Flea 0.4.0

• Flea's window is drawn by a new GPU renderer built on GPUI, with every view, card, menu, preview and dialog of 0.3.12 carried over. Machines without a working Vulkan driver fall back to software Vulkan and then OpenGL, and when no renderer can open a window Flea says so and points to flea --tui.
• Flea follows the system language and includes the 50 languages Omarchy offers, with missing strings falling back to English (#43, @eachann1024).
• On non-Latin keyboard layouts, digits and letter keys reach their bindings by their position on a US keyboard, while Latin layouts keep the printed key and typed text is unchanged.
• Theme, font and Window Transparency changes reach an open window at once, and window and card corners follow Hyprland's rounding.
• Ctrl+G searches the contents of files in the open folder (#252, @passport0819).
• Name search tolerates typos without listing a near match beside a real hit.
• Folders expand in place in List view (#113, @muellan).
• A tab can be dragged into its own window or onto another window, and files drag between panes and windows.
• A tab change closes the filter, search and Quick Look, and the tab strip exposes its controls to accessibility tools.
• With Start in set to Last folder, Flea restores tab folders and their order (#353, @dyedfox).
• X carries selected files to another application without moving the pointer (#57, @jesedv).
• Open agent here starts Omarchy's agent in the folder being shown (#61, @jesedv).
• Dragging the window's top bar moves the window, and a user@host:/path location opens as a network share (#32, @nixfred).
• Text in Markdown, Source and code previews can be selected and copied (#332, @axelfontaine; #358, @avillagran).
• Clicks used to select text in a JSON preview no longer pass through to the listing (#331, @axelfontaine).
• Image previews replace the cached thumbnail with an original decoded for the preview frame (#371, @letsfkccp).
• Quick Look images use the display scale when they are decoded (#336, @gjouret).
• PDF previews reopen without the image-reader crash reported on 0.3.12 (#347, @FortyTwoFifty).
• Moving to another video in Quick Look starts a fresh player that plays at once (#364, @jessekalil; #365, @aholbreich).
• 3D models and toolpaths, including STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, STEP and G-code, preview in the preview column and Quick Look.
• Markdown tables size their columns to their contents.
• Properties on several items shows their combined size, kinds and counts (#316, @muellan).
• The filter matches every name in a large folder, and clearing a deep filter restores the listing (#315, @muellan; #318, @itsmunzir; #362, @hegjon).
• List rows update their hover after a re-read, and each pane keeps its own row details.
• Folder sizes and size sorting no longer walk into a network or rclone mount (#368, @group6digital).
• Properties waits for a folder's full size and says unknown when none could be read (#172, @nerdislb).
• Emptying a large Trash starts as a cancellable job while the window stays responsive (#321, @muellan).
• Delete on a location without Trash offers permanent deletion (#325, @tko76).
• Copy and move jobs queue while another transfer is running (#363, @jakovius).
• Send with rclone uploads a file or folder as a checked job with progress and cancellation (#176, @nerdislb).
• The extract card shows progress while 7z unpacks (#264, @MISTERNEGATIVE21).
• Extracting onto an rclone mount falls back to a checked copy when no-replace rename is unsupported (#370, @vitonique).
• Navigation stays responsive after a rename (#265, @mubshrx).
• Enter and Open open every selected file with its default application (#288, @murilocb; #350, @OldJobobo).
• Opening a program on a noexec volume or without its run bit says why it could not run (#330, @jesusalcaladev).
• Open in terminal uses the selected row's folder and opens Ghostty in a fresh instance (#373, @chrispository).
• F and B page text, Markdown, PDF and office documents in Quick Lo

Flea 0.3.12

• Stock Transparent draws Flea the way Omarchy draws its own file browser, instead of stacking a second transparency on it (#323, @joebaus).
• A Window Transparency switch changes an open Flea window without a restart (#323, @joebaus).

Thanks to @joebaus.

Flea 0.3.11

• Markdown and HTML open rendered in Quick Look and the preview column, and r switches Quick Look to Source and back (#204, @fsrodrig).
• HTML pages preview as still pictures, with scripts and remote content blocked.
• CSV and TSV files preview as tables in Quick Look and the preview column, and long files page in as you scroll (requested on X).
• Camera RAW files preview from their embedded JPEG, and the facts line and Properties show the camera, lens, exposure and capture time.
• Tall previews fill the column above one facts line, and i switches to the full facts table (#208, @iccodes).
• Quick Look uses the available height for text, code and PDFs, and keeps portrait images in proportion.
• PDFs scroll as a continuous stack of pages in the preview column.
• Code previews use theme colours, including Markdown source and fenced code in List and Columns views (#204, @fsrodrig).
• Language icons are on by default in List, Grid, Columns and Quick Look, and the menu can turn them off.
• JSON previews format their contents for reading.
• GIF previews animate while visible.
• AppImages show their own icons.
• Quick Look shows font samples and facts.
• Compare two files in Quick Look, and press y to copy their unified patch.
• F and B page text and Markdown previews without moving the file cursor.
• Drag the preview column edge to resize it, and Flea remembers the width.
• Media keys control a playing preview, and video playback keeps the screen awake.
• Downloads, Pictures and Videos open newest first until you choose a sort there.
• A save dialog starts with the file name focused, so Enter saves into the folder shown (#191, @dyedfox).
• Columns view keeps matching neighbouring columns drawn during navigation and replaces their rows when the new listing arrives.
• Drag a file onto Trash in the sidebar to trash it, and Undo restores it (#235, @t1nk333r).
• A mounted ISO image appears in the sidebar with an eject mark, and ejecting it detaches its loop device (#196, @MISTERNEGATIVE21; #234, @martythedev-tech).
• Visible thumbnail requests wait their turn when every thumbnail worker is busy (#268, @mrphonk).
• Grid tiles scrolled into view after the window shrinks draw and take clicks again (#294, @dyedfox).
• Program files, including PIE executables, show the program icon and offer Run on a double-click (#301, @Heus-Sueh).
• Trash failures say what happened and what was left in place, with technical detail kept in the log.
• Compare becomes available when the selected file types finish loading.
• Cancel stops waiting for a blocked FUSE source read and removes the partial copy (#144, @mfilm77; #247, @itsmunzir).
• Powering off a removable drive checks every mounted sibling volume, including hidden rows (#232, @MiguelDebruyne).
• The file picker starts with the saved hidden-file setting and honours a per-request override (#313, @choirib).
• Glassy mode gives file lists their own background opacity while keeping glass on the sidebar and window chrome.
• Files can be dropped onto favourites and mounted drives in the sidebar, with Undo for moves and copies.
• Settings keep the newest saved choice when an older refresh finishes later.

