PortkeyDrop Downloads

Fixed

• Cancelling a transfer now also stops jobs waiting for a busy connection and interrupts folder scans and upload directory creation between operations.
• Transfer progress no longer floods the window with duplicate updates. Disconnecting an idle session also runs off the window thread, keeping keyboard commands and closing responsive when a server is slow.
• Idle transfer workers no longer keep the queue and its callbacks alive after their service is released.
• FTPS transfers and listings no longer stall on servers that wait for the transfer command before starting data TLS. Failed data TLS closes the unusable session so queued work cannot consume stale replies.
• Queueing multiple files or folders no longer freezes the window while another transfer is scanning or copying. This also applies to mixed selections and uploads.

Added

• A "Waiting to connect" cue now loops while an SFTP connection is held up waiting for your SSH agent to approve the key. Agents such as Bitwarden show that approval in a box that can open behind the Portkey Drop window with nothing to say it is there; the sound fills that gap and stops the moment the connection succeeds or fails. Give it a sound by adding a connect_waiting entry to a sound pack, and mute it in Settings like any other cue.

Fixed

• A fresh install made no sound at all. The default sound pack was written with an empty list and none of its audio, so only people upgrading from the Python version, whose old pack was carried across, heard any cues. The twenty default sounds now ship inside the program and are written out on first start, including the new "Waiting to connect" cue, which is also added to an existing default pack without touching any sound you have replaced.
• Sound cues played in mono, most audibly the connect sound. The opening fraction of a second of every cue was folded to a single channel and slightly stretched before playback settled into stereo, and the short cues carry their stereo image right at the start. Cues now play in full stereo from the first sample.

Fixed

• Backspace, Alt+Left, and Alt+Up in a file pane now go to the parent directory. Those keys were bound to a list event that never reported which key was pressed, so they did nothing in either pane. Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+[ do the same (Command+Up and Command+[ on a Mac, matching Finder).
• The exit sound was cut off as the program closed. Closing now waits for it to finish.
• Uploading a file always asked whether to replace it, even when nothing of that name was on the server. The prompt now appears only when the remote folder already has that name, matching downloads.

Fixed

• Installing an update no longer asks you to close Portkey Drop first, and no longer leaves the app sitting there with nothing happening. Setup checks whether the app is running, and it was being started while the app was still on screen. Portkey Drop now closes itself and Setup opens on its own first page, the way the portable and macOS updates already worked. Quitting for an update is also final now: the download's progress window could keep the program alive after its window had closed, which left the update waiting for a program that never went away.
• Leaving Portkey Drop while a transfer was running froze the window instead of closing it. Quitting closed the connection, and that waited for the transfer to let go of it -- on the window's own thread, so nothing repainted until the transfer finished. The connection is now closed out of the way of the window.
• Downloading a folder no longer freezes the window for the length of the transfer. The connection check behind the status bar and tray tooltip waited for the connection to be free, and a transfer holds it for as long as its work takes -- the whole listing of a folder, then each file in turn -- so the window stopped repainting and Windows offered to close it. The check no longer waits: a connection busy with a transfer is reported as connected.

Fixed

• Downloading a folder no longer hangs until the app runs out of memory when the server lists that folder (or its parent) as one of its own children, or when a directory symlink points back at a folder already being copied. Large folders are listed once and then copied; a loop in the listing is skipped rather than followed forever.
