February 2026 performance for Infomaniak/desktop-kDrive focused on reliability, UX improvements, and scalable architecture. Key work included debounced saving for user exclusion templates and a set of exclusion pipeline refactors (removing the deleted field; clarified input comments; IoHelper adoption) to reduce errors and improve maintainability. Major bugs fixed spanned missing default key handling, noisy logs for empty template names, syntax issues in the exclusion_template table, and accessibility enhancements on the exclusion page, contributing to a more stable production experience. Server-UI robustness was strengthened with boolean results for critical server communications and improved async handling and logging, including method name casing corrections. Sync enhancements added progress tracking for file sync, unified sync mode change logic, better drive validation and error handling, and a safety cap on SyncActivities to improve memory usage. Overall these changes reduce error rates, lower support toil, improve startup reliability, and provide clearer visibility into ongoing operations.
