raider's Issues

Progress is not realistic

The files finish shredding when the progress icon is still not done.

Fedora package

I've created a copr for raider

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/0xmrtt/raider

Run

dnf copr enable 0xmrtt/raider 
dnf in raider 

Raider does not check if shred exists

When Raider starts it should check if shred (part of the GNU Coreutils) exists. Raider is only meant for Linux, which always has the Coreutils installed, but maybe some dont.

Shredding file takes forever

Hi, I just tested Raider from flatpak manifest against commit b4acc1e

Wheel only shows "Estimating..." and takes forever. I didn't change any setting.

Icon Style Used In Application

The icon style used in the application is not symbolic, as recommended in the GNOME HIG. Change all of them to symbolic.

Screenshot Theming

The screenshots in the appdata file are not themed with Adwaita. They are themed with Adapta Night, which is not the default mode. Take them in Adwaita.

Raider freezes temporarily when opening a lot of files

When opening up to a 1000 files at once, Raider freezes. Also it freezes when the Shred button is clicked.
To fix, I'll make it asynchronous.

File Shredder installed from Flathub invokes generic Wayland icon under KDE Plasma 5.24.5 (both window switcher and task manager side)

Description

File Shredder's icon (version 0.1.0 installed from Flathub) is not being picked up by neither window switcher nor task manager when using under KDE Plasma 5.24.5 in Wayland session (generic Wayland icon is being used instead).

Steps to reproduce

1. Install File Shredder in version 0.1.0 from Flathub on system with KDE Plasma 5.24.5.
2. Make sure Plasma is running in Wayland mode (on Fedora 36 KDE it can be choosen in SDDM display manager).
3. Run File Shredder from either Krunner, Konsole or application launcher.
4. Look at the panel, also press Alt+Tab to show window switcher

Expected results
File Shredder's own icon should be shown in both window switcher and on the panel in task manager.

Actual results
Generic Wayland icon is shown in both window switcher and on the panel in task manager.

raider fails to shred files passed via command line

raider v1.2.1
manjaro gnome 42.4
Installed from AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/raider-file-shredder

when starting raider using the command line and passing filenames, the files are show in the raider UI, but shredding fails.

$ raider /tmp/xyzzy
(raider:20766): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 08:57:44.826: g_file_get_path: assertion 'G_IS_FILE (file)' failed
(raider:20766): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 08:57:44.829: g_file_get_path: assertion 'G_IS_FILE (file)' failed
No shred output found.
(raider:20766): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 08:57:49.773: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

or alternatively with a core dump .

$ raider /tmp/xyzzy
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  raider /tmp/xyzzy

Raider does not revert to regular mode when single or all file(s) fails to shred

The file is no longer shredding, but the abort button is still open. But will have to be left that way if other files are loaded, and still are shredding, the abort button could be needed.

Raider app crashes when window is closed

When a window is closed during shredding the application crashes, thus leading to other possibly open windows.

Add Keyboard Shortcuts

Add a keyboard shortcuts window for accessibility.

Shred only a specific length of a file

Raider already has the offset thing, but now the length thing would be nice too.

Preferences are not theming

The HdyActionRows are plain text, not the way they look when I snapshot it in Glade. Why is this?

[Question] How I can add new translation?

There is no template.pot, where I can get .po file to translate?

Empty State Not Compliant With GNOME

Use HdyStatusPage or AdwStatusPage to make it look uniform with all GNOME apps.

Port to GTK4 and Libadwaita

Toast is Slow

The use of toast to signal completion of a single file being shred introduces significant delays when processing many smaller files located on tmpfs filesystem. Shredding many small files using "shred -zuv" is very quick to complete. Shredding the same number of small files in raider takes considerably longer due to the delays introduced by toasting the shredding of each individual file. A rough estimation is that the toast takes a number of seconds per file, whereas the native shred command takes 1 second to complete.

In my case the process would be optimised if the toast was only used to signal the end of all shredding.

Shred Button Not Red With All Themes

Make sure that the shredding button is always red for all themes. Using the .destructive-action class.

Notification Crashes App

If there is a notification in the empty view and it is closed via its X button, the application crashes. Nemiver points it to grabbing a widget ancestor to focus.

