February 2026 monthly summary for owncloud.client focusing on Folder Management UI Enhancements and account folders error items. Delivered UI and reliability improvements that directly impact user productivity and reliability of sync operations. The work highlights two main areas: (1) Folder Management UI Enhancements with a new folder item delegate, improved display, status icons, sorting, refined selection, and integrated sync progress totals; coupled with integration of a folder item updater to reflect state changes in real time; (2) Error handling in account folders view, introducing error items, a Folder::isConnected state, and refined menu actions tied to connection state, with progress updates throttled for clarity. These changes collectively improve visibility into long-running syncs, reduce user confusion during failures, and enable faster issue diagnosis. The work demonstrates strong capability in Qt-based UI development, custom delegates, state management, accessibility improvements, and maintainable code structure.