Known issues

• Local-list startup uses 0.82-0.91 seconds of CPU, compared with 0.77-0.80 seconds in 0.3.10.
• Long sessions can retain render resources (#151, @marvreichmann).
• Some office documents fail to preview inside the sandbox.
• First previews from network shares, large-copy progress and Dual scrolling still have latency work pending.
• Physical-phone copying and the original HFS+ remount reports still need hardware verification (#144, @mfilm77; #247, @itsmunzir; #232, @MiguelDebruyne).

Flea 0.3.10

• Tags in Omarchy's colours, shared with Dolphin. T tags the selection, 1 to 7 pick a colour, the menus gain a Tags row and flyout, a TAGS section can show in the sidebar (off by default), and search finds files by tag, such as the red tag.
• Pasting a folder onto one with the same name can merge the two, and undo puts both back as they were.
• Hovering a drag over a folder can open it (off by default), lists scroll while you drag near their edges, names that a stick's exFAT cannot hold are fixed before the copy, and an image on the clipboard pastes as a file.
• A run card shows what a script, program or AppImage will run and asks before starting it (#174, @dedeanth; #71, @nate8199).
• Bulk rename edits every selected name at once in your terminal editor, with swaps, bad lines and undo handled (#183, @muellan).
• Archives take a password for 7z, refuse to extract onto a drive without room, and open ISO images and package files.
• Encrypted drives unlock and relock in Flea, and flea --unlock does it from a terminal.
• A new image flasher writes an ISO or disk image to a USB stick and verifies every byte.
• An unlocked encrypted volume appears in the sidebar with its eject mark (#200, @akitaonrails).
• Back and forward return the cursor to the row it was on (#235, @t1nk333r).
• Listing a phone or network share no longer holds up the rest of Flea (#144, @mfilm77; #247, @itsmunzir).
• A WebDAV share's breadcrumb shows the name you saved it under (#237, @bthome; #246, @aholbreich).
• A refused WebDAV sign-in says the server did not accept the password, and a failure is no longer guessed as a TLS handshake failure from the address (#238, @bthome; #241, @GreyforgeLabs).
• Unmount is offered on every mounted volume, so a mounted NTFS drive can be unmounted from the sidebar (#232, @MiguelDebruyne).
• NFS and SMB shares that the system mounts appear under NETWORK in the sidebar, beside the shares Flea mounts (#257, @citizen-why).
• The file picker takes a typed path (#191, @dyedfox; #206, @akitaonrails; #256, @karacas).
• A drop on the Shelf's edge rail lands even after the rail has opened the card (#255, @liri2006).
• Flea skips Vulkan drivers for graphics cards the machine does not have (#248, @t1nk333r).
• Properties shows a folder's size and item count (#172, @nerdislb).
• A thumbnailer installed outside /usr, such as one under ~/.local, now runs inside Flea's thumbnail sandbox (#171, @matirossi93).
• Quick Look on an image that cannot decode and has no thumbnail yet waits for the row thumbnail and draws it, instead of showing "This image could not be read." (#263, @kevinbsr).
• Quick Look works when Flea was started with a relative path (#290, @fishandsheep).
• A copy or move onto a FAT or exFAT drive goes on past links, special files and names it cannot hold, and names what it skipped (#271, @jotapesse).
• Moving a folder onto an rclone mount that refuses no-replace renames no longer fails, and the move copies across with progress, cancel and the journal (#282, @protoavatar).
• Replacing a file on phone storage, where there is no Trash, works and Undo restores the old file (#261, @kosmicus).
• Copy, move or link follows the keys held at the drop, not at the start of the drag (#259, @muellan).
• The "/" filter narrows the rows in Columns view too (#260, @demostenex).
• A Shift range made after a scroll starts at the lone selected row, not at the cursor (#286, @dyedfox).
• Ctrl+V and Shift+Insert paste the first line of the clipboard into the filter and search lines (#287, @dyedfox).
• A bare digit switches to that tab (#284, @joebaus).
• With hidden files sorted last, a click on a file picker column header keeps them last, as every view does (#291, @KelpyShades).
• Grid view's selection band starts from the margin between tiles (#292, @KelpyShades).
• Flea can remember the view mode of each folder (#293, @carldx).
• The file picker remembers its sort (#281, @pedrosatin).
• The window can fade its background alone, le
