vinceglb/FileKit 0.14.0

on GitHub

FileKit 0.14.0 focuses on platform coverage, picker reliability, and clearer dialog APIs.

This release adds native Windows support, web directory picking, iOS picker configuration improvements, Android SAF fixes, and file saver extension filters. It also includes several documentation updates and dependency upgrades to keep FileKit aligned with the latest Kotlin Multiplatform ecosystem.

✨ What's New

• Add directory picker support to web and WASM targets by @timo-drick in #554
• Add support for PlatformFile.lastModified() on web targets by @timo-drick in #546
• Add iOS asset representation mode setting for PhotoKit picker results by @vinceglb in #576
• Add allowed extensions to file saver dialogs by @vinceglb in #578

✅ Improvements

• Fix Android file:// PlatformFile existence checks by @vinceglb in #521
• Preserve photo-picker fallback extension by @vinceglb in #533
• Preserve iOS picker cancel semantics and expose picker failures more clearly by @vinceglb in #536
• Add exception details for bookmark failure by @AnsifDev in #570
• Fix Android SAF child directory handling by @vinceglb in #574

📝 Documentation

• Document Linux FileKit Dialogs ProGuard rules by @vinceglb in #534

⬆️ Dependency Updates

• Kotlin 2.3.21
• Compose Multiplatform 1.10.3
• Android Gradle Plugin 9.2.0
• Gradle 9.4.1
• Android compile/target SDK 37
• AndroidX Activity 1.13.0
• AndroidX Lifecycle 2.10.0
• kotlinx-serialization 1.11.0
• kotlinx-browser 0.5.0

⚠️ Migration Notes

• openFileSaver(..., extension = "txt") is deprecated. Use defaultExtension = "txt" for the suggested extension, and allowedExtensions = setOf("txt", "md") when the native dialog should offer extension filters.
• On iOS, use FileKitAssetRepresentationMode.Compatible when you need picker results that are easier to decode with Skia/Compose image APIs.
• Web directory picking is based on browser file inputs, so empty directories and real directory metadata are not available from the browser.
