v0.8.0

Desktop half only: the agent's side is unchanged, so there's no gateway update or restart.

• Ask agent… in the Cloud Files toolbar: select files and choose Rename… (one item at a time), Move… or Delete…. Cloud Files writes that request, with the files, into the chat box for you to finish and send. It never sends anything, and Cloud Files itself still never renames, moves or deletes your files.

Install or update:

hermes plugins install electricsheephq/hermes-cloud-file-manager --enable

v0.7.3

Documentation only: no change to either half's behaviour, so there's nothing to update on the agent's side.

• The demo film now plays right on the README, under the link to the post on X.

Install or update:

hermes plugins install electricsheephq/hermes-cloud-file-manager --enable

v0.7.2

Documentation only: no change to either half's behaviour, so there's nothing to update on the agent's side.

• The README now links the demo film on X, right under the one-line summary: https://x.com/ElectricSheepIO/status/2120150858553774361

Install or update:

hermes plugins install electricsheephq/hermes-cloud-file-manager --enable

v0.7.1

Documentation only: no change to either half's behaviour.

Changed

• README: a one-line summary, badges, the install command and a three-step "Try it" now come first, before the
  feature list.
• README: "never deletes" now reads "never deletes your files", since the plugin does clean up its own temporary
  upload files.
• README: the drag-into-chat section now names the split-layout known issue (#55) and its workaround (Add to chat,
  or click into the target chat before dragging).

v0.7.0

Both halves change: update the agent's side too (and restart its gateway on Hermes 0.21.5).

Added

• Files the agent hands you show up as cards in its reply. When the agent writes ::cloud-file{path="..."},
  Desktop draws a card with the file's name, folder, size and date and Open, Preview, Download and Add to
  chat. Open and Preview take you to the file in Cloud Files. A path outside the shown folders, or a file that's gone,
  says so; an older agent side asks for an update. Needs Hermes 0.21.6 or newer.
• The agent knows what you see. In Desktop chats only, the plugin adds a short note to the agent's instructions:
  which folders Cloud Files shows, that you may have uploaded or edited files there, and how to hand a file over as a
  card. Telegram, the terminal and other places get nothing.
• Add to chat after an upload. A finished upload offers Add to chat: each file you dropped under the name it was
  saved as, and each dropped folder once.
• Agent side: GET /locate?path= finds the shown folder and entry for an absolute path, behind the usual guards.

Fixed

• The Cloud Files page no longer sits on loading bars when the agent can't be reached. If the first check fails it
  shows the error with Retry, like the + menu picker.
• A Save can't land in another folder after Settings change. Folder ids are positions in the settings list, so
  reordering the list while a file was open could point a Save, an upload, a new folder or a Drive import at another
  folder. Each write now carries the folder's path and the agent side refuses it if the folder changed. This needs
  both halves at 0.7.0: an older Desktop half keeps working but sends no path, so it doesn't get this check.
• The upload summary counts a folder that couldn't be created as a failure.

Changed

• The README leads with the command-line install from this repository
  (hermes plugins install electricsheephq/hermes-cloud-file-manager --enable), since a fresh Hermes can't always fetch
  the newest catalog entry, and says plainly that the plugin never deletes.

Cloud File Manager 0.6.3

Desktop only: the agent's side is unchanged apart from its version number.

Fixed

• Installs from the repository without a security-scan caution. The CSV reader's byte-order-mark check spelled the
  invisible U+FEFF character literally in its source, which Hermes's install scan reports as a hidden character
  (high, so "caution"). It is now written as the escape \uFEFF; the behaviour is unchanged.

Install: hermes plugins install electricsheephq/hermes-cloud-file-manager --ref 2e9914a7b4ec57b767d24354c66433f5c0ae62c1 --enable

Cloud File Manager 0.6.2

Cloud File Manager 0.6.2: live refresh in every window

Cloud Files now refreshes when the agent writes files from a chat in another Hermes Desktop window. Desktop sends a chat's tool events only to the window that shows the chat. Before this release, Cloud Files open in one window stayed stale while the agent worked in another.

