Restructure the app from a single NavigationView into an AdwViewStack
with 3 top-level pages: Installed, Catalog, and Updates. Each page
keeps its own header bar while an AdwViewSwitcherBar at the bottom
provides tab-style navigation between them. The Installed page retains
its own NavigationView for detail drill-down. The catalog action now
switches the ViewStack tab instead of pushing a page.
The AppImageHub feed.json contains null values where arrays/strings are
expected (296 items with null links, 6 items with null inside categories
arrays). Changed AppImageHubItem deserialization to use Option types and
flatten nulls. Also fixed refresh handler to dynamically look up the
catalog source from DB instead of hardcoding id.
Shows what access the AppImage will have on first launch. Lists file,
network, and display server access. Mentions firejail if available.
Tracks prompted status in DB so the dialog only appears once per app.
Parse StartupWMClass from embedded .desktop entries during analysis,
store in DB, include in generated .desktop files. Detail view shows
an editable WM class field with apply button for manual override.
Generated .desktop files now include MimeType and StartupWMClass when
available. Detail view system tab shows MIME types with per-type
"Set Default" buttons that use xdg-mime and track previous defaults
in system_modifications for reversal.
Dashboard shows a banner when FUSE is not functional. The wizard
detects the distro, shows the install command, and runs it via pkexec.
Verifies FUSE status after installation completes.
Fast icon extraction pulls .DirIcon from the squashfs without full
analysis. Single-file drops show a 64px preview in the dialog while
the user chooses an import option.
Storage tab now has an Uninstall button that shows checkboxes for the
AppImage file, desktop integration, and each discovered data path.
Removes selected items and cleans up the database on confirm.
New batch_update_dialog shows all updatable AppImages with per-app
status badges and overall progress bar. Wired as win.update-all action
from dashboard when updates are available.
Schedule automatic update checks on startup based on elapsed time
since last check. Add interval SpinRow to preferences and show
'Last checked' timestamp on the dashboard updates section.
Comprehensive design doc covering discovery-to-uninstall lifecycle:
- System modification tracking for clean reversible uninstalls
- Sorted by complexity from quick wins to major features
- Covers FUSE wizard, autostart, MIME types, catalog browser,
portable mode, batch operations, and more

AlertDialog has an internal width cap that ignores content_width. Use
adw::Dialog instead with a ToolbarView layout for full control over the
900x550 dimensions.
Widen dialog to 700px, increase height to 500px, use wide layout, and
expand the error output scroll area (250-500px) so more of the stderr
text is visible without scrolling.
Detect AppImages that crash immediately after spawning (within 1.5s) by
capturing stderr and using try_wait(). Show a full AlertDialog with a
plain-text explanation, scrollable error output, and a copy-to-clipboard
button. Covers Qt plugin errors, missing libraries, segfaults, permission
issues, and display connection failures.
Move launch operations to background threads in both the detail view and
context menu to avoid blocking the UI during the 1.5s crash detection
window.
Suppress all 57 compiler warnings across future-use modules (backup,
notification, report, watcher) and individual unused fields/variants in
other core modules.
- Replace technical jargon with plain language across all 4 detail tabs
- Friendly titles/subtitles with technical details available in tooltips
- Soften terminal commands ("Install with one command" instead of raw commands)
- Rename sections: Desktop Integration -> App Menu, Sandboxing -> App Isolation,
Vulnerability Scanning -> Security Check, Capabilities -> Features
- Rewrite Wayland/FUSE explanations to avoid acronyms and dev terminology
- Update security report page with beginner-friendly descriptions
- Enable libadwaita 1.7 ViewStack crossfade transitions between detail tabs
- Rewrite screenshot lightbox as separate gtk::Window (fixes scroll jump on
close, adds click-outside-to-close, rounded corners via CSS)
- Add prev/next navigation arrows and keyboard support to lightbox
- fuse.rs: Replace Command::new(appimage_path) with 256KB binary scan for
runtime detection - prevents apps like Affinity from launching on tile click
- fuse.rs: Read only 12 bytes for Type 2 magic check instead of entire file
- security.rs: Use find_squashfs_offset_for() instead of executing AppImages
with --appimage-offset flag
- updater.rs: Read only first 1MB for update info instead of entire file
- detail_view.rs: Click screenshots to open in lightbox dialog
- detail_view.rs: Fetch favicons from Google favicon service for link rows
- Make detail view banner scroll with content instead of staying fixed,
preventing tall banners from eating screen space
- Optimize squashfs offset scanning with buffered 256KB chunk reading
instead of loading entire file into memory (critical for 1.5GB+ files)
- Add screenshot URL parsing from AppStream XML and async image display
with carousel in the overview tab
- Fix infinite re-analysis bug: has_appstream check caused every app
without AppStream data to be re-analyzed on every startup. Now handled
via one-time migration reset in v10
- Database migration v10: add screenshot_urls column, reset analysis
status for one-time re-scan with new parser
- Fix upsert_appimage returning 0 for existing records by falling
back to a SELECT query when last_insert_rowid is 0
- Replace --appimage-offset execution with binary squashfs magic scan
to avoid hanging on AppImages with custom AppRun scripts
- Add 5-second timeout fallback if binary scan fails
- Extract desktop files from usr/share/applications/ for reverse-DNS
named entries that root-level *.desktop glob misses
- Add root-level png/svg fallback in icon search
- Add CSS for drop overlay scrim, drop zone card, and drop zone icon

- Security report page with scan and export
- Packaging: meson build, PKGBUILD, metainfo
Remove overflow property from .icon-rounded (not valid in GTK CSS).
Remove prefers-reduced-motion media query (not supported by GTK CSS
engine - reduced motion is handled by gtk-enable-animations setting).
Unparent PopoverMenu on widget destroy to prevent finalization warnings
when library view refreshes.
