# Folders and the library (redesign)

## Folders everywhere: tags shown as filter chips

One idea of a folder for every area — Bücher, Zeitschriften, Hörbücher,
Podcasts, Blogs (and the news' Ressorts, which already work this way):

- A thing can be in **several folders** (they work like tags); none is fine.
- Folders are **filters**, not rooms: a row of chips on top —
  `Alle · <folder> n · … · Ohne Ordner` — tapping one filters in place; no
  "inside a folder" view, no back button. On a wide window the row wraps.
- **Assigning**: mark one or more things (long press / ☐ select mode, or ⋮ on
  one), then "In Ordner …": a sheet with every folder of the area as checkboxes
  and "Neuer Ordner". No typing a name that must match.
- **Managing** (⋮ on the chip row → "Ordner verwalten"): rename, merge (rename
  onto an existing name), delete (the things stay, only the folder goes),
  reorder by dragging. The order is the chip order.
- **Automatic groups** stay automatic and look different from folders (no
  chip; a stack/group heading): audiobook series, magazine periodicals.

### Where folders are kept

| Area | Field | Notes |
|------|-------|-------|
| E-books, magazines | encrypted meta `folders: [names]` | `folder` (the first) kept for older clients; read `folders` or else `[folder]` |
| Audiobooks, podcasts | `PodcastFeed.folders` (JSON list) | feed setting `folders`; `folder` (string) still accepted |
| Blogs | `Source.folders` (exists) | |
| News | `Source.category` (one Ressort) | already chips in Nachrichten |

The folder order per area: e-books in the encrypted user settings blob (names
are private), the others on the server (`/podcasts/folders/`, `/feeds/folders/`,
`{order: [names]}`).

### Shared code: `static/js/folders.js` (diora-web, every platform)

```
DioraFolders.chips(el, {folders: [{name, count}], active, none: count|0, onPick(name|''|null), onManage()})
DioraFolders.assign({title, folders: [names], selected: [names], onDone(names)})     // the sheet
DioraFolders.manage({folders: [names], onRename(old, new), onDelete(name), onOrder(names)})
```
Each area keeps its own storage and calls these for the look and the dialogs.

## The library (Bücher, Zeitschriften)

- **Header**: title, search (title, author), sort (zuletzt gelesen · Titel ·
  Autor · hinzugefügt), ⊞/☰ grid or list, `+` (Buch hinzufügen, Aus Cloud).
- **Filter chips**: Alle · Angefangen · Ungelesen · Gelesen — then the folders.
- **Weiterlesen**: one card on top (cover, title, "Seite 132 von 186 · gestern",
  ▶), not repeated in the list below.
- **Grid** (default on phone and desktop): covers with a progress line, title.
  **List** (default on e-ink / diora Reader): one row per book, small cover,
  title, author, % / ✓.

### Covers, end-to-end encrypted

A client that has a book's file extracts its cover (EPUB: the OPF cover image;
PDF: page 1), scales it to 240 px wide JPEG, **encrypts it with the user's key**
(AES-GCM like the meta) and uploads it once: `POST /books/<id>/cover/
{cover_ct, cover_iv}`. `GET /books/` lists `has_cover`; `GET /books/<id>/cover/`
returns `{cover_ct, cover_iv}`. Clients cache the decrypted image locally. The
server never sees a cover.
