Changes since 0.4.1

  • Faster copies through the phone's folder: copying a file to or from the phone in Dolphin, Thunar or Nautilus now goes over its own HTTPS connection, like other file transfers, instead of in 512 KiB pieces over the shared connection. A copy no longer waits on a round trip per piece, and notifications and other messages aren't held up behind file data. Thumbnails, small files and random access keep the small requests.

    On a Pixel over 5 GHz, copying a large file from the phone went from 8.6 MB/s to 19.3 MB/s. Wi-Fi still sets the limit: on 2.4 GHz with a weak signal, even a plain TCP connection to the phone stays under 1 MB/s. If your router uses one name for both bands, the phone may drop to 2.4 GHz.

Both the app and the daemon need updating for this; with only one of them updated, copies work as before.
