[tobiasKaminsky]

RC2 released :shipit

[tobiasKaminsky]

Tomorrow I'll do a RC3 with new library 1.3.1 and on Monday we can release final version.
D'accord @AndyScherzinger? :-D

[AndyScherzinger]

The translations should then nevertheless be released with RC3 too. Just to see if somebody reports a problem with a translation. I am aware that this might enforce yet another translations cherry pick PR.

[tobiasKaminsky]

Good point.

[tobiasKaminsky]

3.5.0 final is releasead!

[MikeZuluUSA]

Could not find any of these mentioned functions/features:

• Option to not show notifications for new media folders
• Add support for QR codes & deep links
• Direct camera upload

• Sync all downloaded

  Any help?
  S9 - up tp date version
  nextcloud app - 3.5.0

[realrufans]

@MikeZuluUSA Same here .

3.5.0 says 99% complete.
@tobiasKaminsky says final release.

🤔

Edit: I did a fresh install. Didn't see any changes .

[tobiasKaminsky]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextcloud.client
it is online, maybe it takes some time. All my devices are already updated.

You can verify if you go in the app -> settings and on botton you can see the version.

@realrufans 99% complete is because this issue is still open ;-)

[realrufans]

Yes . The version is updated but not the functions.

[danielb42]

Exactly. Since yesterday (evening)'s update version string is 3.5.0, just without any of the proposed functions.

[tobiasKaminsky]

Could not find any of these mentioned functions/features:

• Option to not show notifications for new media folders

This is shown as action in notification: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pull/3448#issue-244247578

• Add support for QR codes & deep links

This is shown on creating a new account:

• Direct camera upload

Shown on "+":

• Sync all downloaded

This is done in background, so you will only notice it, if you download a file, e.g. text file, change it on server and wait a bit (job is running every 15min on wifi only).

[AndyScherzinger]

So if you hit the plus button in at the bottom in the main screen you don't see a menu item "Upload from camera" in the list? If you add a new account you don't see a qr code symbol on the screen where you put in the server address? If a new media folder notification comes up it doesn't have an action to deactivate them?

[danielb42]

@AndyScherzinger nevermind, Camera Upload and QR stuff is there. Nothing new on New Folder notification however, no new settings in NC or Android settings. Where exactly should I look out for that?

[AndyScherzinger]

@danielb42 it is an action of the notification itself to hide these notifications. So you need to wait for the next new folder notification. After disabling it via the notification you can then re-enable it on the settings screen. The setting in there is only visible _after_ hiding these notifications.

[danielb42]

@AndyScherzinger alright! Seems like that workflow was just way too obscure for me. All good, thanks for the release!

[AndyScherzinger]

Yeah, we have hidden it a bit since we consider hiding these notifications an edge case so we didn't want to give it a too prominent place in the app. :)
