Input de-collision: the control bar is now usable while the file browser is open.

What changed

  • A now opens the highlighted entry. Folder navigates, video plays or streams. Previously A downloaded and the trigger opened, which meant the trigger was doing two jobs at once.
  • New dedicated Download button on the control bar (arrow icon). It downloads the entry highlighted in the browser; folders still ask for confirmation and show their size first.
  • The trigger is now pointer-only. Laser clicks go to panel rows and control-bar buttons, so nothing competes for the same press.
  • Fixed the raycast that hid the bar. The panel hit tests bailed out early when the ray missed the panel, which also swallowed rays aimed at the control bar below it (and at the timeline / time readout). They now fall through to the bar test. This was the actual reason the bar was unclickable while browsing.
  • Downloads window button got its own list icon so it is not confused with the new download-arrow button.
