The extension is hosted in a sibling repo and
is distributed off-store. Each WROLPi release ships the prebuilt artifacts
under wrolpi/static/extensions/ and serves them at /api/extensions/<file>:
- wrolpi-chrome.zip Load-Unpacked sideload for Chrome / Brave / Edge
- wrolpi-firefox.xpi Mozilla-signed (unlisted self-distribution),
one-click install in any Firefox
- versions.json Per-browser version metadata for the install page
Backend (modules/archive/api.py, wrolpi/root_api.py):
- POST /api/archive/upload accepts an optional repeated `tagNames`
multipart form field; the upload switch handler applies tags to the
new FileGroup via FileGroup.set_tags(). Unknown tag names are auto-
created inside a per-name SAVEPOINT so concurrent inserts on the same
novel name don't abort the transaction (Tag.name has unique=True).
- GET /api/extensions returns metadata (per-file availability + size +
versions.json contents) for the install page.
- GET /api/extensions/<filename> serves the binary, whitelisted by
filename. Firefox .xpi is served as application/x-xpinstall WITHOUT a
Content-Disposition: attachment header, so Firefox triggers its
add-on install handler instead of saving the file.
Frontend (app/src/):
- New /admin/extension page (linked from AdminRoute) detects the user's
browser via navigator.userAgent and renders an install card per
Firefox / Chromium / Other. Pulls metadata from /api/extensions to
show file size and version, and gracefully reports 'Not yet
available' when binaries are missing.
- Dashboard's Getters component supports a deep link from the
extension's 'Configure Download' button:
/?downloader=<archive|video|...>&download_url=<u1>&download_url=<u2>
On mount, the matching downloader form auto-opens with URLs pre-
filled. Query params are cleared on close so a refresh doesn't
re-open the modal.
- DownloadMenu and the per-downloader forms accept an `initialUrls`
seed via the existing `download` prop pattern, joined with newlines
for the `urls` textarea (and first URL for single-URL forms).
Behavior is fully backwards compatible: pre-existing API callers can
still POST to /api/archive/upload without `tagNames`, and the
DashboardPage modal continues to open via the existing button click
when no deep-link query params are present.
Map viewer has simple search.
Map search databases can be downloaded from CDN, or built locally. Map searches can be built offline, but will not have enriched things like state names downloaded from Wikidata.
Create a new Docs module that consolidates PDF and eBook handling into a
unified system with subjects and authors support. This replaces the
separate PDF/eBook modelers with a single Doc model backed by an
alembic migration (rename ebook to doc).
Key changes:
- New modules/docs package with models, API, extractors, and lib
- Subject and author metadata extraction with case-insensitive
normalization for cleaner PDF metadata
- Frontend Docs pages with AuthorsPage, SubjectsPage using
CollectionTable, and doc card deletion
- Global search integration for subjects and authors
- Generic collection item count support
- Frontend file card metadata adjusted to match collection sort
- Bump yt-dlp version
* Added encrypted cookies feature for use with yt-dlp. Decrypted cookies never touch the disk.
* Adding sleep between all downloads to prevent rapid requests.
* Channels are fully refreshed before downloading.
* Removing superseded video browser profile.
