OpenBridge v0.11.0
It remembers you: pair once, and your computer reconnects by itself. Plus rename and delete, folder sizes, search, update alerts, Chinese on the phone and Intel Macs.
Added
- Remembered pairing. Pair once with the 6-digit code; after that the Mac or PC reconnects by itself whenever the phone is sharing, even at a new address or on a Wi‑Fi where phones don't show up. Your phones are listed under Your phones on the computer, and the phone lists the computers it trusts under Trusted computers, with Forget on both sides.
- The phone shows who's asking. Pairing requests and the status say the computer's name, like "Pair with Aditya's MacBook Air?" and "Aditya's MacBook Air is connected".
- Rename and delete files and folders on the phone, from the Mac (right-click, the ⋯ menu, or ⌘⌫) and Windows (the ⋯ menu, F2 and Delete). Deleting always asks first, since the phone has no bin. On the Mac this works over USB File transfer too.
- Folder sizes. Folders show their total size over Wi‑Fi, counted on the phone in the background, and sort by size. Very large folders show "≥" once the phone has counted for a few seconds.
- Search and a photos-and-videos filter in every folder, on the Mac and Windows.
- Update alerts. All three apps check GitHub once per launch and show a link when a new version is out. Nothing is installed automatically.
- 简体中文 on the phone. The Android app follows the phone's language, like the Windows app.
- Intel Macs. The Mac app is now a universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel.
Changed
- The phone keeps one identity for as long as the app is installed, and gives each computer its own secret, stored only as a hash. It prefers port 41987, so saved computers find it again.
- A computer the phone no longer trusts (forgotten, or the app reinstalled) is told so straight away and asked to pair again, instead of timing out.
Notes
- Update the phone app and the computer apps together. Computers still pair with older phone apps, but can't rename, delete or measure folders on them.
- After updating, pair once more: phones on 0.9.10 and earlier made a new identity every time they started sharing.
