Summary

  • Prefer NomadNet Resource {"name"} metadata when naming /file/... downloads (falls back to path basename).
  • Inline preview for common Nomad rasters (png/jpeg/gif/webp/bmp/avif) with Download/Dismiss.
  • Ingest LXMF FIELD_IMAGE and multi-file FIELD_FILE_ATTACHMENTS into the attachment payload path.
  • Add Save… / Show in folder on chat LXMF attachment lines.

Dependencies

CI floats .rsstack to origin/main. Merge these first (or pin RS_*_REF in CI):

Test plan

  • Download /file/photos/pic.png from an rsNomad host — filename comes from Resource metadata
  • Raster preview appears; Download saves the file
  • Inbound LXMF with FIELD_IMAGE shows as attachment / inline image
  • Multi-file attachments: first remains primary; attachments array present in sidecar JSON
  • Save… / Show in folder work for cached attachments

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added inline previews for supported raster images downloaded from Nomad, with options to download or dismiss.
    • Added Save and Reveal actions for Reticulum attachments.
    • Improved attachment handling to support multiple attachments and additional image formats, including WebP, BMP, and AVIF.
    • Downloaded files now use their provided resource name when available, with a path-based fallback.
    • Added support for displaying and saving raster image attachments using browser previews.

Prefer Resource filename metadata on Nomad /file downloads, preview common
rasters in the Nomad panel, ingest FIELD_IMAGE and multi-file attachments,
and add Save/Reveal controls on chat attachment lines.

Depends on ratspeak/rsReticulum#26, Colorado-Mesh/rsNomad#7, ratspeak/rsLXMF#7.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The sidecar now preserves Nomad resource metadata, derives file names from metadata, decodes multiple attachments, and supports more MIME types. The renderer adds raster previews for Nomad files and Save or Reveal actions for attachments. Workflow builds use pinned Ratspeak stack commits.

Changes

File handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nomad metadata propagation and file naming
reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/live.rs, reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/nomad_file.rs
Nomad queries now return optional resource metadata. File naming prefers the metadata name value and falls back to the request path. Tests cover both paths.
Attachment decoding and MIME support
reticulum-sidecar/src/stack/live.rs
Attachment conversion now collects multiple file attachments, uses an image fallback, and maps WebP, BMP, and AVIF MIME types.
Nomad raster preview flow
src/renderer/lib/nomad/nomadRasterPreview.ts, src/renderer/components/NomadNetworkPanel.tsx
Supported raster files now produce data URLs and an inline preview. Unsupported files use direct download.
Attachment save and reveal actions
src/renderer/components/ReticulumAttachmentLine.tsx
Attachment rows now provide Save and Reveal actions. Save reuses or rereads attachment data and prevents concurrent saves.
Pinned stack builds
.github/workflows/*.yaml, reticulum-sidecar/Cargo.toml
Workflow jobs pin the Ratspeak stack repositories to explicit commits. rmpv is always compiled for Nomad metadata helpers.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4957c

The new attachment save and Nomad preview behavior can save or expose stale content after navigation or attachment changes, and has smaller filename, preview, and accessibility defects. Resolve these issues before merging to avoid incorrect attachment downloads and degraded file handling.

Sidecar CI floated siblings to main without ReplyFile / multi-file LXMF
APIs. Pin rsReticulum#26, rsLXMF#7, and rsNomad#7 heads, and make rmpv
non-optional so stub builds can parse Nomad Resource filename metadata.

Clear filePreview when Nomad navigation changes the viewer.

filePreview is local state in the mounted NomadNetworkPanel, while navigation updates selectedHash and pagePath without clearing it. Clear it before loadNodePage and in closeViewer, or bind it to its originating page before rendering.

Normalize the filename before MIME selection.

A filename such as photo.PNG passes isNomadRasterFileName, but nomadRasterDataUrl lowercases the untrimmed filename. The MIME lookup then returns application/octet-stream, which can prevent the image preview from rendering. Use the trimmed filename for MIME selection.

Proposed fix
-  const lower = fileName.toLowerCase();
+  const lower = fileName.trim().toLowerCase();

Reject . and .. metadata basenames. Valid MessagePack name values pass the current check and reach fetch_nomad_file as file_name. The UI then passes these values to the download helper instead of using the request-path basename. Treat . and .. as absent so the helper falls back to nomad_file_name_from_path(path).

86-113: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Surface attachment read and save failures separately from dialog cancellation. The save IPC returns { success: false } for dialog cancellation but throws on write failure. The read IPC handlers also throw on read failure. onSave catches these failures without user feedback, so Save appears to do nothing. Keep cancellation silent and report rejected reads and writes through the established renderer error UI.

Add component tests for Nomad raster previews.

NomadNetworkPanel.test.tsx does not cover the nomadRasterDataUrl branch. Add cases for .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .webp, .bmp, and .avif, plus a non-raster case that calls downloadNomadFileFromBase64. Assert that Preview Download passes the original filename and base64 payload, and Dismiss removes the preview.