Won't start

I am using Arch + XFCE and the latest Shredder flatpak. I get this error:

libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

libEGL warning: DRI2: could not open /dev/dri/card0 (No such file or directory)
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

No provider of glGetShaderiv found.  Requires one of:
    Desktop OpenGL 2.0
    OpenGL ES 2.0

Automatic shredding of folder files

I'd like to suggest a new feature:

Adding folders to the regular shredding list.

That is, the user selects folders and the cleaning interval (1 hour, 3 hours, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month). Files in this folder are automatically shredded according to a schedule.

Raider aborts when shredding is started

On iMac late 2012, right when shredding starts, the application aborts.

Notification blocks shred button.

After clicking the "Shred All" button the notifications appears one after another for each file shredded and blocks the shred button so the user must click X over and over on all of the notifications or simply wait it out before being able to shred any more files.

Drop app icon transparency

The transparency in the app icon makes it look glitchy on some backgrounds because you can't really see the strips inside, e.g. on white:

I'd drop the transparency and just use colors similar to how it looks with the black background in the example above.

Remove Methods may need some descriptions

Hi,

It's under Advanced Setting and we may ignore but could you add a bit description about removing methods?
I have no idea why I have to select Wipesync instead of Wipe or Unlink.

We may change string someting like this:

• WipeSync, Default, Very secure but slow.
• Wipe, Less secure but fast.
• Unlink, Not secure.

I found the descriptions on this man page: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/shred.1.html

Raider aborts when shredding upwards of a 1000 files

Raider segfaults when trying to launch all those processes with:

** (raider:2): ERROR **: 10:20:14.485: Process launching failed: Too many open files

To fix this, lets put a cap on how many files can be loaded at once, perhaps by figuring out dynamically from the system the max number of files that can be open, and corresponding processes can be launched.

RaiderShredBackend error messages

v e8168f6

Command line error messages issued when testing shredding large number of files. In practice this is more prevalent the greater number of files being shredded and does not seem to happen if shredding smaller numbers < 200.

"Some files did not exist" message

Hi,

When you drag files/a file into the window of the app it shows the message "Some files did not exist" and doesn't run the task.

Best regards!

Progress is not smooth

The progress update are not smooth. The progress should update when the progress goes up by 1%, not 3.5% or what it is right now.

Update Translations

@oscfdezdz, @albanobattistella, and @eson57, Raider's been ported to GTK4, and the translations need to be updated. This time, generated a POT file, so this time around should be easier, but please contact me if there is any issues. Thanks! :)

Shred stop with many file on fast SSD

I have a problem since last update when I shred at least 25 files from an unique folder. It does not go to the end of the shredding. (It waits like it was waiting for something, if I click on Abort and relaunch, it shreds all the remaining file but continues to mark them as if it was waiting to be shredded).
And when one is done, emptying the remaining, I have to stop and relaunch Raider.

Fedora; Flatpak; Raider 1.3.0;

Popover is broken

The progress popover pointer is broken back into the popover.

Shreding of free space

Any plans for adding option for shredding the "free" space?

App listing quality

The app listing is pretty high quality, but there are a few minor issues:

• Needs brand colors
• The first screenshot should not show an empty state, but how the app looks in action (i.e. with some files opened). That's because the first screenshot is the one used on featured banners on Flathub.
• Not mandatory, but would be nice to fix the icon transparency issue #133

Flathub quality guidelines: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/appdata-guidelines/quality-guidelines

Notice thrown re: Gnome 40 and flatpak

"The GNOME 40 runtime is no longer supported as of March 21, 2022. Please ask your application developer to migrate to a supported platform."
Platform: Ubuntu 20.04
app: File Shredder
version: 1.3.1

Simplify Preferences Dialog

The preferences dialog as it is is too detailed. Get rid of

• Hide Shredding
• Remove Method
• Overwrite data source (too niche for real use)
• Do not round file sizes (not applicable to secure-delete)
  Convert number of passes into an option to do fast shredding or secure shredding.

Slovenian translaton

Hi, a couple of weeks ago I contributed Slovenian translation. Today I got new version from Flathub (3.0.0), but when I run it, it is in English language.

Did something went wrong or I am doing something wrong? I have Ubuntu 23.10.

Provide instruction to build raider from cmd in terminal

Could you add "How to" instructions to README.md file which I can use to build raider from scratch and don't use flatpack/etc on my live-cd/usb ?

Icon Design Compliance With GNOME HIG
