Nextcloud//Documents, and so on. Nothing from two servers can mix.
- Every music, video and photo app still finds the files.
- Your files from 0.3 are moved there by themselves, once. Nothing comes down again and nothing is deleted. Home tells you when it is done.
- This needs "All files access". Without it, nothing breaks: the same folders go inside Music, Movies, Pictures and Documents instead, and move over by themselves if you allow it later. If you take it away again, they move back and syncing carries on.
- Empty folders left at the old places are tidied away. A folder with anything in it is never touched.
- Photo upload still reads from your camera, as before.
Permissions, in one place
- After signing in, one short screen shows what LibreSync needs and why: all files access, notifications, battery, and your photos when photo upload is on. Allow each, or skip the optional ones.
- Settings has a Permissions card with the same switches.
Sync all, or choose
- Each server now starts with "Sync all folders". Turn it on to sync everything, with a folded list of what that means, and folders added later come along too. Turn it off to choose folder by folder.
- Your LibrePortal's shared folders start with everything on. Nextcloud and ownCloud start with nothing on, and show how much would come down, and whether it fits, before syncing all.
Where on this phone
- Each folder's details, and "What we found", now have "Where on this phone": LibreSync's own folder, or any folder you pick. Files already there can move along. Two folders can't share one place.
Shared folders listed once
- A Nextcloud or ownCloud on your LibrePortal no longer lists SharedMusic, SharedPhotos and SharedVideo a second time. One line says they come from LibrePortal.
- If both copies were already syncing, the second copy is paused, and Home offers once to remove it. Removing it only stops syncing; no file is deleted.
A calmer look
- Buttons look like buttons: pills with icons, the main one filled, Disconnect and Sign out in red.
- Each folder's status sits in its own strip with its Sync button, and servers show their person, padlock and address as small chips.
- The last folder on Home scrolls clear of the Sync now bar.
Nothing is ever deleted on your server.
