Release 1.5.0 · Forge 4.0.0

🛡️ Confirmation before deleting files

• Protection against accidental deletions: When you use the Attach and delete originals option with more than 5 files in the staging area, a confirmation dialog is now displayed before proceeding.
  • The dialog shows the complete list of files that will be deleted.
  • It includes a clear warning indicating that this action cannot be undone.
  • You must explicitly confirm to continue, preventing accidental loss of important attachments.

✨ Custom name for the resulting file

  • An automatic name is suggested by default (MERGED_[ISSUE-KEY].pdf, CONVERTED_[ORIGINAL-NAME].pdf, or FILES_[ISSUE-KEY].zip).
  • The system validates characters in real time; these are not allowed: / \ : * ? " < > |.
  • It shows a counter and sets a maximum limit of 100 characters.

🎨 New official logo
