✨ Features

Low level pinning UI is now replaced with import to Files (MFS) (#997):

This is the final part of the epic to bring remote pinning to GUI users.

The same import flow is applied to files that are already in IPFS, and ones that are not. After successful import, a link to the resource at a public gateway is copied for sharing, and the user can manage the imported item (rename, move, delete, set pinning) via Files screen in WebUI.

It removes the need for pinning UI in Companion itself: importing to Files (MFS) provides the same protection against garbage collection as low level local pins. It is executed via ipfs files cp command, which does not fetch any new data on top of what is already cached in local datastore. This means import of IPFS resources is always fast, even when importing a big directory.

We are aware this change will confuse existing users who are used to seeing low level pin controls there. Do not worry, you can still pin locally via Files screen using the revamped Set pinning context action.

The new flow aims to be more user-friendly, and work seamlessly with remote pinning UI added in webui v2.12 (already present in ipfs-desktop v0.15.0, will also ship with go-ipfs 0.9.0).
