Cross-platform Tauri + Vue 3 client supporting AWS S3, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, and 17+ other S3-compatible providers.

What's new in v0.3.10

🎄 Holiday theme

From December 1 to January 15, S3 Explorer dresses up for the holidays:

  • pine-green and gold colors;
  • snow and Santa's sleigh at launch, until your first click or key press;
  • a small sleigh going back and forth in the empty search field (it fades out as soon as you click in it), and a garland at the top of the sidebar;
  • a little snowman that builds itself on the welcome screen and in empty folders.

The animations pause while S3 Explorer is in the background. Everything returns to the usual look on January 16. You can turn it off at any time in Settings → Appearance → Holiday theme. If your system is set to reduce motion, nothing moves: the colors, a still garland and the snowman, already built, remain.

🗂️ Compact view by default

The compact view, which fits more files on screen, is now the default. If you never chose a view mode, S3 Explorer switches to it with this update. If you picked the normal view, it stays that way. You can change it in Settings → Appearance → View Mode.

The toolbar above the file list is also slimmer, which gives the list a little more room.

🐛 Fixes

  • Prices in the license reminder and in the connection-limit dialog are now shown in euros, the currency licenses are billed in. They were shown in dollars.
  • The status bar below the search field no longer slips behind the file list header while a search is running.
  • The flags in Settings → Language now show on Windows, where they appeared as two letters ("FR", "GB"…).
  • Editing a connection no longer removes the buckets you added to it by hand, and no longer shows it again in the sidebar if you had hidden it.
  • In the unregistered version, the license reminder now waits at least 22 minutes after you close it before it can come back (10 minutes before).
