0.1.9-wakelock.1

14th July, 2026

I had kept this feature on the back burner for a long time, but I have finally implemented it. I expect to add more small improvements like this over time. The Fancy Kit toolbox made the work much easier; have a look if it interests you.

New features

• DiffZip now requests a best-effort screen wake lock during backup, restore, and selective-sync Fetch and Send operations.
• Overlapping and nested operations share one platform wake lock.

Improved

• Restore completion now waits for every selected archive file to finish writing before completion is reported and the screen wake lock is released.

What to verify

• Install 0.1.9-wakelock.1 through BRAT and confirm existing settings are preserved.
• On mobile, run a backup and confirm the display remains awake during the operation.
• After the backup finishes, confirm normal screen timeout behaviour resumes.
• Restore a file and confirm the display remains awake until the restored file has been written.
• Confirm the restored content matches the selected revision.
• Run selective-sync Fetch and Send and confirm the display remains awake during each operation.
• Confirm cancellation and errors do not leave the display permanently awake.

I will record the results on PR #17.
