Release Notes
Summary: Navigator performance improvements, generated thumbnails, extension themes, printing, file previews, new shortcuts, address editor improvements, status center redesign, and tab/navigation polish.
Printing
Print selected files directly from the navigator using the context menu, actions menu, or
Ctrl+O.- Supported formats: images, PDF, text formats;
- Quick exit: close the print view with
Escape;
File Drop To Tabs
Drag files or directories onto tabs to move or copy them into another tab's directory.
- Drop target tabs: tabs become drop targets while dragging files in the navigator;
- Hover activation: hovering over a tab while dragging can switch to that tab before dropping;
- Split tabs: directory tab groups keep their normal drop behavior while preserving split-view tab structure;
File Preview In Info Panel
The info panel can now preview all Quick View-supported file types, not just images and videos.
- Media previews: images use generated thumbnails, videos and audio include native controls, and PDFs render inline;
- Text previews: text files show a compact decoded preview with a safe size limit;
- Fallbacks: unsupported files and folders keep simple icon placeholders;
Navigator List Columns
List view has more optional columns and better inline metadata control.
- Created column: show and sort by creation date;
- Tags column: show tags directly in list view and add, remove, or edit tags from the column;
Extensions
App Themes From Extensions
Extensions can now contribute full app color themes. Installed theme extensions appear in the theme selector.
Icon Themes From Extensions
Extensions can now contribute navigator icon themes for folders and files.
- Separate choices: choose folder and file icon themes independently in
Settings > UI appearance > Icon Theme; - Built-in and extension themes: use the built-in default/system icon themes or any enabled extension-provided theme;
- Theme matching: contributed themes can define icons by file extension, file name, folder name, and expanded folder state;
New Settings
- Bold active tab text: make the active tab title bold (
Settings > Tabs > Tab appearance > Bold active tab text);
New Shortcuts
- Toggle split view (
Ctrl+S): show or hide split view in the navigator; - Restore closed tab (
Ctrl+Shift+T): restore the most recently closed tab group; - Create file / directory (
Ctrl+Shift+M/Ctrl+Shift+N): create a new file or directory in the current directory; - Print selected file (
Ctrl+O): print the selected file; - Open copied path (
Ctrl+Shift+V): open a valid path from the clipboard; - Switch pages (
Alt+1-Alt+5): switch between Home, Navigator, Dashboard, Settings, and Extensions; - Navigate directory history (
Alt+Left/Alt+Right): go back or forward in navigator history; - Navigate to parent directory (
Alt+Up): go to the parent directory; - Mouse history buttons (
Mouse Button 4/Mouse Button 5): navigate back and forward with mouse side buttons;
UX Improvements
Large Directory Performance
Navigation, quick search, and media-heavy folders are more responsive and use less memory.
- Generated thumbnails: image and video thumbnails are generated at smaller sizes instead of loading full media into every file card;
- Progressive images: grid image cards can show a blurred low-resolution thumbnail before the final thumbnail is ready;
- Thumbnail cancellation: thumbnail generation can be cancelled when the folder or visible entries change;
- Rendering performance: large directory entries use more efficient rendering and Quick View uses generated thumbnails with a virtual list;
Quick Search
Quick search now has 2 modes: passive and active:
- Passive mode: acitvates automatically when you start typing. It filters entries without focusing search input and doesn't prevent navigation.
- Active mode: activates with
Ctrl+F. It focuses search input and prevents navigation but allows more fine-grained control over entered query.
Other changes:
- Type to filter: typing alphanumeric keys now always starts quick search (passive mode) in the active pane;
- Keyboard navigation: the first matching item is auto-selected;
- Popover design: the quick search popover is more compact and avoids covering directory items;
Address Editor
The address editor can now be used as a broader path launcher.
- Files and directories: open files as well as directories from the address editor;
- Frequent paths: switch to a mode focused on quickly opening frequently used paths;
- Suggestions: browse directory entries, exact matches, recent paths, tagged items, user folders, and system drives;
- Keyboard actions: navigate backward, forward, upward, and reveal an entry in its parent directory from the editor;
Status Center
The status center is now a compact toolbar widget with clearer operation groups.
- Active count: the toolbar button expands into a pill that shows active operation count;
- Operation groups: active and completed operations are separated, with completed operations in a collapsible section;
- Cancel all: cancel active operations in parallel from the section header;
- Job cards: operation cards show clearer type and status labels such as
Copy | SuccessorArchive | Error; - Clipboard recovery: paste clears the clipboard as soon as a job is queued and restores it if the job fails;
Navigation And Tabs
Navigator movement and tab behavior are more predictable.
- Sidebar drives: clicking a drive in the navigation sidebar opens it in the current tab;
- Current directory: the current address part is more pronounced, and its context menu opens from right click on the last address part;
- Closed tabs: restored tabs return to their previous position, preserve renamed paths, and redirect deleted paths to home;
- Responsive layout: toolbar navigation buttons collapse earlier, split-view address bars move to a second row in very narrow panes, and compact tabs keep consistent height;
Shortcut Management
Shortcut editing now handles conflicts and customization more clearly.
- Multiple bindings: assign multiple shortcuts to one action;
- Unassigned shortcuts: unassign shortcuts;
- Conflict replacement: replace a conflicting shortcut directly from the conflict prompt;
- Shortcut list menu: manage shortcuts from a context menu in the shortcuts list;
Drag-and-drop
Allow to start outbound drag by switching apps. Now files can be dragged out with Alt+Tab (not only by cursor leaving window);
UI Improvements
- Selection ring: improved navigator selection ring opacity, offset, pane-header styling, and keyboard focus behavior;
- Tab bar: improved tab bar styles and active tab readability;
- Theme selection: improved theme selection design;
- Quick access: refined quick access panel styling;
- Splash screen: added an app splash screen during startup;
- Popover visibility: improved visibility for translucent popover elements;

