Details

New view: File Age Statistics

This shows the number of files per year and/or per month that were last modified in that year or month, together with the total size of those files and a percent bar for both (number and total size).

This view is extensively documented in the File Age Statistics Document.

Navigation History

This implements a navigation history for directories like in a web browser:

• New buttons Back / Forward in the tool bar

• Standard keyboard shortcuts [Alt] [Cursor Left] /
  [Alt] [Cursor Right] like in all common web browsers

• Support for Back / Forward mouse buttons if the mouse has them

• History menu on those buttons (long press on the buttons) for the last 16 directories

Bug Fixes

• Fixed GitHub issue #169:
  Shorten path components in the breadcrumb widget for insanely long paths.

• Now closing a left-over Permissions error panel when refreshing from disk: After the re-read, the permissions error may no longer be there.

Other Improvements

• In the Mounted Filesystems window, don't show inactive mounts managed by the automounter anymore.

• In the Open Directory window, automatically open the first directory level if a path was clicked in the Places list on the left, and scroll the tree on the right so that path is at the top.

• Added a little margin to the left in the main window's tree view for the Size column so it looks now less cramped.

• Internal restructuring and refactoring to keep the code maintainable.
