DSH File Drop Attachments
A persistent DSH Web plugin that keeps native image previews and renders non-image drops as file attachments.
Features
- PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF files stay in the native image preview rail.
- Missing image MIME types are recovered from the file extension.
- Other dragged or pasted files are rendered as compact attachment cards with filename, extension, vector type icon, and remove action.
- When the browser hides the source path, the Host matches a unique workspace file by name, size, and SHA-256 content before using its real path.
- Files outside the workspace fall back to a local copy under
~/.dsh/file-drop-attachments/ and are explicitly marked 副本 in the card and [附件副本] in model text.
- Fallback uploads are same-origin, filename-sanitized, session-isolated, and limited to 64 MiB per file.
- Draft attachments are retained per session while switching conversations.
- Historical durable image refs are sent as an extension-bearing cache alias under
%DSH_HOME%\file-drop-attachments\image-cache\... instead of repeated image bytes; the alias is a hard link to %DSH_HOME%\attachments\v1\objects\... when supported, and images in the unresolved current request suffix remain native image content.
- The plugin is mounted by the profile startup composition.
Compatibility
Verified against both client-runtime generations:
- DSH
0.1.0-rc.6 (web profile): the composer was a <textarea> inside [data-input-scroll].
- DSH
0.1.2-rc.1 (desktop profile): the composer is a contenteditable Lexical editor inside the same region, and the send affordance is the primary-action button. Opening a card uses remote.session.openWorkspacePath, falling back to the older workspaces.openPath.
sessionId is a standard prop of session-scoped slots in both generations — dsh-client-web-react set it explicitly in 0.1.0, and dsh-client-ui-session's builtin source provides props: ["sessionId"] in 0.1.2. The plugin also passes it through its own inject(sessionId), which spreads the same value and survives a runtime that stops providing it.
IME discipline
inputActions.setDraft is not a text edit: the host clears the draft, rebuilds it, and parks the caret at the end. Running that rewrite during an IME composition commits the pre-edit text and selects it, so the next keystroke replaces the character the user just typed. Every plugin-owned draft write therefore goes through the composition gate:
whenIdle for bookkeeping writes (the sentinel that keeps the send affordance live).whenSettled for the submit-time write, which also re-checks at fire time so a composition opening in between is never written into.- Enter during a composition is never claimed: the plugin declines the key and leaves the candidate window to the IME.
Cmd/Ctrl+Enter keeps the composer's own submit mode; the plugin only folds the attachment lines in and lets the composer send.
Install
The repository ships the prebuilt client bundle, so a GitHub source install is enough. One command installs the plugin and mounts it into the profile:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:dsh-plugins/dsh-file-drop-attachments
The command forwards to pnpm inside the profile directory and then reconciles dsh.profile.bundles against the installed state. This package declares dsh.bundle.patch (cordis.patch.yml), so the resolved dependency joins the bundle stack and the profile boot mounts it — no profile file is edited by hand. Restart DSH Web afterwards so the Host and Client plugin graph is rebuilt.
To install a local checkout while developing:
git clone https://github.com/dsh-plugins/dsh-file-drop-attachments.git
dsh plugin --profile web add file:./dsh-file-drop-attachments
To remove it:
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-file-drop-attachments-persisted
Migrating a hand-mounted profile
Earlier revisions were mounted by hand: a link: dependency in the web profile plus a file-drop-attachments insert row in the profile's own cordis.patch.yml. Delete that insert row, then switch to the bundle channel — with the manual row still present the plugin mounts twice (two Host halves, two composer rails):
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-file-drop-attachments-persisted
dsh plugin --profile web add github:dsh-plugins/dsh-file-drop-attachments
Offline install
For a machine without git access, unpack the repository anywhere and run the bundled installer. It copies the files under $DSH_HOME/plugins, links that copy from the web profile, registers it in dsh.profile.bundles, drops a legacy hand-written mount row if one is present, and then runs the profile's package manager:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ./install.ps1
Restart DSH Web afterwards, exactly as with the dsh plugin path. Add -NoInstall when the dependency is already linked and only the files and the profile registration need refreshing.