- Keyboard scrolling: fixed the issue with the first row hiding behind the sticky header;
- Startup freeze: fixed rare multi-minute startup freezes on Windows caused by slow synchronous system calls during startup and update checks;
- Archive extraction: preserved Unix file modes when extracting archives;
- Extension HTTP: restored permanent non-2xx response handling and made retry waits cancellable;
- Command palette: fixed the command palette toolbar button when its shortcut is customized;
- Grid range selection: fixed range selection in grid view selecting entries outside its scope;
- Context menus: fixed selected-item and current-directory context menus staying open after action clicks;
- Shortcut registration: fixed shortcut registration errors after window reload;
- Theme application: fixed selected themes not applying in all windows;
- macOS moves: fixed cross-volume move handling on macOS and enabled bundle targets;

- FTP: share files over FTP for direct access from other apps. You can both download and upload files from and to the computer from other device;
Quick Access Menu
The "Dashboard" button in the sidebar now acts as a quick access menu. Hovering over it opens a panel showing your Favorites and Tagged items.
All items in the panel are real directory entries - you can drag and drop items in and out, open context menus with right click, and perform any standard file operations.
Can be disabled in
Settings > UI appearance > Open quick access panel on hover.Zip Archives
Compress and extract zip archives directly from the file browser actions menu:
- Extract: extract a
.zipfile to the current directory or to a named folder; - Compress: compress selected files and directories into a
.ziparchive;
WSL Drives Detection
On Windows, the app now automatically detects installed WSL distributions and displays their drives in the navigator, allowing you to browse WSL file systems natively.

Info
This app is primarily developed for Windows because it has the largest user base. The Linux builds get a lot less development time. They are less stable and have more issues. When this project has enough supporters, I will be able to spend more time on Linux builds.
Windows | Installation notes
It's recommended to install the app via the Microsoft store.
If you decide to install theInstallable file (.exe)instead, you might see a security warning during installation. If you see the warning prompt, click "More Info" and then "Run Anyway".Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | Installation notes
