Q-Edit v0.6.1 — Release Notes

Date: 2025-08-23

Overview

This patch release fixes delete/overwrite publishing. Clicking the red X to “delete” an item now reliably publishes a minimal blank file, preventing a misleading disk-space error surfaced by the hub preflight check.

Fixes

• Delete publish: Replaces 0-byte payload with a minimal 1-byte file to satisfy the hub’s /arbitrary/check/tmp?totalSize=... preflight. This avoids the erroneous “Not enough space on your hard drive” message and completes the overwrite as intended.
• Behavior preserved: The resource is still effectively blanked (single newline), matching the app’s “replace with a blank file” intent.

Technical Notes

• The hub code rejects totalSize=0 during chunked uploads. Q-Edit now sends a 1-byte Blob in delete mode so chunking and finalize proceed normally.
• No changes to the edit flow or metadata prompts; delete continues to clear optional metadata fields as before.

Known

• Future improvement: allow base64 delete path to bypass chunking entirely. Current fix is minimal, robust, and backward-compatible.
