A calmer look throughout, twenty more themes, your GitHub profile beside your files, and file names in every script. Updating from 0.6.0 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.
- A calmer look: less chrome and colour, one set of controls in every bar, menu and dialog, and words where icons said too little; the path bar groups its buttons and folds its middle before it cuts names short, drives show how full they are, and a dialog's main action is the one filled button
- GitHub Profile: the account gh is signed in to, with followers, achievements, the year's contributions and what you did lately; the arrows open a commit's files, Enter its history in your clone, O the commit on GitHub
- Twenty more themes, dark and light, from Tokyo Night Moon to Pencil Light
- Names in Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Greek, Japanese, Korean and other scripts take their letters from the fonts your system already has, where they showed as boxes; a name of several right-to-left words still runs left to right
- Copy Path in the right-click menu puts a file's or folder's full path on the clipboard, and a click on the location in Properties copies the folder's
- Point at a folder and the first pictures in it fan out
- The filter glides the rows as it narrows them and lights the letters that matched
- A preview glows in its picture's colours, its five main colours copy with a click, Sort By Colour orders a folder by them, and the viewer opens out of the thumbnail
- The viewer lays one picture over another to wipe between them, with a filmstrip along its foot
- Sorted by date, the scrollbar marks the years and names the month while you drag it
- Folders take the colour of their label, themes wash in from where you picked them, popups are frosted, font files show in their own font, cut files march, tabs show a job's progress, and a rename that can't be done shakes and says why
- What's New stands over slow lights drawn in characters
Fixed
- Free up emptied what was trashed while it was open, never listed or counted; it now deletes only what it showed (#15)
- Send To Phone sent a folder's photos with their location even with "Leave out place and camera" on (#15)
- Emailing two photos with the same name sent the same picture twice (#15)
- A named pipe in a project, or as a README, held the line counter or the README reader for good (#15)
- A dock asking about Maia at login opened a window (#15)
- A "Show in folder" from another app that named another computer's file, or a path starting with --, was taken for a path or an option; it now names nothing
- Paths whose names are not UTF-8 open from the command line
- A network drive that stops answering no longer freezes the window from Properties, the path's folder list, a name clash or the preview's details
- The path's folder list opens at once in a folder of thousands of files, and the Timeline regroups tens of thousands without a stutter
- After the preview's ⋯ menu, Ctrl+A selects the preview's text again, not every file
- At large text sizes a toast no longer covers the log preview's filter field, and in narrow panels the find bar's buttons and the path bar's chevrons stay off what is beside them
Thanks
- To @avtak, for the five bugs in #15, each tracked down with care, and for #16, which showed how to answer FileManager1 without a window
- To @Borderliner, for #9 on Persian names and #13, which asked for Copy Path
- To @R0nov4, for #14 on Persian letters drawn as boxes
- To @C-I-T-C, for #12, which showed what right-to-left text needs from its fonts
Maia takes issues rather than pull requests, so these fixes were written anew, but each one started with you.
