Recent episodes from iCloud Photos Downloader

  1. Weekly Recap - Trustworthy Failures and Sign-In Control

    Four pull requests and no additional commits centered on reliability over features. The pattern this week is honest failure signals, safer configuration, and user control over Apple sign-ins.

  2. Safer Sign-In Proposal

    A single draft proposal dominates activity with no broader pattern. Pull request 1383 would require confirmation in the web interface before re-authenticating with Apple, addressing unexpected late-night sign-in prompts.

  3. Clearer Login Failure Instead of Crash

    A single focused fix addresses invalid-session logins that crashed on a missing session key. Authentication now raises a clear failed-login error that the single-run path logs with exit code 1.

  4. Fixing Silent Successes

    Two fixes address runs that looked successful while doing nothing: packaged builds now propagate failure exit codes, and reversed date filters are rejected with an error. The shared impact is more reliable automation and scripting.

  5. Weekly Recap - Retention Safety and Proposed Project Reset

    Two pull request items and no additional commits shaped a split week of steady maintenance and potential redirection. The pattern is incremental deletion safety work alongside a broad proposal to replace the iCloud downloader stack with…

  6. Repository Reset Around Photo Curator

    A single broad pull request, PR #1378, removes the legacy iCloud downloader and related tooling to promote Photo Curator to the repository root. The change preserves app identity and storage locations while reporting verified tests,…

  7. Smarter Deletion Age Logic

    A single pull request adds a new option letting users base the retention window for recent-photo deletion on when a photo was added to iCloud rather than when it was captured, addressing a real risk for anyone bulk-importing old scans.

  8. Weekly Recap - Rethinking Auto-Delete Safety

    This week's development focused on a single, high-impact overhaul of the auto-delete feature, shifting it to an identity-based tracking model designed to fail safely rather than risk unintended deletions. The change, proposed in pull…
