test, tools, release folder and devDependencies in package.json will be ignored by default.

Default Ignore modules

We add some module's peerDependencies to ignore option as default for application size reduction.

• babel-core is required by babel-loader and its size is ~19 MB
• node-libs-browser is required by webpack and its size is ~3MB.

Note: If you want to use any above modules in runtime, for example: require('babel/register'), you should move them from devDependencies to dependencies.

legacy-desktop's Issues

Add log view

Provide a way to view the local logs within the App.
Also provide a button to open the local config & logs folder (~/.config/syncrypt/).

Add feedback sidebar

Add a sidebar that allows users to send feedback to us via a text field.
Add optional feature to send along log files for debugging purposes on our end.
We'll want to provide some kind of way to anonymize our logs before sending them to us, stripping out file names from the local debug logs.

GUI should try to start "syncrypt_daemon" on launch

Mouse cursor should be "pointer" when over vault card

... but only until vault card is selected.

Show correct last updated at date for each vault

Use vault's current revision creation time.

Under Ubuntu/Gnome, Syncrypt has no icon in the app switcher

When daemon is started some time after the GUI, the login form is shown even when logged in

Give feedback to the user when vault list is (re-)loading

Otherwise the user can get confused with the unexpected UI updates

Clicking on the logo or on the background should deselect current vault

When collapsing sidebar, main screen does not expand anymore

@lordi I'm not sure how the recent changes work so I'll leave this to you.
There's an expanded css class that needs to be added to the main screen div whenever the sidebar is collapsed.

Provide a way for the user to backup vault keys

We also need to educate the user that their data is only save once the backup the keys in a save place.

Adding a new vault temporarily erases all other vaults

Login_Button

Button turns blue and has a blue color on click.
Also has a blue shadow after click

Add Vault name dialog when creating new vault

Instead of having the user create a new vault folder manually in their file browser, let them choose a path to put their vault in, then ask them for the vault name to use, and create the vault folder with that name in the given path selected by the prior folder selection dialog.
