Backend — Photos timeline now groups by real capture date instead of upload time. New MediaMetadataService (FileLifecycleHook) extracts EXIF DateTimeOriginal from images and container creation_time from videos (mov/mp4/mkv) via nom-exif, timezone-correct (OffsetTimeOriginal), persisting captured_at so the existing media_sort_date trigger takes over. Adds POST /admin/photos/metadata/reextract to backfill existing media. Falls back to upload date when no embedded date exists.
Frontend — premium grid cards: combined metadata line (relative date · size, owner avatar when shared), custom selection checkbox with a clear checked state, uniform full-width 4:3 thumbnail tiles independent of filename length, centered file-type icons, and a hit-test fix so checkbox/star/kebab clicks reach the controls (the decorative thumbnail no longer captures pointer events). Notification messages internationalised across all 16 locales. Broader polish: design tokens, a11y/focus-visible states, brand + PWA assets.
Chore — bump semver-compatible dependencies (cargo upgrade); add nom-exif 3.6.1.

a drop outside of the browser will:
- upload the file if only 1 file selected
- upload a .zip of the directory or multiple selection (browsers do not permit multiple upload yet)
note: I had to create a new handler because a post request to /api/batch/download is possible via JS but it will create a memory blob in the browser, during the drag action.
This may exhaust the browser's memory if heavy files
This will initiate zip creation from the server even if drop is canceled
The best approach is to add a handler supporting GET calls, this call will be triggered by the browser on drop action outside of it's window
- change worker: do not cache html pages (not necessary)
- remove use of window.XXX and maximize import/export,
this will provide more clarety,
show circular dependencies + you will benefit IDE help
- JWT secret auto-generates and persists to <STORAGE_PATH>/.jwt_secret
- Remove setup token: first admin setup is open until system initialized
- Fix schema.sql: move CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm/ltree to top
- Update login UI and auth.js to remove setup token fields
Root cause: localStorage keys 'oxicloud_recent_files' and
'oxicloud_favorites' were global — shared across all users on the same
browser. When user A logged out and user B logged in, user B could see
(and access) user A's recent files and favorites.
Fixes applied:
recent.js:
- Storage key now user-specific: 'oxicloud_recent_files_{username}'
- getStorageKey() derives key from current user in localStorage
- migrateFromLegacyKey() moves data from old global key on init
- Legacy global key is always removed after migration
favorites.js:
- Same pattern: 'oxicloud_favorites_{username}'
- getStorageKey() + migrateFromLegacyKey() added
auth.js (logout):
- Clears user-specific recent and favorites keys before removing
user data, plus removes any legacy global keys
Bumps service worker cache to v13.
Root cause: when window.app.currentPath was empty/falsy (due to timing,
page state reset, or initialization), the frontend sent parent_id: null.
The backend then created folders at the storage root instead of inside
the user's home folder.
Backend fix (folder_handler.rs):
- Added AuthUser extractor to create_folder handler
- When parent_id is None, auto-resolves the user's home folder
('My Folder - {username}') as the parent folder
- Folders are now always created inside the user's directory tree
Frontend fix (fileOperations.js):
- Changed parent_id fallback from null to window.app.userHomeFolderId
- Prevents sending null parent_id even if currentPath is reset
Search in subfolders: no fix needed — search_recursive() already
traverses the filesystem correctly; it was only failing because folders
were physically flat instead of nested.
Bumps service worker cache to v12.
Trash view:
- Fix 'Invalid Date': use item.trashed_at (ISO 8601) instead of item.deleted_at * 1000
- Fix literal i18n key 'files.file_types.file': determine type from file extension
(pdf, image, video, audio, text, document) since trash DTO has no mime_type
- Fix column alignment: remove checkbox from trash header (not applicable),
add .trash-header CSS class matching the 5-column grid layout
Recent view:
- Fix header/row column misalignment: add empty placeholder div for indicator
column and .recent-header CSS class matching the 5-column grid
- Fix missing i18n key: use 'recent.accessed' instead of 'files.last_accessed'
- Fix default typeLabel not internationalized: use i18n.t('files.file_types.document')
Favorites view:
- Fix header/row column misalignment: add empty placeholder div for indicator
column and .favorites-header CSS class matching the 5-column grid
- Fix default typeLabel not internationalized: use i18n.t('files.file_types.document')
Bump SW cache to v11.
