DeskBox 1.5.5

DeskBox 1.5.5 is a feature-packed reliability update: cloud backup to your own WebDAV server with scoped, tombstone-safe restore; drag-and-drop that Copy-only targets finally accept; cross-volume transfers through the Windows file-operation engine; self-healing hotkeys; idle memory trimming; and a Fluent snap-feedback refresh.

Released on September 22, 2026.

Highlights

• Cloud backup to your own server. Settings → Maintenance gains a WebDAV cloud-backup page: per-domain toggles (todo, quick capture, widget style), configurable interval and retention, credentials stored in Windows Credential Manager, a "Test connection" that validates what you just typed, on-demand backups, and a browsable remote snapshot list.
• Scoped, tombstone-safe restore. Pick which data domains come back and choose merge (newer entries win, nothing on this device is deleted) or a full snapshot-faithful restore. Deletions leave tombstones, so a merged restore can never resurrect an item you removed locally; restores stage, validate, and apply on the next launch with a pre-restore safety archive pinned.
• Drag-and-drop that works everywhere. File drags out of widgets carry the same native Shell data object Explorer uses, so Copy-only drop targets that used to reject DeskBox — VS Code, browsers and other Chromium/Electron apps, WM_DROPFILES-era programs, WinForms — now accept them. Same-volume drops default to move, cross-volume to copy, Ctrl/Shift/Alt behave as expected on Windows 11, and Windows 10 keeps single-move without prompting.
• Cross-volume transfers through the system engine. Cross-volume moves and copies now use IFileOperation with native progress, cancellation, and conflict handling — fixing the Native AOT cross-volume import that completed with "0 items". Aborted transfers clean up only the objects they created.
• Hotkeys that heal themselves. Windows can silently strip the low-level hooks behind the global hotkey, search hotkey, or desktop double-click activation, leaving them dead until restart. A two-stage health watchdog now detects and re-registers them automatically.
• Idle memory trimming. Widgets return memory to Windows after a few seconds of true quiet — no longer only when everything is hidden — guarded by working-set floors and ambient-animation awareness. Controlled by the new "Trim memory when idle" performance option.
• Fluent-grade snap feedback and capsule control. The looping breathing glow is replaced by a crisp accent edge band that settles once and dissolves around rounded corners. Compact widgets gain a per-widget expansion-direction override, capsule bars reorder by dragging across monitors, and new groups default to tab navigation.
• Sharper shortcut icons, honest fixes. Alt-dragged shortcuts keep the target's own icon; arrow overlays render through a high-resolution compositing channel instead of pre-scaled bitmaps. The settings window no longer freezes on the theme it had when closed, the cloud-backup page no longer crashes on Native AOT builds, leftover folders no longer block same-named widgets, and migration rollback failures explain themselves.

See CHANGELOG.md for the complete list, including upgrade reliability (a dedicated device-local layout store, paired layout+settings commits, journaled style restore).

Downloads and verification

GitHub Releases installers

The direct installers are Full Native AOT builds with the bundled private Windows App Runtime. Installers are currently unsigned; verify the SHA-256 checksums after downloading.

Microsoft Store upload

This combined .msixupload is the only file from this section intended for Partner Center. It contains DeskBox_1.5.5.0_x64_arm64.msixbundle plus the matching x64 and ARM64 .appxsym files. The internal bundle is version 1.5.5.0 and has SHA-256 41C9C06DADB0775AC9EE0E73B43F7D83EB7C65205519273A5BF06828DDAA24D8.

The two single-architecture .msixupload files produced during per-architecture auditing are intermediate evidence only and must not be submitted as the final DeskBox Store release.

Both direct installers and the combined Store upload were produced from the source tree of commit e6f9a2aef8b4d8368a3d766b1d8187c04a38cc68.

Validation

• x64 full test suite: 4059/4059 passed (2026-09-22, final working tree = the 1.5.5 code batch plus documentation completion).
• x64 and ARM64 Native AOT retail publish and Full installer packaging verified locally for both architectures on 2026-09-22.
• The combined Store bundle was unpacked again; both payload hashes matched the audited inputs, and both payload package audits passed.

