Files 4.2​

What’s new in Files v4.2​

Tree View sidebar​

The sidebar now includes a new Tree View that displays your folders in an expandable hierarchy, making it easier to navigate deeply nested directories without leaving the current location.

Open With toolbar flyout​

A new Open With flyout has been added to the toolbar, giving you quick access to the apps that can open the currently selected file.


To enable the Open with… button:

1. Right-click the toolbar and select Customize toolbar.
2. Expand the Open group on the left.
3. Drag Open With… to the list of added toolbar items.

Drag a tab to create a new pane​

You can now open a second pane by dragging a tab. Drop the tab on the left or right side of the file area for a vertical split, or on the top or bottom for a horizontal split, making it even easier to work with multiple locations at once.

Open folders in the other pane​

A new Open in other pane action lets you open the currently selected folder in the other pane. This action is available when multiple panes are open in

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

mode and can be accessed from the right-click context menu and

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

. You can also assign it a keyboard shortcut from the

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

page in Settings.

Open in new pane improvements​

The

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

context menu entry has been reorganized to let you choose the arrangement of the new pane. This action is available when there is a single pane and can be accessed from the right-click menu and

. You can also assign it a keyboard shortcut from the

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

page in Settings.

Always show file extensions when renaming​

When you rename a file, the file extension is now always shown even when

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

is turned off in Settings. This allows users to easily edit file extensions, while at the same time keeping them hidden in the main file area.

Media file metadata improvements​

Editing media file metadata such as title, artists, album, year, and genre has been supported for a while, but until now you could only modify existing metadata. Starting with this release, you can also add metadata to fields that were previously empty.


Modifying album covers has been supported for a while as well. Starting with this release, we added support for removing existing album covers. To remove an album cover, click the thumbnail preview in the Details page in Properties and click Remove album cover.

Breadcrumb bar improvements​

The breadcrumb bar has picked up a few refinements in this release:

• A chevron is now shown after the last item in the breadcrumb bar for a more consistent look.
• Right-clicking a breadcrumb now shows context menu options to open the folder in a new tab, new window, or new pane.

Search in Toolbar Customization​

The Toolbar Customization window now includes a search box that filters the list of available items as you type, making it easier to find a specific action when you are customizing the toolbar.


To open Toolbar Customization, right-click the toolbar and select Customize toolbar.

Cycle layouts with the scroll wheel​

Ctrl + scroll on the file area already resizes items within the current layout. Starting with this release, once you reach the smallest or largest size, continuing to scroll now advances to the next

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

instead of stopping, letting you move between all layouts.

Reverse tab scroll direction​

A new setting under

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

lets you reverse the tab scroll direction when using the mouse wheel over the tab bar.

Improved tab tear off​

When you drag a tab out of the tab bar to create a new window, the new window now opens at the position where you dropped the tab.

Improved continue where you left off​

The startup behavior for

Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!

has been improved so that previously opened tabs are restored more reliably and in the correct order across sessions.

Network Discovery banner​

When Network Discovery is turned off in Windows, Files now displays a banner in the Network page letting you know that some network locations may not appear.

Other highlights​

• Items inside the Windows Fonts folder now show proper thumbnails, so you can preview a font’s appearance directly from the file list.
• Creating a new archive now automatically selects it.
• The File In Use dialog now includes a Skip button.
