## Version 1.10.1
28+
29+
### Hotfix
30+
* Some users encountered an error in 1.10.0 while attempting to view their data in their ADLS Gen 1 accounts. This error prevented the explorer panel from rendering properly. This has been fixed. #1853 #1865
31+
32+
### New
33+
* Storage Explorer now has a dedicated Settings UI. You can access it either from Edit → Settings, or by clicking on the Settings icon (the gear) in the left-hand vertical toolbar. This feature is the first step we're taking towards providing a variety of [user requested settings](https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/labels/%3Abulb%3A%20setting%20candidate). Starting in this release the following settings are supported:
34+
* Theme
35+
* Proxy
36+
* Logout on exit #6
37+
* Enable device code flow sign-in
38+
* Auto refresh #1526
39+
* Enable AzCopy
40+
* AzCopy SAS duration
41+
If there are other setttings you would like to see added, please [open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/new?assignees=&labels=%3Abulb%3A%20setting%20candidate&template=feature_request.md&title=) describing the setting you want to see.
42+
* Storage Explorer now supports Managed Disks. You can:
43+
* Upload an on-prem VHD to a new Disk
44+
* Download a Disk
45+
* Copy and paste disks across resource groups and regions
46+
* Delete Disks
47+
* Create a Snapshot of a Disk
48+
The uploading, downloading, and cross-region copying of disks are powered by AzCopy v10.
49+
* Storage Explorer can now be installed via the Snap store on Linux. When you install via the Snap store, all dependencies are installed for you, including .NET Core! Currently we have verified that Storage Explorer runs well on Ubuntu and CentOS. If you encounter issues installing from the Snap store on other Linux distros, please [open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/new?assignees=&labels=snaps&template=bug-report.md&title=). To learn more about installing from the Snap store, see our [getting started guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/vs-azure-tools-storage-manage-with-storage-explorer?tabs=linux). #68
50+
* Two major changes have been made to attach with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) which are intended to make the feature more useful for ADLS Gen2 users:
51+
* You now select the tenant that the resource you are attaching is in. This means that you no longer need to have RBAC access to the resource's subscription.
52+
* If you are attaching an ADLS Gen2 Blob Container, you can now attach to a specific path in the container.
53+
* When managing ACLs for ADLS Gen2 files and folders, Storage Explorer will now show the friendly names for entities in the ACL. #957
54+
* When adding via OID to an ADLS Gen2 ACL, Storage Explorer will now validate that the OID belongs to a valid entity in your tenant. #1603
55+
* The keyboard shortcuts for navigating between tabs now use more standard key combinations. #1018
56+
* Middle clicking on a tab will now close it. #1348
57+
* If an AzCopy transfer contains skips and no failures, Storage Explorer will now show a warning icon to highlight that skips occured. #1490
58+
* The integrated AzCopy has been updated to version 10.2.1. Additionally, you can now view the version of AzCopy installed in the About dialog. #1343
59+
60+
### Fixes
61+
* Many users have run into various "cannot read version of undefined" or "cannot read connection of undefined" errors when working with attached Storage Accounts. Although we are still continuing to investigate the root cause of this issue, in 1.10.0 we have improved the error handling around loading attached Storage Accounts. #1626, #985, and #1532
62+
* It was possible for the explorer tree (left-hand side) to get into a state where focus would jump to the top node repeatedly. This has been fixed. #1596
63+
* When managing a blob's snapshots, screenreaders would not read the timestamp associated with the snapshot. This has been fixed. #1202
64+
* Proxy setting on macOS were not being set in time for the authentication process to use them. This has been fixed. #1567
65+
* If a Storage Account in a sovereign cloud was attached using name and key, AzCopy would not work. This has been fixed. #1544
66+
* When attaching via a connection string, Storage Explorer will now remove trailing spaces. #1387
67+
68+
### Known Issues
69+
* The Auto Refresh setting does not yet affect all operations in the Blob Explorer.
70+
* Managed Disk features are not supported in Azure Stack.
71+
* If a Disk upload or paste fails and a new Disk was created prior to the failure, Storage Explorer will not delete the Disk for you.
72+
* Depending on when you cancel a Disk upload or paste, it is possible to leave the new Disk in a corrupted state. If this happens, you either need to delete the new Disk, or manually call the Disk APIs to replace the contents of the Disk such that it is no longer corrupted.

74+
* When performing a non-AzCopy Blob download, the MD5 for large files is not being verified. This is due to a bug in the Storage SDK. [#1212](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1212)
75+
* When using RBAC, Storage Explorer requires some management layer permissions in order to access your storage resources. See the [troubleshooting guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-troubleshooting) for more info.
76+
* Detaching from a resource attached via SAS URI, such as a blob container, may cause an error that prevents other attachments from showing up correctly. To work around this issue, just refresh the group node. See #537 for more information.
77+
* If you use VS for Mac and have ever created a custom AAD configuration, you may be unable to sign-in. To work around the issue, delete the contents of ~/.IdentityService/AadConfigurations. If doing so does not unblock you, comment on this issue.
78+
* Azurite has not yet fully implemented all Storage APIs. Because of this, there may be unexpected errors or behavior when using Azurite for development storage.
79+
* In rare cases, the tree focus may get stuck on Quick Access. To unstick the focus, you can Refresh All.
80+
* Uploading from your OneDrive folder does not work because of a bug in NodeJS. The bug has been fixed, but not yet integrated into Electron. To work around this issue when uploading to or downloading from a blob container, you can use the experimental AzCopy feature.
81+
* When targeting Azure Stack, uploading certain files as append blobs may fail.
82+
* After clicking "Cancel" on a task, it may take a while for that task to cancel. This is because we are using the cancel filter work around described here.
83+
* If you choose the wrong PIN/Smartcard certificate, then you will need to restart in order to have Storage Explorer forget that decision.
84+
* Renaming blobs (individually or inside a renamed blob container) does not preserve snapshots. All other properties and metadata for blobs, files, and entities are preserved during a rename.
85+
* Azure Stack does not support the following features. Attempting to use these features while working with Azure Stack resources may result in unexpected errors.
86+
* File shares
87+
* Access tiers
88+
* Soft Delete
89+
* ADLS Gen2
90+
* Managed Disks
91+
* The Electron shell used by Storage Explorer has trouble with some GPU (graphics processing unit) hardware acceleration. If Storage Explorer is displaying a blank (empty) main window, you can try launching Storage Explorer from the command line and disabling GPU acceleration by adding the `--disable-gpu` switch:
92+
93+
```
94+
./StorageExplorer.exe --disable-gpu
95+
```
96+
97+
* Running Storage Explorer on Linux requires certain dependencies to be installed first. Check the Storage Explorer [troubleshooting guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-troubleshooting?tabs=1804#linux-dependencies) for more information.
