File Extraction

Zdir version 4.1.4 now supports file extraction, currently supporting compressed file formats of zip/tar/gz/tgz. You can perform extraction through the right-click menu, as shown in the image below.

The default extraction filename is current filename + underscore + current time. For example, the compressed package zdir_4.1.4_linux_amd64.tar.gz will be extracted into a new folder named zdir_4.1.4_linux_amd64.tar_202408301145.

Chunk Upload

Zdir version 4.1.4 introduces chunk upload support (Range requests), primarily addressing issues with large file upload failures and timeouts. Users no longer need to configure POST request sizes and timeout settings in Nginx, reducing costs and complexity. This improvement is seamless for users, as there are no changes to the upload interface. Future updates will also support resuming interrupted uploads based on chunk uploads.

Default Sorting

In previous versions, Zdir supported front-end sorting by file modification date, filename, and file size. This time, a fixed sorting feature on the backend has been added. Users can select their preferred sorting method in “Parameter Settings >> File Sorting Method,” as shown in the image below.