• Each Desktop window passes the events that may change files to Cloud Files in its other windows, over an in-app channel. Only the event type and the agent travel, never a tool's arguments or output.
• The refresh keeps the same rules as before: the same agent only, at most one refresh per second, and New/Updated marks as usual.

Update

• Desktop: reinstall the plugin at this release; the Desktop half is what changed.
• Agent side: only its version number changed.

Full list: CHANGELOG.

Cloud File Manager 0.6.1

Cloud File Manager 0.6.1: marks that stay put, names that fit

Two fixes found while filming the 0.6.0 demo. Both are in the Desktop half.

• New and Updated marks stay with the folder. Opening a subfolder or a file and coming back keeps the folder's marks. Changes the agent made while you were away are marked as well. Each folder keeps its snapshot from when you first opened it, for as long as Cloud Files or the + → Cloud picker stays open (the 20 most recent folders).
• The agent's first new file is marked. A folder shown from a listing cached a moment earlier (reopening Cloud Files or switching agents within a minute) is read once more when it opens. So the next file the agent writes gets New instead of going into the snapshot.
• Long file names fit the preview and editor header. The name, agent and path stay on one line: the path gives way first, then the name is cut with an ellipsis (hover for the full name). A narrow or zoomed pane no longer stacks the name one word per line.

Update

• Desktop: reinstall the plugin at this release; the Desktop half is what changed.
• Agent side: only its version number changed, so a 0.5.0 or 0.6.0 agent works with this Desktop.

Full list: CHANGELOG.

v0.6.0: see what your agent just changed

Cloud File Manager 0.6.0: see what your agent just changed

Cloud Files and the + → Cloud picker now mark what changed while a folder is open. Files and folders the agent adds get a New mark; ones it changes get Updated. They appear as the list refreshes on its own after the agent's tools run. You can watch the agent's work land without hunting for it.

• Marks are counted from the first fresh listing of the folder you opened. Switching between Name and Date sorting keeps them, and so does opening a file and closing it. Opening another folder or agent starts fresh.
• A folder that is only partly loaded (more than one page, or a capped scan) marks only updates to entries it already listed, never New.
• Search results and Google Drive don't show marks.
• Screen readers hear "N new, M updated" once whenever the counts change.

The + → Cloud insert text, selection and everything else are unchanged.

Update

• Desktop: reinstall the plugin at this release; the Desktop half is what changed.
• Agent side: only its version number changed, so a 0.5.0 agent works with this Desktop. The usual hermes plugins install … --ref <this release> then a gateway restart keeps both halves on the same version.

Full list: CHANGELOG.

v0.5.0: Sort by date modified, Copy diagnostics

Find what your agent just made: sort by date modified. Both halves change in this release: the agent's side and the Desktop.

• Sort: Name / Date modified. Cloud Files and the + → Cloud picker get a Sort control. Date modified lists the open folder newest first, files and folders together, so recent work is easy to find. In a folder with more than 20,000 entries, the order covers the first 20,000 scanned. Search keeps its own order.
• Older agents keep working. Date sorting needs this release on the agent's side. Until the agent is updated, Date modified is disabled with a hint, and Name works as before.
• Copy diagnostics (#61). One button in the Cloud Files header copies what a bug report needs: the plugin's version on this computer and on the agent, Google Drive and date-sort support, how many folders it can show, and the last error code. Anything not known yet says unknown. It never copies folder names, paths, file names or error text, and it works even when the agent can't be reached. Add your Hermes Desktop version to the report separately.
• Text preview truncation (#57). A text preview now says it was cut short even when the file's reported size is out of date.

The + → Cloud insert text is unchanged.

To update: on the plugin's card in Capabilities → Plugins, choose Update to … where it is offered, restart the agent's gateway, then quit and reopen Hermes Desktop. On any other computer that uses Cloud Files, update the plugin there too and reopen Hermes Desktop. With only the Desktop updated, Date modified stays disabled on an older agent; with only the agent updated, the old Desktop has no Sort control or Copy diagnostics.
