Updates the FluxDown Scoop manifest to version 0.2.1. The manifest refreshes metadata, installation notes, 64-bit and arm64 portable release URLs and hashes, pre-install initialization, shortcut configuration, persisted paths, and GitHub-based version checking and autoupdate templates.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The manifest adds FluxDown as a portable ZIP Scoop package and updates it to 0.2.1, matching the issue's package and version goals.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	The changes stay within the manifest update scope and do not introduce unrelated code or config outside the FluxDown package metadata.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly summarizes the main change: adding FluxDown version 0.2.1.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description includes a concise summary, issue reference, and required checklist items, with only template comments left implicit.

@z-Fng Thanks for the thorough review. All feedback addressed:

Applied:

Shortened description as suggested
Removed bin — confirmed flux_down.exe is GUI-only; the CLI (fluxdown.exe) is a separate binary not in the portable zip (added download note)
Removed uninstaller — shortcuts are handled by Scoop
autoupdate.hash.url → $baseurl/SHA256SUMS.txt

What took so long: spent most of the time debugging persist failures that turned out to be ~~stale files in $persist_dir from mixing different manifest iterations during testing, not a code issue~~ a timing bug in the original commit: settings.json was placed in post_install, which runs after Scoop's persist step, causing it to be created as a directory junction on first install. ~~The original pre_install + persist hardlink approach works correctly~~ After moving both files into pre_install, download history, window position, and theme all persist through updates. Verified end-to-end with v0.1.55 → v0.2.1 upgrade.

Bumped version to v0.2.1. Ready for re-review.

One more finding: the original commit placed settings.json creation in post_install, which runs after Scoop's persist step. On first install, if settings.json doesn't exist yet, persist creates it as a directory junction, then post_install can't overwrite it. Fixed by moving everything into pre_install.

ExLei · 2026-07-15T18:25:59Z

Prepared persist layout for the upcoming portable_data/ migration (refs zerx-lab/FluxDown#91).

Starting v0.3, FluxDown relocates portable runtime data from exe root into a unified portable_data/ subdirectory to keep the app root clean.

Three changes:

pre_install — create portable_data/ dir first, so Scoop persist step handles it as a directory junction rather than falling back to copy.
persist — add portable_data/ to the persist list alongside the old root-level items.
notes — update all file paths to reflect portable_data/ prefix.

Old root-level persist entries (flux_down.db, bt_session, settings.json, logs) are deliberately kept. The app includes built-in migration logic that rename()s these hardlinks into portable_data/ on first launch. This lets existing 0.2.x users upgrade without data loss. They can be dropped in a follow-up manifest once users have migrated.

- Free, blazing-fast multi-protocol download manager (IDM alternative) - Powered by Rust engine, supports HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/BitTorrent/HLS - x64 + arm64 portable install with Start Menu shortcut - Persist: flux_down.db, bt_session, settings.json, logs - Autoupdate with SHA256SUMS hash extraction - AGPL-3.0-only Closes ScoopInstaller#17922

- Shorten description per z-Fng's suggestion - Remove bin (flux_down.exe is GUI-only) - Remove uninstaller (shortcuts managed by Scoop; no Stop-Process) - Use $baseurl in autoupdate hash URL per z-Fng's suggestion - Keep original pre_install/persist from author's working bucket - Add CLI download note with $version

…aller#91) FluxDown v0.3+ moves portable runtime data from exe root into portable_data/ subdirectory (zerx-lab/FluxDown#91). - persist: add portable_data/ so Scoop hardlinks the new data directory - pre_install: create portable_data/ dir first so persist step handles it as a directory junction - notes: update all data path references to portable_data/ prefix Old root-level persist items (flux_down.db, bt_session, settings.json, logs) are kept for seamless 0.2.x→0.3.0 upgrades: the app's built-in migration code rename()s existing hardlinks from root into portable_data/ on first launch. They can be removed in a follow-up once users have upgraded.
