Foldergram

Foldergram v1.2.1

This release adds AVIF support across scanning, derivatives, and viewing, improves scan failure handling, restores the intended Reels desktop layout behavior, and introduces editable post captions plus cleaner folder description expansion.

Highlights

• Added full AVIF support across the app.

  • Static .avif files now behave like normal images throughout Foldergram
  • Uses the regular Sharp-based image pipeline for static AVIF files
  • Preserves expected image behavior such as transparency
  • Reads normal AVIF metadata without requiring ffprobe
  • Folder cover detection now supports cover.avif

• Added support for animated AVIF image posts.

  • Animated AVIF files are detected during scanning and stay in the image flow instead of switching to video handling
  • Grid-style surfaces generate static WebP thumbnails for animated AVIF posts
  • Feed and detail views generate animated WebP previews for animated AVIF posts
  • Keeps animated AVIF content displaying like an image post rather than opening in the video player

Fixes and improvements

• Added configurable scan media error handling with SCAN_MEDIA_ERROR_MODE

  • skip continues scanning supported media and records failures in a report
  • fail preserves strict fail-fast behavior for scan-time media errors
  • Settings now surfaces the full scan error report path when a run completes with media errors

• Restored Reels desktop sizing so the active reel fits desktop layouts more cleanly

• Improved desktop reel details sidebar placement so it opens on the more appropriate side for landscape and portrait-style desktop viewports

• Improve desktop portrait stories modal sizing and previews

• Added automatic SQLite schema migrations with Dbmate

  • Existing local databases are safely baselined on first startup after upgrade
  • Fresh installs are created from the baseline migration
  • Future schema changes can apply automatically during dev, production, Docker startup, and manual migration runs

• Added editable post captions with admin-only updates, filename fallback, and immediate UI sync across feed, viewer, search, likes, trash, and reels

• Improved folder description expand/collapse so long descriptions only show a toggle when needed and reset cleanly when navigating between folders

Notes

This release focuses on broader image-format support, safer database upgrades, better resilience around broken or unreadable media during scans, and a more polished Reels experience on desktop.
