Pachli 2.8.1 is now available. This fixes a crash when uploading media and corrects two UI problems.
Significant bug fixes #
Fix crash when posting media #
In some cases Pachli could crash if you tried to send a post while the media for the post was still uploading. This is fixed, you can upload again with impunity.
Restore transitions when opening a video #
Pachli shows videos in your timeline as a still image, and when you tap the image it should smoothly transition to the full screen video player.
Jasdemi reported this was not working correctly in #920.
Investigation showed a bug in newer versions of the Google media library on Android 14 broke this transition; the video still plays, but when you tap the video nothing appears to happen for a second or two before it starts playing. The bug has been worked around, and the transition is back.
Prevent overlapping text on preview cards #
In some rare situations the text on a preview card – which shows you an image for the first link in any post and a few lines of summary text – could overlap the image. Thanks to Kalle Kniivilä for reporting this.
Thank you #
Thank you to everyone who took the time to report issues and provide additional followup information and screenshots.
