Space used draws the disk as a map and says what grew, Jump takes you to the folders you use by a few letters, photos lie on a calendar by day, and files go to a phone through a code its camera reads. Updating from 0.5.0 shows What's New once, with a short film of the main ones. Anything with glibc 2.35 or newer runs it, on x86_64 and ARM64.
- Jump To Folder (Ctrl+G): the folders you go to, ranked by how often and how lately, found by a few letters of a name; with zoxide installed, its folders join in
- Space used lists a folder biggest first beside a ring, turns into a map of blocks with Tab, says what grew or shrank since an earlier count and sorts by that change
- Free Up Space: what could go to make room on a disk, from build output and download caches to thumbnails and the trash
- View Calendar (Shift+F3): a folder's pictures on the days they were taken; a click selects a day's pictures, Shift and the arrows a run of days
- Send To Phone: the selection on your network for five minutes, through a QR code the phone's camera reads; folders go as zips, and Maia says when the firewall keeps phones out
- Photos can be shared without their place: Email and Send To Phone send copies without the location and the camera's details, and the original stays as it was
- Paste From Earlier (Ctrl+Shift+V): the last nine sets copied or cut in the session
- A picture or text copied in another app pastes as a new file
- Transfers (Ctrl+Shift+J): pause a copy or move, start a waiting one now, drag them into another order, and answer a name clash inside its job
- Pin To Top keeps a file or folder first in its folder, and Pin Tab keeps a tab small at the left
- A folder's README in a card above its files; drag its edge to see more of it
- Where a download came from: the inspector names the site, and Group By Origin groups a folder by it
- The inspector counts a project's lines of code by language
- The Stack view (Ctrl+Shift+8): the items standing in a row, the one at the cursor turned to face you
- New interface icons, titles in a semibold, the same frame and footer on every dialog, and a sharper text renderer
- A new welcome over the whole window on a first start, and What's New in the same form
Fixed
- Renaming inside a zip locked with ZipCrypto rebuilds the archive: 7-Zip 26 left the renamed file unreadable
- Pictures read through ImageMagick 7.1.2 get their size again: it prints the size in a different place
- A List view squeezed very narrow no longer closes Maia
- The log filter and the preview's find field stay inside their bars, and a short preview's text stays above its find bar
- Compress stays in the menu and says when bsdtar is missing
- Maia hands freed memory back to the system when idle, and finds its fonts at startup in half the time
Thanks
To @avtak, for a careful review of 0.5.0's data safety and the fixes that came of it (#11, for #10), each with a test:
- Sync leaves out a folder it can't read and names it, where Mirror used to see it empty and trash its twin
- Syncing a folder with one inside it is refused
- Sync allows FAT's two-second times, so a USB copy isn't copied again on every sync
- A copy takes the SELinux label of where it lands, and a move keeps its own
- Merge sends the old file to the trash before the new one takes its place
- Saving from the preview keeps a file's line endings, and a symlink stays a symlink
- Archive entries with rooted names are refused, and 7z renames names with wildcards in them
- A name from an app's Save dialog stays inside the folder you chose
- rclone mounts show in the sidebar
