Whatsie 6.0.3

A small maintenance release with drag-and-drop fixes and diagnostics improvements.

What's new

  • Drag-and-drop is clearer. While you drag files over an open chat, Whatsie now shows a "Drop files to send" hint, and when a dropped file can't be attached — for example a file the Flatpak/Snap sandbox isn't allowed to read (anything in /tmp, external drives, or folders outside Downloads/Pictures) — it now tells you why instead of doing nothing. Files from shared folders attach exactly as before.
  • Tray tooltip now reads "Whatsie" instead of "WhatsApp".
  • Bug reports include the CPU architecture in the diagnostics, making arch-specific issues easier to triage.

⬇️ Install / update

Get it from the Snap Store    Get it on Flathub

Linux

# Snap — any distro with snapd
sudo snap install whatsie          # first install
sudo snap refresh whatsie          # update

# Flatpak — from Flathub
flatpak install flathub com.ktechpit.whatsie   # first install
flatpak update com.ktechpit.whatsie            # update

# Arch Linux (AUR) — builds from source
yay -S whatsie      # or: paru -S whatsie

AppImage and a self-contained .deb (Qt bundled, installs on any modern Debian/Ubuntu) are attached to this release:

# AppImage
chmod +x whatsie-*.AppImage && ./whatsie-*.AppImage

# .deb (bundled Qt, installs to /opt)
sudo apt install ./whatsie_6.0.3_amd64.deb

Windows (x64)

Download from the assets below (Windows 10/11, 64-bit; bundles its own Qt runtime):

  • whatsie-6.0.3-x64.msi — installer (Start Menu + Desktop shortcuts, in-place upgrades)
  • whatsie-6.0.3-windows-x64.zip — portable, no install required

Notes for sandboxed builds

Drag-and-drop can only read files from folders the sandbox exposes (Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Desktop). This is a limitation of how the Linux sandbox handles drops — not specific to Whatsie — so files in /tmp or on external drives should be attached with the paperclip / attach button instead.

If Whatsie is useful to you, please consider supporting development:

Thank you!
