Changing "Default Pinned Models" in admin settings had no effect for anyone who had already opened Open WebUI once. The sidebar copied the admin default into that user's own settings the first time it rendered and saved it to the server, which marked them as having customized their pins, so every later change to the default was ignored for them. Merely loading the page was enough, the user never had to touch a pin.
The default is now resolved for display only, through a shared store that falls back to the admin list while the user has no pins of their own, the same way default models already work. Nothing is written to the user's settings until they actually pin, unpin or reorder something, at which point their choice takes over for good. Unpinning everything still persists an empty list rather than snapping back to the default.
Users whose settings were already overwritten by the old behaviour keep that copy, since a stored pin list cannot be told apart from a deliberate one.
Fixes a drag-reorder path that mixed sidebar positions with stored ones, and stops the sidebar section reopening itself after any unrelated settings change.
* fix: show download preparation toast and prevent duplicate zip jobs
Downloading a file or folder from the file navigator gave no feedback while the server prepared the response, which can take 30 seconds or more for large folders that are zipped server-side. Users assumed the click did nothing and pressed Download again, starting additional zip jobs on the server. Both downloadFile and bulkDownload, the two functions every download control funnels through, now show a persistent "Preparing download..." loading toast while the request is in flight and dismiss it once the download starts or fails. A shared downloading flag makes repeated clicks no-ops until the current download finishes, so a single click starts exactly one server-side job. Fixes#27055
* fix: report terminal download failures instead of dismissing the toast
A failed download dismissed the preparation toast without saying anything, which reads as the download silently disappearing. Both download paths now report the failure. The two helpers also declare a nullable return but could still reject once the response body started streaming, so an interrupted transfer escaped as an unhandled rejection and left the same silent dismissal. They now return null in that case, which also stops an interrupted preview from leaving its spinner running.
The file picker and Files modal only render filenames and metadata, but
searchFiles()/getFiles() never passed content=false, so the backend
serialized data.content (full extracted text) of every file into each
response. On instances with many large documents this turns a metadata
list into tens of MB per request, re-issued on every picker keystroke.
The backend already supports content=false on GET /files/ and
GET /files/search; this just makes the list/search callers opt out of the
payload by default. The param stays overridable for callers that need it.
Fixes#25741
