[ v4.0.6 Wishlist ] share your enhancement suggestions ✨

[axpnet]

Welcome to the rolling wishlist for v4.0.6 and the v4.x releases that follow. This thread collects enhancement suggestions from the AeroFTP community and triages them into the upcoming v4.x tags.

The previous wishlist (#270) ran across the v4.0.0 to v4.0.5 stretch and shipped a large amount: the native AeroCrypt encrypted overlay (turn any backend into a zero-knowledge vault, browsed in the normal dual panel), AeroVault v4 with Reed-Solomon self-healing, an interactive CLI (full-screen TUI plus an inline profiles -i menu), server groups, file versioning for Filen and MEGAcmd, per-protocol credential persistence, a custom icon picker and docs links on every Quick Connect page, and a wave of AeroFile polish (rubber-band selection, click-to-deselect, draggable dialogs everywhere, lossless/lossy image labels). With v4.0.5 out, we close that thread and open this one.

---

Three tracks shape the project, this thread is one of them

To keep it clear where a given idea belongs, the three planning surfaces of AeroFTP are:

1. This Wishlist (Discussions, Wishlist category): small community asks, one suggestion per comment, less than a few days of work each, eligible for the next or near-next tag.
2. COMMUNITY ROADMAP (#162): multi-day architectural items driven by community priority, shaped by votes across release cycles.
3. Engineering roadmap (owner-driven, internal): the infrastructure work that does not start from a community request, planned in the dev docs.

The three tracks intentionally feed into the same releases. A v4.x tag will typically land items from all three.

How to contribute

Please post one suggestion per comment so each one can be reacted to and discussed independently. A good suggestion includes:

• What: a short description of the enhancement
• Why: the use case or problem it solves
• Where (optional): which area of the app, for example IntroHub, file manager, AeroVault, AeroCrypt, AeroSync, AeroAgent, AeroFile, CLI, MCP, mobile, providers, docs

Reactions on individual comments are welcome and count as "I want this too" signals. Free-form replies discussing trade-offs are also welcome under the same comment.

Scope

In scope:

• UI/UX improvements, small features, provider polish, CLI/MCP flag additions, accessibility, performance tweaks, anything that fits comfortably in a release window
• Documentation gaps and improvements (docs.aeroftp.app, README, in-app help)
• Workflow ergonomics that surface during real use

Out of scope:

• Bug reports: please open a dedicated Issue using the bug template instead
• Large new modules, multi-day architectural changes, paid integrations: those go to the COMMUNITY ROADMAP thread ([ROADMAP] Community Roadmap: big features for upcoming releases #162) where priority is set by community votes across release cycles

Companion thread: COMMUNITY ROADMAP (#162)

Big features and multi-day architectural pieces live in #162 "COMMUNITY ROADMAP". If your idea fits the wishlist (less than a few days of work, in scope for the next tag), keep it here. If it is a bigger piece, #162 is the right home for it.

Carry-over from #270

Items raised in the v4.0.5 wishlist (#270) that did not make a tag and are still open are eligible for triage here. The rule:

• If your suggestion from [ v4.0.5 Wishlist ] share your enhancement suggestions ✨ #270 was acknowledged but never shipped, please post it again as a fresh comment here with a one-line originally from #270 comment <link> trailer. That keeps reactions per item meaningful in this cycle and avoids carrying stale assumptions over.
• Items already shipped between v4.0.0 and v4.0.5 are considered done and do not need to be re-raised. The closed [ v4.0.5 Wishlist ] share your enhancement suggestions ✨ #270 thread and the 4.0.x tracker list what landed.

Triage

Before cutting each v4.x tag we will:

• Mark the comments included in the upcoming release
• Mark the ones deferred to a later milestone (next tag or COMMUNITY ROADMAP, depending on size)
• Keep the 4.0.x tracker updated with what shipped

Reactions on comments inform priority. Tie-breaks favor items that improve daily-driver ergonomics for tester profiles (existing community testers, documentation drilldown, error message clarity).

Thanks in advance for the input.

🟢 v4.0.6 is out.

This one is a small consolidation release rather than a feature drop, so the wishlist mostly rolls forward untouched. The headline is the AeroVault crate convergence: the full AEROVAULT3 container and the revision 4 Reed-Solomon error correction now live in the published aerovault crate (0.6.0 on crates.io), so the desktop app, the standalone CLI and any third-party Rust project share one audited implementation instead of parallel copies. Alongside it: the SFTP→FTP profile-edit crash fix (#300), the CLI benchmark report tables, cross-profile --compare and the interactive/--tui picker polish (#277), and a folder-upload skip/overwrite policy fix from an independent CLI audit.

Per-item detail with commits and statuses lives in the tracker: #337.

Suggestions for the next tag continue in the fresh v4.0.7 wishlist: #339.

Thanks as always for the input.
