What's changed in 2.6.2b6 (429)

  • On macOS 27 the Dock icon won't show "Running in Background" any more if the Hot Key is active (this also changes how the Hot Key is activated in macOS 13 and later: It's not visible in System Settings under Login Items & Extensions any more).
  • When using the Hot Key to open FAF, all windows will be brought forward if FAF was already running.
  • Icon view now shows the label color on items that have a Tag assigned.

What's changed in 2.6.2b4 (427)

  • Fixes another freeze related especially to iCloud files.

What's changed in 2.6.2b3 (426)

  • There should be no more freezes. Let me know if FAF locks up and you have to force-quit it!

What's changed in 2.6.2b2 (425)

  • Both the Delete and Trash commands now show a confirmation dialog unless it's only empty folders that get deleted or trashed.
  • If FAF is permanently added to the Dock, the Dock menu (right-click) now shows the icon chooser even if FAF isn't running (this used to work but broke a while back).
  • Fixes some translations, and replaces all the minus (-) chars with em-dash (—).
  • The rule "Enclosing folder names" has been renamed to "Any enclosing folder name" for clarity.
  • The hidden pref "View timeStyle" now allows the value 0 so that the time can be left out entirely from dates in the results.
  • More translatable items on the website now have a description. I can add more if you tell me which need more context.

What's changed in 2.6.2b1 (424)

  • Adds Croatian, Czech and Polish translations.
  • The Results window's Icon Preview now offers the option to reverse the sort order through the Sort By popup menu.
  • The app's icon is now back to the original icon, and I allow macOS to add a squircle frame as needed. You can still change how it appears in the Dock with a right-click there.
  • The Kind "Spreadsheet" now includes Libre Calc files.
  • Fixes some issues around obtaining permission for communicating with Finder.
  • Adds support for reading relative paths from .paths files (they're relative to the location of the .paths file's directory).
  • Changes the rule's title "Folder names" to "Enclosing folder names" to make it more self-explanatory.
  • The "Reveal in Finder" now attempts to open multiple items in a single Finder window using Tabs.
  • If both the Find and Result window are closed during a search, the search is now stopped internally.
  • NFS server volumes mounted with "auto_nfs" now show the correct volumes names in FAF's search location menu.
  • The "Delete Immediately" command won't remove items any more from the results if "Deleted Items Remain Visible" is checked.
  • Resolves an issue where searching entire volumes that are case-sensitive wouldn't find files if the name didn't match the entered case.
  • FAF won't get stuck any more if Spotlight was disabled entirely.
  • Fixes the font used for monospaced list items, such as dates.
  • Fixes an issue with the Rename command when entering text into the Filter field.
