Tabs and views

  • Tab and Shift+Tab now move between views in visual reading order, regardless
    of how the views were split, moved or swapped.
  • Group tabs : select tabs with Ctrl / Shift + click, then create a
    named group or add them to an existing one. Groups can be colored, renamed, collapsed and
    ungrouped.
  • Drag selected tabs and groups together to reorder them, move them to another
    view, split a view or detach them.
  • The tab bar can be hidden per view or by default. Ctrl+Shift+B toggles it for
    the active view; tab shortcuts remain available while the bar is hidden. #35
  • Ctrl+F opens the active view's search bar. Especially useful for Japanese in order to
    not lose the first keystroke. #44

Batch rename #34

  • Multi-selection now opens a batch rename preview from the context menu or
    the Rename shortcut. Supports a common name, text replacement, prefixes and
    suffixes, numbering, letter case and optional extension changes.
  • The preview catches naming conflicts before changing files. Extensions stay
    unchanged by default; renames that exchange names are supported without
    overwriting files. If a batch fails or is cancelled, Favnyr attempts to
    restore the original names and reports any item it could not restore.

Thumbnails and file operations

  • Choose an application now selects an app before launching it.
  • On Windows, the New submenu now includes file types registered by installed
    applications, using Windows' own document templates and creation commands.
    Supported templates and plain-text documents open the New file dialog before
    creation and select the new file afterward. Application assistants keep their
    native workflow. #41
    The list is cached after first use to avoid repeated loading on hover, and
    a dedicated checkbox in Settings can hide these registered file types.
  • Grid labels are left aligned. Long names keep their beginning visible across up to two
    lines. #40
  • Reopening a note on a file or folder now shows its existing text, ready to
    review or edit. #36
  • Fixed Search subfolders results remaining blocked after dragging a file
    outside the window. #37
  • Image thumbnails and reported dimensions now respect EXIF orientation,
    including rotation and mirroring, without changing the original file. #33
  • In List view with compact icons enabled, unsupported image formats keep a
    compact row instead of enlarging their application icon as a thumbnail. #43
    TypeScript .ts files no longer appear as videos. MPEG-TS media sharing the
    extension are recognized in the background when visible. #46
  • On Windows, simply opening a folder with online-only photos, for example in
    Dropbox, could previously cause them to be downloaded while Favnyr generated
    thumbnails. Favnyr makes no network requests itself, but reading such a photo
    can cause Windows to ask the cloud provider for its contents automatically.
    Favnyr now avoids these automatic reads for cloud files it recognizes as not
    fully available locally. The files remain visible with a cloud emblem;
    hovering over it explains why no thumbnail appears. You can still open or
    copy these files when you choose to.
  • Operation cards now keep the error details after a failed transfer or archive
    operation. When 7-Zip reports a problematic file, Favnyr identifies it.
  • Improved the reliability of Windows file drag and drop, including the
    Move/Copy/Link menu after a drop from File Explorer.

Linux desktop integration

  • Favnyr now declares the application ID used by its desktop launcher, so
    Wayland docks can match the running window to the installed Favnyr icon. #38
