ZimaOS v1.6.2 is Officially Released: Safer, More Stable, More Compatible

[gelbuilding]

Thanks, that confirms the pattern much better.

Both drives being internal SATA and both ext4 makes this look less like a filesystem compatibility issue and more like a Files app move-operation regression in ZimaOS 1.6.2.

So the confirmed pattern is:

• source: sda1
• destination: sda4
• both ext4
• both internal SATA
• move done through ZimaOS Files app
• files move successfully
• source folder remains behind empty
• small test folder behaves the same
• copy is not affected
• started after ZimaOS 1.6.2

I will keep this on the ZimaBrain/ZimaOS 1.6.2 regression watch list as:

Files app move operation leaves empty source folders behind after moving folders between internal ext4 drives.

One extra useful test, only if you have time: please try moving one single test folder, not multiple folders at once, and confirm whether the same empty source folder remains. That will help narrow whether it is a general folder move issue or mainly a multi-folder move issue.

I was able to reproduce the issue consistently.

It seems the problem only occurs when the folder being moved contains one or more subfolders.

For example:

test-folder/
├── file1.txt
└── subfolder/
    └── file2.txt

After moving the folder, all files and subfolders are moved successfully to the destination, but the original top-level source folder is left behind as an empty folder.

If the folder contains only files and no subfolders, I cannot reproduce the issue.

This may help narrow down the cause.

There is a bit of an annoying happening. When you visit a page or a tab of the browser after a sleep or restart of the active PC , you see that there are no tiles from the applications in the Web UI. They fell away. And when you activate a tab in the browser, then it won’t update those tiles to be visible again. This has never happened before. There’s something terribly wrong with the events.

Overall, I would like to make one suggestion.

Before adding more new features, I think it would be better to focus on fixing the existing issues in the Files app.

For me, the two most important ones are:

• The issue where moving folders leaves empty source folders behind.

• The Dark Mode issue where the text cursor (caret) is almost invisible when creating or renaming files and folders.

These two issues affect everyday usability much more than new features.

I also tested ZimaOS 1.7.0 Beta 1, but I rolled back to the previous version because I couldn’t use it properly. None of my apps would open normally, so I wasn’t able to test the new App Store or the other new features.

Once the core functionality is stable again, I’ll be happy to continue testing future beta releases and provide feedback.

I am having trouble mounting external drives, such as Google Drive or OneDrive. I cannot connect, create, or delete a connection for any account in the external storage.

@isanto1306 What does it mean that the application can’t be opened? Isn’t the list of applications displayed? Let me investigate this problem:

• Do you log in with the main account or the sub-user?
• Do you use LAN access or remote access similar to Tailscale?

If the application list cannot be displayed, you can refer to No apps in th frontend - #4 by Bin to help me take a screenshot to troubleshoot and locate the problem.

Hi @Bin, I think you may have mixed up my issue with another one. I don’t have any problems with Google Drive or OneDrive. External Storage works correctly for me.

[Bin]

ok, You are talking about storage-related issues, right? Then I know.

Hi, please try performing a hard refresh in your browser. This issue may be caused by the frontend cache:

Windows: Ctrl + Shift + R (or Ctrl + F5)
macOS: Cmd + Shift + R

After refreshing, please try connecting to Google Drive or OneDrive again.

Thanks for highlighting these two issues.

For the folder-moving issue, could you please confirm a few details?

• Did you select Overwrite or Keep Both?

• Were there any files or folders with the same name in the destination?

• Did you use Cut and Paste, or the Move feature?

For the Dark Mode cursor issue, it will be fixed in the official ZimaOS 1.7.0 release.

[isanto1306]

Thanks for looking into it.

Here are the details:

• I used Cut and Paste.

• I selected Overwrite when prompted.

• Yes, there were folders with the same name in the destination.

After the move completed, all files were moved correctly, but the original source folders remained as empty folders.

One question: do you think the folder move issue will also be fixed before the official ZimaOS 1.7.0 release?

For me, this is currently one of the most important issues because it affects everyday file management.

Since the Dark Mode cursor issue is already planned to be fixed, I hope the folder move regression can also be resolved before the stable 1.7.0 release.

It really worked. Thank you very much.
