What's changed in 2.5.5b10 (406)

  • Fixes the SSH setup (Pro option) again.

What's changed in 2.5.5b9 (405)

  • The SSH setup (Pro option) should not fail any more if the server account uses an unusual shell like `fish`.
  • Scripts now use Lua 5.4.7 (before: 5.4.4).

What's changed in 2.5.5b8 (404)

  • The "secret" setting for calculating all folder sizes (by clicking the "Calculate …" preferences with holding the Option key) has been disabled. Instead, there's a new "Calculate folder sizes" rule now. This change was made to make it more apparently when this option is in use, because it significantly slows down every search.
  • The Results window now shows the total size of all shown items (if none are selected) at the bottom left.
  • The rule "Trashed contents are exclusively shown" is now much faster, because it will only look into Trash folders, not anywhere else. Please test this and let me know if you see items in your Mac's Trash that FAF doesn't find with this rule (especially if you seach "on local disks").
  • Fix: Trashed items on local volumes other than the startup volume are now found - no need to use root ("Find All") any more.
  • Fix: The "are exclusively shown" rules were not working with Pro license.
  • When using scripts that run in the background (async), such as "Duplicates", they can now be stopped with the Stop button without FAF freezing up.
  • Fixes the "Is empty directory.lua" script so that it doesn't consider inaccessible folders empty any more.
  • The "Parent folders of matched items" script can now run faster (please re-install if you're using it).

What's changed in 2.5.5b7 (402)

  • Fixes an occasional freeze after deleting or moving found items.
  • The "Open With" submenu is can now be sorted by holding down the cmd key.
  • The result window title is now vertically separated from the toolbar again on recent macOS versions.
  • Adds scripting callback function "enteringDirectory" for better control over all searches directories.

What's changed in 2.5.5b6 (401)

  • Fixes a rare crash when searching network volumes, especially on Windows servers.
  • Fixes an issue where some files where not found by Spotlight if the names' case didn't match.

What's changed in 2.5.5b5 (400)

  • Fixes a crash introduced in the previous beta that occured when starting a search with a numeric or date input.

What's changed in 2.5.5b4 (399)

  • Fixes a crash introduced in the previous beta that occured after performing a text content search.
  • Fixes incorrect search results with Korean file names (e.g. search for 소녀 found 소년).

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").
  • Smaller app icons led to a slightly smaller app.

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".
