v1.4.4

Reconnect without leaving the browser

The overflow menu has a Reconnect item. It starts a fresh helper and session and puts you back in the folder you were in — or on the root, if that folder is gone. Before, getting back from a dropped session meant returning to the start screen and navigating all the way down again.

It is always there while browsing. A session can go stale in ways the app cannot detect — the helper killed while the app sat in the background, or a modem restart sent as a raw DIAG packet, which leaves the helper talking to a modem that went away — and reconnecting a healthy session costs only a couple of seconds. The read-only lock comes back on afterwards, as on any fresh connection.

A helper that died now shows up as "lost the connection to the helper … use Reconnect in the menu" instead of a bare "Broken pipe".

"Done!" after a restart from a dialog

The Restart modem (SSR) buttons in the Bulk import and Disable features dialogs now say "– Done!" once the modem has come back with a working session, so you can tell the restart went through and the changes are live. Disabling another feature clears it again, since that change needs a restart of its own.

Thanks to @h3nnes (#6).

The bundled helper is 1.4.4, matching the app.
