FinderFix Changelog

What's new in FinderFix 0.7.4 Beta

May 8, 2024
  • Double down on disk images (dmg and sparsebundle) size and position when they miss the mark.

New in FinderFix 0.7.3 Beta (Sep 10, 2023)

  • Change the Locale parsing algorithm to better identify language and region codes, making it flexible enough to distinguish between Portuguese (Portugal) and Portuguese (Brazil) and still robust enough for a fall-through when the operating system does not contain localizations for the specific region
  • Fix .DS_Store removal still running after checkbox has been unticked
  • Add optional system-wide removal of .DS_Store files in Home and Applications directories and subdirectories
  • Add "Go to Folder" (Shift-Cmd-G) to the exclusion list
  • Minimum OS requirements: 11.0

New in FinderFix 0.7.2 Beta (Feb 2, 2023)

  • A new switch allows to enable/disable the View settings pane (fixes issues #8 and #10)
  • Show Sidebar and Show Toolbar are automatically checked together when needed, exactly like Finder where the Sidebar is automatically hidden (and the menu bar option item to show it is grayed out) when the Toolbar is hidden
  • Minimum OS requirements: 10.15

New in FinderFix 0.7.1 Beta (Dec 27, 2022)

  • Adds a View settings pane (please consider it still experimental)
  • It currently allows to Show/Hide Sidebar, Toolbar, Path Bar, and Status Bar on newly opened windows
  • The Sidebar width can also be set precisely in pixels
  • An option to "Automatically remove .DS_Store files", deletes them as soon as they get created in the root folder of the Home and Applications directories, yielding more control to FinderFix
  • A "Relaunch Finder" push button allows to act on "recalcitrant" windows
  • An enhancement request for narrower Finder windows [#7] has been implemented to set the minimum window dimensions with each of the Sidebar, Toolbar, Tab Bar, Path Bar, and Status Bar hidden to 316 w x 300 h (291 by cheating with the menu bar)
  • Fixes the system error beep sound emitted when trying to move the caret with arrow keys inside the text fields

New in FinderFix 0.6.7 Beta (Sep 11, 2022)

  • A complete rewrite of the UI to make room for more settings
  • Distribute current settings over several Tab Views
  • Allow for more global shortcuts
  • Operation windows are now excluded from FinderFix control #3
