0.1.225

PDFium Gate 0.1.225

0.1.225 is a development/test release focused on Email Import, Archive Import, attachment integrity and safer document-record handling.

Highlights

• Import EML and MSG messages into normal PDFium Gate PDFs.
• Exact-source SHA-256 duplicate detection for imported email.
• Complete attachment list rendered into the generated email PDF.
• Direct clickable links from the generated email PDF to imported attachments.
• One localized sibling attachment folder per imported email.
  • Norwegian Bokmål: … Vedlegg/
  • English: … Attachments/
  • equivalent labels for the other supported UI languages.
• Direct attachments and members from multiple ZIP attachments share the same email attachment folder.
• ZIP members from email are flattened to filenames; the original archive member path remains technical provenance.
• Filename collisions are resolved deterministically with suffixes such as (2).
• ZIP is treated as a transport container, not a normal persistent email attachment document.
• Successful email imports do not require the original EML/MSG to remain in the Vault.
• Exact original EML/MSG retention remains available as an advanced opt-in and is off by default.
• Attachment import is transactional with byte read-back verification and rollback.
• PDF auto-registration races are handled safely and transaction-owned records are rolled back on failure.
• Generic manual Archive Import supports ZIP safety preflight, preserved archive directory structure, PDF registration and Archive Relationships.
• Successful manual ZIP import deletes the source ZIP only after the complete transaction succeeds.
• Failed manual ZIP import rolls back transaction-owned output and offers Keep ZIP / Delete ZIP.
• ZIP files copied through the operating-system file manager are detected through startup/focus reconciliation.
• DocumentInfo can show archive provenance and related files without requiring a live source ZIP path.
• Missing-document and document-record handling received additional fail-closed fixes and regression coverage.

Compatibility

• Obsidian minimum version: 1.13.7
• Desktop only.
• Most practical verification for this release was performed on Windows 11 / Obsidian 1.13.7 / Electron 43.3.0.

Practical verification completed

The development branch has practical confirmation for:

• automatic EML import;
• source staging cleanup after successful verified import;
• direct PDF attachments;
• multiple ZIP attachments in one email;
• one localized email attachment folder;
• source ZIP removal for successful email imports;
• complete attachment lists in generated email PDFs;
• direct opening of imported PDF attachments;
• DocumentInfo provenance for PDFs originating inside ZIP attachments;
• localized Norwegian Bokmål attachment-folder naming.

Remaining test focus for broader users

0.1.225 is still pre-release software. Broader testing is specifically useful for:

• unusual real-world EML/MSG structures and encodings;
• large/mixed ZIP attachments;
• manual ZIP arrival through Windows/macOS/Linux file managers;
• failed/corrupt/password-protected ZIP handling;
• rename/move behavior for imported non-PDF attachments;
• macOS and Linux runtime differences;
• future Obsidian/Electron/Chromium compatibility.

Back up the Vault before testing.
