is hosted on Gitea. Auto-updates are now disabled with manual
distribution as the current update mechanism.
- Remove complex file-based locking that caused crashes
- Use only Electron's built-in requestSingleInstanceLock() API
- Second instances exit immediately with clear messaging
- Existing instance focuses and shows user-friendly dialog
- Prevents database conflicts and resource contention
- Update documentation with simplified approach
Fixes crashes when multiple instances run simultaneously.
- Implement app.requestSingleInstanceLock() to prevent multiple instances
- Add user-friendly dialog when second instance is attempted
- Focus and restore existing window instead of creating new instance
- Prevent database corruption and resource conflicts
- Update documentation with single-instance behavior details
Remove sourceMappingURL comment from plugin.js in @capacitor-community/sqlite to
prevent Electron DevTools from attempting to load the source map via the custom
capacitor-electron:// protocol. This eliminates harmless but noisy 404 warnings
in development. No impact on runtime or debugging.
- Remove //# sourceMappingURL=plugin.js.map from plugin.js
- Confirmed plugin.js.map exists for manual inspection if needed
- No changes to app logic or build process
Replace chained npm commands with single build-electron.sh script supporting
multiple build modes (dev/test/prod), platforms (windows/mac/linux), and
package types (appimage/deb/dmg). Add platform validation to prevent
cross-platform build issues and integrate cleaning functionality.
- Replace 15+ chained npm scripts with single modular build script
- Add platform detection and validation with early failure on mismatch
- Support environment-specific builds (development/test/production)
- Add comprehensive documentation in docs/electron-build-patterns.md
- Update BUILDING.md with new build patterns and examples
- Remove legacy electron:build:* scripts and consolidate under build:electron:*
- Add clean:electron script integrated into build process
- Improve error handling and user feedback throughout build process
This refactoring follows DRY principles, eliminates command chaining,
and provides a more maintainable and user-friendly build system.
Replace sandboxed Capacitor filesystem with native IPC for reliable file exports:
- Add IPC handler in main process for direct Downloads folder access
- Expose secure electronAPI via contextBridge in preload script
- Update ElectronPlatformService to use native IPC with web fallback
- Add TypeScript definitions for electron APIs
- Fix file export issues where files were trapped in virtual filesystem
- Enable proper date-stamped backup filenames in Downloads folder
- Follow Electron security best practices with process isolation
Files now export directly to ~/Downloads with exact path feedback.
- Implement worker-only database access to eliminate double migrations
- Add parameter serialization in usePlatformService to prevent Capacitor "object could not be cloned" errors
- Fix infinite logging loop with circuit breaker in databaseUtil
- Use dynamic imports in WebPlatformService to prevent worker thread errors
- Add higher-level database methods (getContacts, getSettings) to composable
- Eliminate Vue Proxy objects through JSON serialization and Object.freeze protection
Resolves Proxy(Array) serialization failures and worker context conflicts across Web/Capacitor/Electron platforms.
- Add comprehensive IndexedDB to SQLite migration service (1,397 lines)
- Create migration UI with progress tracking and validation (1,492 lines)
- Fix Electron TypeScript compilation and SQLite plugin issues
- Expand migration system with detailed documentation and error handling
- Add development guide and coding standards
Resolves: #electron-startup #database-migration #typescript-errors
Impact: Enables user-friendly database migration with full data verification
- Added custom error handler for electron-unhandled to suppress EPIPE errors
- Added process.stdout and process.stderr error handlers for EPIPE
- EPIPE errors are common in AppImages due to console output pipe issues
- App now runs cleanly without unhandled error dialogs
Resolves console output errors that were causing unhandled error dialogs
in the distributed AppImage while maintaining proper error logging for
other types of errors.
