v7.17.0
Added
- Forum topics appear immediately — Topic lists for forum/Topics-mode groups are now fetched up front, at the start of each chat's backup, instead of only at the end of a full run. Large, media-heavy forums no longer show "0 topics" while their media is still downloading; topics show up within seconds and message counts fill in as the backup progresses. (#200)
- "Backup in progress" indicator — The Backup Statistics panel shows a live indicator while a backup run is active, so it's clear when the figures are still being collected rather than final.
- "View all messages" for forums without topics — When a forum group has no topics recorded yet, the viewer now offers a direct link to browse the chat's messages instead of a dead-end "No topics found".
Changed
- Storage statistic reflects actual disk usage — The "Storage" figure is now measured from on-disk files (
du-style, counting deduplicated_sharedblobs once) rather than summing recorded media sizes, so it matches real disk consumption. Sizes are labeled with correct binary units (GiB/MiB/TiB). - Forum-topic fetching now paginates beyond 100 topics and retries on FloodWait, so large forums are captured fully.
Fixed
- Forum/Topics-mode groups showing "0 topics" in the web viewer during long, media-heavy backups. (#200)
Credits
- Thanks to @1235789gzy1 for reporting the forum-topic display and storage-statistic issues in #200.
