feat: Finder integration (right-click compress + dock drop)#15
Merged
Conversation
Adds a headless compression path triggered by macOS's open-document event so users can right-click a PDF, choose "Open With → compress[pdf]", and get a native notification when the work is done — no main window, no in-app interaction needed. The flow always writes a `_compressed.pdf` sibling and never overwrites the original, even if the in-app Overwrite setting is enabled, because the Finder context has no preview/confirm step. Output folder and preset are still read from the user's saved settings, and a new "Finder right-click preset" control in the settings panel lets users choose Max/Balanced/Minimal as the default. - tauri.conf.json: declare PDF file association (role: Viewer); start the main window hidden so headless launches don't flash a UI - Cargo.toml: add tauri-plugin-single-instance and tokio (time) - compress.rs: extract compress_files_inner returning outcomes so the headless flow can tally success/failure for the notification - headless.rs (new): filter PDF paths, force Suffix naming, run compression, post a summary notification - lib.rs: install single-instance plugin, handle RunEvent::Opened, defer window-show 400ms so file-open launches stay headless - settings.rs: add default_preset field with serde default for migration - DetailPanel.svelte: new "Finder right-click preset" radios Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The settings block at the bottom of DetailPanel was reading as a SwiftUI System Settings form — three field headers, ten stacked radio rows, a long hint paragraph — which is exactly what the project's design context calls out as the thing to avoid. Replaces it with a Raycast-style preference layout: one horizontal row per setting, single-word label on the left, segmented control on the right. - Three settings collapse from ~10 rows to 3 - Real <input type="radio"> kept inside styled <label class="segment"> so keyboard nav and ARIA semantics stay intact - Conditional detail rows (folder picker, overwrite warning) appear indented under their parent setting, aligned to the control column - Section heading dropped; the subtle divider above is the separator - Long right-click hint replaced with a native title tooltip on the "Right-click" label - Folder path: bumped to accent blue so the selected value reads as meaningful, uses direction: rtl so long paths truncate from the start (you always see the leaf folder) - Choose button: bg-overlay + full border + accent hover, sits flush on the panel background instead of in a chip container Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Default preset segmented control showed the same three labels (Max/Balanced/Minimal) as the per-file Quality control above, creating a confusing collision when a user was looking at a selected file — two identical-looking selectors visible at once. Folds Default preset into a collapsed-by-default Advanced disclosure so the per-file Quality preset is the only preset selector visible during normal use. Output and Naming stay visible: they affect every compression (in-app and right-click), and Naming has the destructive overwrite warning that needs to be glanceable. - Custom Svelte disclosure with Svelte's slide transition, 180ms with cubicOut easing; respects prefers-reduced-motion - Hand-pathed SVG chevron rotates 90° on expand - aria-expanded + aria-controls; content conditionally rendered so screen readers don't announce the collapsed setting - Two new tests: drawer collapsed by default, click expands and reveals the radios Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ships an Automator Quick Action bundled inside the .app's Resources
and an in-app Install button in the Advanced drawer that copies it to
~/Library/Services/. Once installed, "Compress with compress[pdf]"
appears at the top level of Finder's right-click menu — no more
nesting under Open With.
The workflow runs `open -b com.pdfcompressor "$@"` so the same
RunEvent::Opened handler that powers Open With and Dock drops also
catches Quick Action invocations. Backend wiring is purely the
installer; the compression code path is unchanged.
- resources/Compress PDF.workflow/ — static Automator bundle with
NSServices restricted to Finder + PDFs (filename avoids brackets
because Tauri's bundle.resources glob reads them as a character
class; user-facing menu label is set inside the bundle's Info.plist)
- quick_action.rs — install/is_installed/uninstall commands plus a
recursive directory-copy helper that wipes the destination first so
re-installing replaces stale files
- DetailPanel Advanced drawer — new row with status text ("Not
installed" in tertiary, "Installed" in accent blue) and a button
that toggles between Install/Remove with busy state and toast
feedback. Re-reads state every time the drawer opens.
- README — new Finder integration section documenting all three
entry points: Open With, Quick Action, drop on Dock icon

CI runs cargo clippy with -D warnings. The previous Finder integration work introduced two trivially-fixable lints: - compress.rs: hand-written `impl Default for Preset` is mechanically derivable — switch to `#[derive(Default)]` with `#[default]` on the Balanced variant. - headless.rs: a match arm with `(n, 0) if n == 1` is a redundant guard — collapse to `(1, 0)`.

Minor bump for the Finder integration release: - right-click → Open With → compress[pdf] - top-level "Compress with compress[pdf]" Quick Action (install via the in-app Advanced drawer) - drop PDFs onto the Dock icon - segmented-control settings UI with an Advanced disclosure Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds three new ways to compress PDFs without opening the app's main window — all routed through a single headless code path:
/Applications, via TaurifileAssociationsand aRunEvent::Openedhandler. The PDF is compressed with the saved Output, Naming, and Default-preset settings; no window appears; a native notification reports the result.Compress PDF.workflow) bundled in Resources; the in-app Install button copies it to~/Library/Services/. The workflow shellsopen -b com.pdfcompressor "$@"so it routes back through the same Apple Event.The right-click flow always writes a
_compressed.pdfsibling regardless of the in-app Overwrite setting — Finder context has no preview/confirm step, so it refuses to destroy originals.Also refactored the settings UI: stacked radios collapsed into segmented controls, and a new Advanced disclosure houses the Default preset (so the per-file Quality preset and the headless default don't visually collide).
