Changes since 0.4.2

  • Send folders, and many files much faster: pocketlink send and Send to phone in your file manager now take folders too. Several files or folders go as one stream that the phone unpacks as it arrives, creating several files at once. On a Pixel over Wi-Fi, 200 small files took 1.1 s instead of 8.1 s. A folder lands as a folder of its name in Downloads (or the folder picked in the app), and an interrupted transfer continues where it stopped, without duplicates.
  • Faster copies of small files through the phone's folder: copying many small files to the phone in Dolphin, Thunar or Nautilus takes one round trip per file instead of three, about 30% faster. Most of the remaining time is Android registering each new file.
  • pocketlink status -json lists the features each phone supports.

Both the app and the daemon need updating. A phone with an older app still gets files one by one, but can't receive folders.
