I just upgraded from a relatively old version of archivebox (v0.7) and I am not a fan of the new UI. Is there a way I can switch back to the old layout. I found it a lot more intuitive and information dense.
EDIT: To be more specific with my feedback, in the new UI the 'FILES SAVED' column is not showing anything for all of the previous entries I'd made in v0.7. Can this be fixed? It's a huge setback and makes the v0.9 layout unusable.
Absolutely can definitely fix this relatively quickly, a few questions:
- did you do the full filesystem migration yet with `archivebox update --migrate-only`?
- what OS and screen size are you viewing on? and are you looking at the admin snapshot list or the public snapshot list?
- is it just the compactness of the old emoji icons on one line you preferred? or something more than that? the reason we changed it is because we have 20+ more icons now, so it no longer fits on one line easily and we cant easily represent every plugin with only common emoji
If you're able to share one of your old snapshot folders in a new Github issue that would be super helpful as then I can reproduce what you're seeing quickly.

Ok I was missing this step. I did a migration with the command you shared and I now see the icons.
But while I can see the icons, I can't access the relevant files, the links are broken. As an example, the singlepage icon leads me to a path that is correct except for the .html in the URI.

Yes, I still prefer the previous one-line rendering. It is more compact and less busy. For my own personal use-case, I don't care for majority of the archive options.
I understand that you had to switch to a different layout given you now have 20+ icons but if there's a way I can hack it to look like the old layout that would be great. Maybe a config setting that allows power users to specify what actually shows up.

Ubuntu 24 and 1080p screen
If there is no easy fix for the broken links let me know. I'm more than happy to continue this conversation on a github ticket.
Fixed on dev and rolling out now. I didnt remove the preview images completely but I made it all significantly more compact. Down to 1 line with colorized icons for the most important outputs.
