What's changed in 2.5.5b3 (398)

  • The search operations were changed significantly. If something doesn't work in search as it used to, let me know.
  • Fix: Find menu's "Add Rule (Above)" (cmd-option-+) works again.
  • The text in the About window can now be selected and copied for your convenience when reporting issues.
  • Improves setup and search with the Windows program Everything on PCs (FAF now attempts to auto-detect the "Path von Server").

What's changed in 2.5.5b2 (397)

  • Fixes some issues with the newly introduced option to use times (hours/minutes) with date searching rules.
  • Fixes an issue where "Text content doesn't contain" found the wrong files if Spotlight was enabled in FAF's Preferences.
  • Improves the "Duplicates.lua" script, such as not stopping when an inaccessible file is encountered and listing the duplicate files by groups in the log file.

What's changed in 2.5.5b1 (395)

  • New: Dates in rules can now include the time for higher precision. Right-click onto a date rule to show or hide the time (hours & minutes), or use the Find menu.
  • Fixes an issue where the entire /Users was skipped when searching the startup disk with the option to show all Folder sizes was active or when certain scripts were used that forced a recursive directory scan.
  • Now shows a notification when search for content skips "offline" (dataless) files.
  • When saving the Results, you can now choose to write the file in JSON format instead of the .paths format.
  • Selecting the search location pop-up with the Enter or Return key works again.
  • The Find window's title now shows the first rule's summary. And since the Results window does already do the same, the Find and Results windows now use a small prefix, i.e. a loupe symbol and a folder symbol, to tell them apart in the Window menu.
  • When searching for inodes (see expert rules), they're now also found if they're related to hard links.
  • Relabels "neither of" into "none of".