中文说明

DeskBox 1.5.5 是一次功能与可靠性并重的更新：云备份到自己的 WebDAV 服务器（支持按域、墓碑安全还原）、Copy-only 目标终于能接受的文件拖放、走 Windows 文件操作引擎的跨盘传输、会自愈的热键、空闲内存修剪，以及 Fluent 风格的吸附反馈刷新。

2026 年 9 月 22 日发布。

主要更新

• 云备份上线。 设置 → 维护新增 WebDAV 云备份页：待办/快采/格子样式按域开关、自定义频率与保留份数、密码存 Windows 凭据管理器、"测试连接"直接校验刚输入的凭据、支持立即备份与远端快照浏览。
• 按域还原、删除不复活。 可选回哪些数据域，"合并"（新者胜、不删本机数据）或"完全恢复"；删除会留墓碑，合并还原不会复活本机已删条目；还原先暂存校验、下次启动应用，且先固定还原前安全归档。
• 拖放到处都好用。 从格子拖出的文件携带与 Explorer 同源的原生 Shell 数据对象——VS Code、浏览器等此前拒绝 DeskBox 拖放的目标现在都能接受。同盘默认移动、跨盘默认复制，Win11 修饰键符合预期，Win10 保持单一移动不弹框。
• 跨盘传输走系统引擎。 跨盘移动/复制改用 IFileOperation，获得原生进度、取消与冲突处理——修复 Native AOT 版跨盘导入"0 items"的问题；中止的传输只清理自己创建的对象。
• 热键自愈。 Windows 静默摘除低级钩子导致的热键/搜索热键/桌面双击激活失灵，现在由两段式健康 watchdog 自动检测并恢复。
• 空闲内存修剪。 格子真正静默几秒即向 Windows 归还内存，不再要求全部隐藏；由新的"空闲时修剪内存"选项控制。
• Fluent 吸附反馈与胶囊控制。 循环呼吸辉光改为一次落定的 accent 边缘光带；紧凑格子可覆盖展开方向、胶囊条跨显示器拖拽重排、新组默认标签页导航。
• 更清晰的快捷方式图标与一批诚实修复。 Alt 拖入快捷方式保留目标图标、箭头高分辨率合成不再模糊；设置窗不再冻结旧主题、云备份页在 Native AOT 版不再崩溃、残留文件夹不再堵死同名格子、迁移回滚失败会说明原因。

完整条目见 CHANGELOG.md（含升级可靠性：独立布局存储、布局+设置成对提交、样式还原日志化两段提交）。

下载与校验

GitHub Releases 安装包

两个直接安装包都是 Full Native AOT 构建，并内置匹配架构的私有 Windows App Runtime，不需要另外下载 .NET 10 或 Windows App Runtime。安装包目前未进行 Authenticode 签名，下载后请校验 SHA-256。

Microsoft Store 上传包

Partner Center 只需要上传这个合并后的 .msixupload。其中包含 DeskBox_1.5.5.0_x64_arm64.msixbundle 以及匹配的 x64、ARM64 .appxsym 文件。内部 bundle 版本为 1.5.5.0，SHA-256 为 41C9C06DADB0775AC9EE0E73B43F7D83EB7C65205519273A5BF06828DDAA24D8。

分架构构建时产生的两个单架构 .msixupload 仅用于审计，不能作为最终商店包提交。

两个直接安装包和合并商店包都来自源码提交 e6f9a2aef8b4d8368a3d766b1d8187c04a38cc68 的源码树。

验证状态

• x64 全量测试共 4059 项，全部通过（2026-09-22，最终源码树 = 1.5.5 代码批次 + 文档补全）。
• x64 与 ARM64 双架构 Native AOT 零售发布及 Full 安装包打包于 2026-09-22 本地验证通过。
• 合并商店包经重新解包核验：双载荷哈希与审计输入一致，双架构载荷包审计通过。
