Hotfixes

The integrated AzCopy version is now 10.5.0. This version of AzCopy fixes several outstanding AzCopy issues. Full release notes can be found here. Related fixed issues:
- AzCopy now uses better content-types when uploading file types commonly used in software development. #2956 #2289
- AzCopy now supports a broader range of timestamp formats in SAS tokens. #2457

  #2466
Several issues were created by changing the default time to live for a new queue message to "none". The default option has been restored to 7 days. Please note that a TTL of "none" is not supported for Azure Stack or the .NET Storage Emulator. #3112 #3124 #3173
Queue messages that were not Base64 encoded were having their messages Base64 decoded in the queue explorer data table. This has been fixed. #3154
Storage Explorer is now using Electron 8.3.4. #3183
If you are enrolled in the ADLS Gen2 snapshots preview, you can enable ADLS Gen2 snapshot features by going to Settings → Services → Storage Accounts -> Enable ADLS Gen2 snapshots (preview).

There is now a setting to turn on AzCopy's --decompress flag. Enabling this flag will tell AzCopy to decompress files during download. Supported compression formats are gzip and deflate. You can find more information about this setting under: Settings → Transfers → AzCopy → Decompress Files. #758 #2359
There is now a setting to turn on AzCopy's --preserve-smb-info flag. Enabling this flag will tell AzCopy to preserve SMB information when transferring data between File Shares and other SMB aware resources. You can find more information about this setting under: Settings → Transfers → AzCopy → Preserve SMB information. #2969

If you have a custom domain for a Storage Account, you can now choose to use your custom domain instead of the Blob service endpoint when copying Blob URLs. #1153
When uploading Blobs with a SAS whose permissions come from an Access Policy, you will now be asked how you would like to handle overwrites and other features which require read permission. #2336
Support has been added for properly browsing files and folders with no name. Some operations are disabled for such files and folders though. For more information see the linked issue. #1512
You can now double click to open files in ADLS Gen2 Blob containers. #3044
Files put onto the clipboard from your operating system's file system can now be pasted into Blob containers. #1203

Storage Explorer now supports accessing Queue resources via RBAC. #975
Possible values for time to live (TTL) have been expanded when adding a message. You can now specify any positive TTL or even no TTL. #314
You can now specify a visibility delay when adding a message to a queue. #2738

Storage Explorer now requires .NET Core version 2.1 or 2.2 on Linux. Previously, only version 2.2 was compatible. #2752
The Linux dependencies section in the troubleshooting guide has been updated with new information.

For most text input dialogs, the default text in the text input box is now highlighted. #2071
When computing statistics in a Blob container or File Share, a timestamp is now added to the final results in the Activity Log. #222

Disk copies would fail if the copy was from one tenant to another. This has been fixed. #2722
Certain queue messages would be mistakenly identified as Base64 encoded and thus be Base64 decoded. Now, you can toggle between viewing queue messages as Base64 encoded or UTF-8 encoded. #1338
For certain dates, the date picker in the Manage Access Policies dialog would become buggy. This has been fixed. #2812
The validation for Blob metadata keys was not correctly identifying all invalid strings. This has been fixed. #2567
The save file dialog would freeze for certain locales on macOS. This was fixed by the Electron upgrade. #2794
After searching by prefix in a Blob container, if a folder was returned and you navigated into that folder, the prefix to search would be lost and the navigation would fail. This has been fixed. #541 #2667

If you are on Windows 10, version 1909 or older, and you try to open a file without a file extension, you will be unable to select what application you would like to use to open the file. This issue is fixed in Windows 10 version 2004. #1531
Messages with no time to live may cause issues when working with the .NET Storage Emulator or Azure Stack. #3124
When deleting stub files with metadata hdi_isFolder=true, the delete will only succeed if the file is the only thing you are deleting. Attempts to delete such a file at the same time as other files will result in the stub file being skipped. #2466
