v0.1.0 — Phase 1: local explorer
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

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
