If you open an SSH connection to an SFTP Server and then navigate to the terminal view, the app crashes after selecting any other view.

It would be nice to have a custom titlebar which also adapts to the current selected team, like e.g. in the Discord Windows client.

Move the option to save a connection from the login page to the bookmark overview with the ability to choose between multiple connections to save.

This can be discussed for sure, but in my opinion some elements (even if they are greyed out) have too little contrast in comparison to the dark themes.

Automatically change the appearance of Transflow between light and dark with Apple's appearance mode.

You should give the user the opportunity to customize the installation path.

Currently you cannot rename the saved servers yet :(
Would be a nice extra

On Unix devices, it is common to not use CTRL-A/CTRL-C/CTRL-X (CTRL-C is rather reserved for killing a process) but rather something will be automatically copied when selecting and pasted with a right click. There should be an option to switch between both methods.

Many users (including) search in vain for a connect button, especially if you insert your SSH key last. It should be clearer how to start the connection.

To ensure continious styling, it would be nice to implement custom dropdowns instead of using standard HTML5 ones.

It'd be nice to allow multiple connections at once using tabs etc.

Currently TAB selects the current input, which is uncommon behaviour for SSH clients.

In all common file browsers, when you press a letter, the first entry with this initial letter is selected, when you press the next, the next one is selected.

The terminal is not auto-scrolling if a task prints some lines of output. Only after the task finished the window is scrolled down to the cli.

Protocol names are confusing.
FTP is insecure FTP.
SFTP is SFTP and SSH with a password.
SSH is SFTP and SSH with a private key.

Usually, files starting with a dot are hidden. It would be nice to have an option to hide them in transflow too.

The scrollbar is visible on the whole heigh but should only be attached to the current output window, e.g. terminal or file explorer. Makes it more clear and visible.

Currently, it's hard to understand for new users. A better implementation would be to replace the inner circle with the used blue one and leave out the white one for free space.

You can't open files without filename extensions.

Actual output:

Should be:

Just a thread on ideas improving the user interface.

My approach:

It would be a nice feature to be able to use a local terminal in Transflow.

What happens:

• When pressing "+" the form to create a new connection will open
• When I press "Save connection" while having an open connection, this connection will be saved
  

The button has nothing to do with the form, it is bound to the active connection.
This explains why this button was disabled when I created the first connection. I was confused, I cannot save it, but the reason was that I did not have an active connection.

What do users expect:

• The button should act as a flag, if the connection I'm just creating should be saved in the library.
• With the current functionality of the button, it should not be part of the form

Currently, the server only disappears. An error message would be nice.

It would be good to have an option per connection or saved connection where you can choose to start an FTP session in the user folder instead of /. This could be activated e.g. for shared hosting.

In addition to saved connections, it'd nice to save specific "account presets" or identities, but most importantly saving your ssh key, so you don't have to reselect it when connecting without QuickConnect.

I own an mouse with a dedicated back button, when clicking it, transflow becomes unusable and stays on a black screen.

Switch to light theme and then to the theme after that

Current behavior:
The close button (X) for an active session is displayed after a certain delay if hovered over.

Expected behavior:
The button is displayed immediately after hovering the specific session.

A function to quick connect with an url like
ssh://[email protected]:22 would be nice.

Currently, you can select any file as SSH private key, the client will simply not connect (stays on the orange/yellow bubble) without giving the user any hint about a corrupted or wrong file.

Currently, the storage view uses df -l -h -BM to get disk usage of all drives, and then only displays the first.
This leads to uncommon behaviour on servers where many virtual drives are used etc and/or multiple drives are connected.

I moved my downloads folder to D:\ but it downloads to the original downloads folder in C:\

The current window title stays at ftp.

Hello,
it would be awesome if it would be possible to install transflow using https://brew.sh :)
