PrintVault Desktop v0.2.25

Removing files is reversible now, and a scan can no longer wipe your index.

Your index survives a folder going missing

If the browser lost its handle on a folder, which cloud sync clients like OneDrive cause routinely by replacing a directory, the scan saw an empty folder, decided every file had been deleted, and stripped the whole index: tags, notes, collections, and the links print history hangs off. The files on disk were always fine, but everything you had typed about them was not.

A scan now stops the moment the top level fails to list, and says the connection was lost and that adding the folder again reconnects it. A folder that has genuinely been emptied still prunes as before.

This one predates the release it is fixed in by some months. If your library has ever looked thin after a sync, this is likely why.

Quarantine has a way back

Removing a duplicate or deleting a model moves files to _PrintVault_quarantine rather than destroying them, and the scanner skips that folder. Until now there was no way to get anything out of it without opening a file manager.

Settings now has Show what is in quarantine, which lists everything in there with the path it came from. Put one back, or all of them. A restore refuses to write over anything that has taken the old path in the meantime, and emptying the folder asks you to type it out, because by then it really is the last copy.

Deleting a whole model

You no longer have to remove files one at a time. The model view has a Delete that takes the lot, honours the quarantine setting, and tells you how many files and how much space before you commit.

Permanently deleting three or more files, or ten in duplicate cleanup, now asks you to type DELETE. Moving to quarantine deliberately does not, because making the recoverable path as annoying as the unrecoverable one only teaches people to turn the safety off.

A less cluttered model screen

The footer had grown to nine buttons and stood four rows tall on a phone. It is five now, with the rest behind More, and Delete no longer sits one slip away from Log print. File rows went the same way and no longer scroll sideways on a phone.

Smaller things

• Show in folder, for a single file or the whole model, on desktop.
• Arrow keys move around the library grid, Enter opens, Home and End jump to the ends.
• The removal setting is relabelled and now says it governs both duplicate cleanup and deleting a model.
