Choose a tag to compare

@RedaKarimi RedaKarimi released this 23 Apr 09:51

First tagged build of LinkDrive.

What works

  • Local file explorer on desktop (Windows, cross-compiled from Linux via cargo-xwin)
  • Self-installing single binary — run LinkDrive-Setup-0.1.0-win-x64.exe, it installs itself to %LOCALAPPDATA%\LinkDrive, registers in Add/Remove Programs, and launches
  • Terms of Service gate during install (must scroll + accept)
  • Windows-style explorer: Details / List / Tiles / Small/Medium/Large icons (Ctrl+1..6)
  • Resizable columns, right-click header to toggle visibility (Name, Size, Type, Modified, Permissions, Owner)
  • Unified omnibox — path nav + in-folder search with auto-detect
  • Inline image thumbnails in all views
  • Right-click context menu (Open, Rename, Copy as path, Delete, Properties, …)
  • Image, video, text preview pane

Artifacts

  • LinkDrive-Setup-0.1.0-win-x64.exe — self-installer, 3.87 MB (x86_64)

Known gaps

  • VPS (SFTP) access — Phase 3
  • Mobile client — Phase 2
  • Not code-signed (Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run)
  • Drag-drop / cut-copy-paste not implemented
