v3.6.4 — Protocol Registration Fix & File Deletion Improvements

on GitHub

What's Changed

This release fixes a critical bug where URL protocol associations (magnet, thunder) could not be re-registered after being taken over by another application, and introduces safer file deletion using the OS trash.

✨ New Features

• OS Trash for file deletion — Deleted task files are now moved to the system trash (Recycle Bin / macOS Trash) instead of being permanently removed, allowing easy recovery
• Skip-confirm file deletion option — New preference to automatically delete associated files when skipping the task deletion confirmation dialog
• Engine port conflict hint — EngineOverlay now displays troubleshooting guidance when the aria2 RPC port is occupied by another process

🛠 Improvements

• Folder-based BT cleanup prevents accidental directory trashing when removing torrent tasks
• Increased engine connection retry count from 1 to 3 for more resilient startup recovery
• Standardized message toast durations across the application
• Added reveal animation to the primary download button

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed protocol registration not firing on save — When config already said "enabled" but the OS association was lost (e.g. another app took over magnet:), saving in Settings silently skipped the registration call. The save logic now queries the OS actual state and registers if needed
• Fixed engine startup flakiness — waitForEngine default retries increased to prevent premature connection timeout on slower systems
