What changed

A fix release for the issue 32 follow-up and three things that were wrong on
screen.

Changed

• Presigned URLs are off by default on S3 storages (disable_presign: true). A presigned link hands the browser the bucket's endpoint, which on
  the LAN-only MinIO most self-hosters run turned every share download into a
  dead link (#32). Uploads and the downloads behind public share links now
  stream through filex unless the operator sets disable_presign: false —
  worth it only when the endpoint is reachable from users' browsers and
  accepts SDK-signed URLs. ⚠ A storage saved without the key streams from now
  on; set false explicitly to get the redirect back.
• The top search field says what it searches. It searches the whole
  storage (every storage at the root), never the open folder, so the
  placeholder now names the storage — "Search in Photos storage" — and
  "Search all storages" on Home, the root and the Recent/Starred/Shared/tag
  views. The folder-scoped box is still the filter bar's "Filter in this
  folder…".

Fixed

• The context menu is the same everywhere. On Recent, Starred, Shared with
  me, tag views, the Home cards and the Recently-opened tray a row offered only
  Open/Download/Copy/Star — no Rename, Move, Delete or Share — or, if a
  writable folder had been opened first, all of them plus a meaningless Paste.
  Rows in those views never carried their own permission level and the
  folder's level leaked in. Every listed row now carries perm and
  read_only from the server, the views forget the previous folder's level on
  entry, and the menu is built per row; only New folder/Upload/Paste stay out
  where there is no folder to put things in.
• Admin tables keep their actions column in view. Every admin table — and
  the token/key panels in the explorer — now scrolls sideways when it is wider
  than the page and pins the actions column to the right edge, the way the
  explorer's list view pins its ⋮ menu; the column no longer squeezes off
  screen on narrow windows. One shared stylesheet (web/src/styles/table.css)
  and ui/Table.vue's pinned column option.
• The admin Shares page copies the right link. It built the link from the
  browser's own address, so an administrator signed in on localhost or through
  a proxy copied a link nobody else could open (#32). GET /api/admin/shares
  rows now carry the canonical url from the configured public origin — the
  same one the share dialog has always used — and the page prefers it.
• The S3 "Disable presigned URLs" help text, STORAGE.md and SHARING.md say
  the switch governs share downloads too; the minimal compose example warns
  that http://localhost:5212 is only right on the machine running it.
• The admin sidebar no longer opens over the page on a phone. Below
  1024px the sidebar is a drawer with a backdrop, and it started open on every
  admin page, so the first tap went to the backdrop instead of the page. It now
  starts closed there, closes when a page is chosen, and comes back as the
  column when the window is widened.
• The search field said "Search all storages" on every admin folder: the
  scope check looked at the multi-storage mode (which the admin explorer is
  always in) rather than at whether a storage was open. It now names the open
  storage.

Upgrade notes

• No migrations. S3 storages without disable_presign now stream downloads
  (see Changed). GET /api/admin/shares rows gain url; the recent/starred/
  tagged listing rows gain perm and read_only.