Replace the floating upload toast with a notification bell in the top bar
(between language selector and user avatar). All upload progress, completion,
and quota errors now flow through the bell dropdown panel.
- Add notification bell button with animated badge counter
- Dropdown panel shows per-file upload progress bars and overall batch progress
- Bell rings on new notifications when panel is closed
- Upload success/error states with color-coded icons
- Quota exceeded errors shown as notification items
- Clear all button to dismiss notifications
- Panel auto-opens when upload starts
- Full dark mode support
- Mutual exclusion with user menu (opening one closes the other)
- i18n keys for en/es (notifications.title, notifications.empty)
- SW cache bump to v10
Files:
- static/js/notifications.js (new module)
- static/index.html: bell markup + remove old toast
- static/css/style.css: bell + panel styles + dark mode
- static/js/fileOperations.js: redirect upload progress to notification bell
- static/js/app.js: close bell when user menu opens
- static/locales/{en,es}.json: i18n keys
- static/sw.js: cache v10 + notifications.js asset
Dark mode:
- Toggle now applies data-theme='dark' attribute to <html>
- Theme applied immediately on page load to prevent FOUC
- Comprehensive dark mode CSS covering all UI components:
sidebar, top bar, search, file cards, list view, context
menus, modals, dialogs, notifications, user menu, etc.
Search:
- Add Authorization headers to all search API fetch calls
(searchFiles, advancedSearch, clearSearchCache)
- Fix missing checkbox column in search results list header
Use fixed column widths for Type (100px), Size (110px), and
Modified (160px) instead of flexible 1fr units that caused
values to overlap when content was wider than available space.
- Add checkboxes to list view items (grid view already had them)
- Add 'select all' checkbox in list view header
- Add batch action bar with Delete, Move, and Download buttons
- Batch delete: moves all selected items to trash in one operation
- Batch move: reuses existing move dialog in batch mode
- Batch download: downloads each selected item
- Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+A (select all), Escape (deselect), Delete key
- Shift+click for range selection in both grid and list views
- Selection state synced between grid and list views
- New multiSelect.js module manages selection state and batch operations
Non-admin users were seeing all users' root folders, including the
admin's. Three root causes fixed:
1. Backend: list_root_folders now extracts AuthUser and filters
results so each user only sees their own home folder at the
root level (folders matching 'My Folder - {username}' or
'Mi Carpeta - {username}').
2. Frontend: findUserHomeFolder() searched only for the Spanish
pattern 'Mi Carpeta - {username}' but the backend creates
folders with the English pattern 'My Folder - {username}'.
Now checks both naming conventions.
3. Frontend: when the home folder was not found, the code fell
back to folderList[0] — which was usually the admin's folder.
Removed that dangerous fallback; now shows empty root instead.
Fixes#94
Wrap the logo-container div in an <a href='/'> so clicking the
OxiCloud logo navigates back to the root/home view, matching the
widely accepted web convention.
Fixes#97
Replaced the hidden dropzone-only progress bar with a floating
upload toast that appears at the bottom-right corner whenever
files are being uploaded (button or drag-and-drop).
Features:
- Per-file progress bar with real byte-level tracking via XHR
- Spinning icon while uploading, green check on success, red on error
- Overall progress bar and file counter in the footer
- Auto-hides 4 seconds after all uploads complete
- Dismiss button to minimise the toast
- Works for both file and folder uploads
- i18n keys added to all 8 locale files
- Service worker cache bumped to v3
checkAuthentication() used await for the OIDC exchange fetch but was
declared as a regular function, not async. This caused a JavaScript
syntax error that prevented the entire app.js file from parsing,
resulting in a completely non-interactive frontend after OIDC login.
Also bumped service worker cache version to v2 so browsers
discard stale cached JS files on the next load.
