OneDriveGUI v2.4.0 - release for the OneDrive client v2.5.12. Minimum supported client version is v2.5.11.

Warning

Two things to know before upgrading:

Removed deprecated OneDrive client options (force_http_2, min_notify_changes, sync_business_shared_folders) change the client's config hash, so OneDrive will ask for a one-time --resync on the first start after the upgrade. This is expected - click Yes.
The application was re-packaged as a standard Python package. Third-party packages (AUR, etc.) will break until their maintainers update them - see the notes below.

What's Changed

Added

Support for OneDrive client v2.5.12: the GUI now consumes monitor-status.json as the authoritative high-level sync state, detects required resync from the client exit code, reports local Recycle Bin move failures, shows system clock drift warnings and understands the current deletion/rename wording #305
New client options in profile settings: skip_size, use_device_auth, permanent_delete #305
'Sign in with web browser' in the login dialog - the client opens the browser and receives the response itself, no URL copying #274
New setting 'Stop OneDrive clients when OneDriveGUI exits' (enabled by default). Clients are stopped gracefully with SIGINT, so in-flight transfers complete #267
OneDriveGUI detects a OneDrive client left running outside of the GUI and offers to take it over #267 #295
Failed file syncs are now reported with the actual error and a desktop notification; failed transfers are collapsed behind a toggle in the profile view
Free space shown in the system tray tooltip - good idea @ekolis #309
New setting 'Remember window size and position' #280
SharePoint site and library lists are now filterable, which helps with long lists #271
GUI and client version checks retry every 60 seconds when the network is not yet available at startup, by @nikolainyegaard in #308
Configurable maximum log file size (default 20 MB)

Fixed

The frameless window's X button closed only the current profile page, leaving a blank window on screen - it now hides the window to the system tray, by @nchou-git in #313
The client take-over check matched any process that merely mentioned the profile's configuration path in its command line (an editor, tail -F on the config file) and a sibling profile's client whose directory name started with this profile's - the GUI now takes over only the profile's own OneDrive client #314
GUI crash when the resync/auth dialog was the last visible window #297
Account type detection and persistence for SharePoint shared libraries, by @nikolainyegaard in #304 #271
Tray icon click raises the unfocused window, by @nikolainyegaard in #302
Autostart works when the executable is not on PATH, by @nikolainyegaard in #303
'Business Shared Folder has been deprecated' message shown without any business shared folders configured #287
Broken symlinks now show the actual file system error #278
Corrected tooltips of the advanced sync options #284
AppImage failing to start with missing libgthread-2.0.so.0 #283
Version checks compare versions numerically
Operation timeout can be set above 99 seconds

Packaging

OneDriveGUI is now a standard Python package, installable with pip and providing the onedrive-gui entry point, by @maikwoehl in #301
The AppImage ships the app icon in the hicolor theme layout (16x16 to 256x256 under apps/) and sets StartupWMClass, so GNOME (Wayland) shows the OneDriveGUI icon in the app grid and dock and matches the running window to its launcher entry #315

Note for package maintainers

The source layout changed in v2.4.0. Packages that copy src/*.py and run OneDriveGUI.py directly will break - see #311 for details and advance discussion.

All modules moved from src/*.py into the onedrive_gui package (src/onedrive_gui/). Running python3 src/OneDriveGUI.py no longer works - the package must be imported, not executed as a script.
Preferred: build/install the wheel and ship the generated onedrive-gui console script:
python3 -m pip install --no-deps --root=<pkgroot> onedrive_gui-2.4.0-*.whl
Use --no-deps and provide PySide6 (Essentials) and requests from your distribution, so pip does not install its own copies.
Alternative: copy the whole src/onedrive_gui/ directory to a location of your choice and launch with python3 -m onedrive_gui (parent directory on PYTHONPATH). Resources resolve relative to the package, so the location is up to you.
The version now lives only in src/onedrive_gui/options.py - the build reads it from there.
The .ui files are not shipped in the wheel, only the compiled ui_*.py modules.
Install the shipped OneDriveGUI.desktop (it now includes StartupWMClass=OneDriveGUI) and the hicolor icon set so desktop environments find the icon.

Third-party package broken after upgrade? Workaround for users

If you use the AUR onedrivegui-git package, consider switching to the onedrivegui release package or the AppImage until the packaging change settles. The -git package builds directly from the main branch and will fail to build once v2.4.0 is merged, while the release package only changes when its maintainer bumps the version.

If your package updated with a dead launcher, you can fix it without root, and the fix survives package updates:

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
printf '#!/bin/sh\nPYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/OneDriveGUI exec python3 -m onedrive_gui\n' > ~/.local/bin/onedrivegui
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/onedrivegui

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
sed 's/^Exec=.*/Exec=onedrivegui/' /usr/share/applications/onedrivegui.desktop > ~/.local/share/applications/onedrivegui.desktop

Adjust the paths if your package installs elsewhere. Just note that python3 OneDriveGUI.py no longer works - the GUI must be started with python3 -m onedrive_gui.

Or pin/downgrade your distro package to the previous version until the maintainer updates it.
Or install into your user directory and run the onedrive-gui command (needs PySide6 and requests installed from your distribution):
python3 -m pip install --user --no-deps https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI/archive/refs/tags/v2.4.0.tar.gz
Simplest of all: use the AppImage from this release.
