v0.17.7

[0.17.7]

Fixed

• samba-common-bin (needed for nmblookup, used since v0.15.0 for
  LAN hostname display) was missing from both install.sh and
  README's manual install instructions - added to both.

Changed

• README rewritten to reflect the current feature set: Tailscale
  discovery, hostname display and friendly mount paths, credential
  sharing across LAN/Tailscale addresses, the server-grouped Mounted
  tab with disk usage bars and lazy-unmount fallback, the "open
  without mounting" button (and its smb://-encryption caveat), and
  Diagnostics' required/recommended tool split.

[0.17.6]

Fixed

• Listing shares on a host asked for login on every single app
  restart, even when shares from that same server were already
  mounted persistently (fstab) and their credentials were sitting
  right there in the wallet - listing never checked the wallet at
  all, only this session's in-memory cache (empty on every fresh
  start). Now, before prompting, it checks whether any share on that
  host is already mounted and tries that mount's saved wallet
  credentials first.

[0.17.5]

Fixed

• "Open in file manager" now checks whether the share is already
  mounted through this app first - if so, it opens the real local
  folder (/mnt/servername/share) directly instead of browsing
  smb://, sidestepping the KIO/libsmbclient encryption-support
  limitation entirely for anything already mounted. The smb://
  browsing path (with its pre-check) is now only used for shares that
  aren't mounted yet.

[0.17.4]

Fixed

• Changing the display language rebuilds all tabs from scratch
  (needed to re-render translated text), which was silently wiping
  out this session's in-memory credential caches - forcing a fresh
  login even for servers already used moments earlier. These caches
  now live in a shared module (core/session_cache.py) instead of as
  WizardTab instance attributes, so they survive a tab rebuild.
• "Open in file manager" now does the same full credential lookup as
  "Mount" (session cache, wallet, listing cache, then a login prompt
  if genuinely needed) before testing browsability - previously it
  could test with no credentials at all and misdiagnose "we don't
  have a login yet" as "this server doesn't support browsing".
• Discovery tab now refreshes each expanded host's Mount/Mounted
  button state whenever the tab becomes visible again - previously,
  unmounting a share from the Mounted tab left it shown as "Mounted"
  back in Discovery until the app was restarted.

Known limitation

• The pre-check before "Open in file manager" is a best-effort
  heuristic using a separate smbclient connection - it can still miss
  cases where KIO's own browsing session fails differently per-share
  even on the same server (its own confusing error may still appear
  occasionally).

[0.17.3]

Added

• "Open in file manager" now tests the share via smbclient first,
  using whatever credentials are already known for it, before handing
  off to xdg-open. Some servers (notably those with
  smb encrypt = mandatory in smb.conf) can fail here even though a
  real mount works fine - libsmbclient's SMB3 encryption support lags
  behind the kernel module's - and KDE's own error for that case is a
  confusing "file or directory does not exist". A clear, own message
  is now shown instead, suggesting "Mount" as the alternative.

[0.17.2]

Fixed

• Saved mount credentials are now keyed by hostname (when known)
  instead of the raw address - previously, the same physical server
  reachable both via LAN and via Tailscale under two different IPs
  was treated as two unrelated servers, each needing its own saved
  password. They now share one wallet entry.

[0.17.1]

Fixed

• Discovery tab: button rows (Mount/Persist/Open, and the server
  remove button) now have a small right margin instead of touching
  the column's edge directly.

[0.17.0]

Added

• Small folder-icon button next to each share in Discovery to open it
  directly in the system's file manager via smb://host/share
  (through xdg-open), without mounting it through this app at all -
  useful for a quick look without committing to a full mount.

v0.16.2

[0.16.2]

Removed

• core/credentials.py - empty, unused stub left over from an early
  version.
• Dead include_optional parameter on get_missing_packages() -
  never called with True anywhere.
• OPTIONAL_TOOLS alias in core/diagnostics.py - nothing referred
  to it besides its own definition; RECOMMENDED_TOOLS is used
  directly now.

Fixed

• Last remaining Polish-language comment in main.py, missed by the
  earlier full English pass because it had no Polish-specific
  characters to grep for.

[0.16.1]

Fixed

• Mounted tab: selecting a share and then clicking "Unmount selected"
  could silently do nothing if the 3-second auto-refresh happened to
  fire in between - the refresh rebuilds the tree from scratch,
  which was quietly wiping out the selection. The currently selected
  share (matched by its mountpoint) is now preserved across refreshes.

[0.16.0]

Added

• Mount points now use the friendly hostname for the directory name
  (e.g. /mnt/torrentserver/storage) instead of the sanitized IP
  (/mnt/192_168_0_201/storage), when a hostname is known. The actual
  SMB connection - and the fstab entry for persistent mounts - always
  still uses the real IP address, never the hostname, since that
  doesn't depend on any name resolution working at boot/mount time.
  Falls back to the old IP-based naming if no hostname is known for
  that server.
• Mounted tab now groups shares by server instead of a flat list -
  e.g. torrentserver as a parent row with storage and
  storage20tb underneath it. Unmounting a server-group row (instead
  of a specific share) shows a message asking you to pick the
  individual share instead.

v0.8.1

• Custom app icon (resources/icon.svg) - a network-share folder
  glyph, wired into the window title bar and the desktop launcher.
