fman 1.2.4

Version 1.2.4
August 24, 2018

• fman failed to start on some users' Windows system, because of a font-related error:
  Plugin 'Core' failed to load.
  
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fman\impl\plugins\plugin.py", line 124, in load
  File "fman\impl\plugins\plugin.py", line 133, in _load

  RuntimeError: Font 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\fman\Versions\1.1.8\Plugins\Core\Open Sans.ttf' could not be loaded.
  This is now fixed. As a side effect, fman's installation size was decreased by a few hundred KB.
• The

  lets you quickly swap the directories shown in fman's left and right panes. In recent fman versions, executing this functionality sometimes caused fman to freeze. This is now fixed.
• fman lets you edit the currently selected file with the shortcut F4. The first time you use it, fman asks you to configure which application should be used as the editor:
  
  
  
  The problem was, if the editor you selected was removed (eg. because you uninstalled it), then pressing F4 in fman resulted in an uninformative error message. This was improved so you now get a better explanation of what went wrong:
  
  
• Fixed a few behind-the-scenes exceptions.

fman 1.2.9

Version 1.2.9
September 5, 2018

• On every major OS, the clipboard has several "departments" (technically, MIME types). For instance, when you copy a picture, the "image data" department might contain the picture's pixels while the "file path" department might contain the image's file path.
  When you copied a file, fman used to overwrite two departments: the "file path" and the "plain text". This way, when you pasted in a text editor, the file' path would appear.
  A user pointed out that the plain text part should not be overwritten when copying a file in fman. This makes it easier to copy/paste a file and then rename it to a (copied) part of another file's name. To accomodate this, fman now only overwrites the "file path" part of the clipboard when you copy a file. The "plain text" is left intact.
• fman did not show symbolic links pointing to non-existing targets. This is now fixed.
• On macOS, applications are technically directories with the extension .app. When you "open" them in Finder, it launches the app instead of showing its directory's contents.
  Because fman is more targeted at developers, its default behaviour is to display the folder contents instead. However, this confused users who expected fman to behave in the same way as Finder. To avoid this, fman now shows a quick note about this the first time you open a .app:

fman 1.3.0

Version 1.3.0
September 7, 2018

• Dragging a file from your Desktop onto fman was broken on Windows in two ways:
  1. Explorer by default moves files, except when you press Shift. In that case, it copies them. fman had this the other way around, which clashed with a little symbol that's displayed when you drag the file.
  2. When you pressed Shift and dropped the file onto fman, it was actually moved to the Recycle Bin, not to the target directory. Obviously, fman itself does not "accidentally" delete your files when it is supposed to either move or copy them. This was caused by a

     .
• Since the previous release, fman treated symbolic links to directories as files. Note how in the following screenshot, the symlink has a size and is shown among the list of files, not at the top with the directories:
  
  
  
  This is now fixed.

September 27, 2018

• The

  used to be displayed in the lower left corner:
  
  
  
  This could lead to the file names being obscured. Now it's shown in the lower right corner:
  
  
• When you pressed Escape when the filter bar was visible, it disappeared but the files were still being filtered. There was no visual indication that this was the case. Now, the filter bar is always visible when filtering takes place.
• To clear the current file filter, you had to press Escape twice: The first stroke hid the filter bar, the second actually cleared the filter. Now, a single stroke hides the bar and clears it at the same time.
• Files used to be filtered by a prefix match: When you had the files A.txt and Project A and you pressed A, only the first file remained. Now, both files remain.
• fman now supports permanently deleting read-only files. Previously, you received the following error message:

fman 1.3.3

Version 1.3.3
October 4, 2018

• When you typed some characters so the filter bar appeared, then press Backspace to delete all of them again, an empty filter bar remained:
  
  
  
  This is now fixed (the filter bar disappears when there are no characters to be shown).
• When filtering was taking place, you could use the Arrow keys to move the (invisible) cursor. When you then pressed another character, it was inserted in the middle of the current filter, instead of at the end. This too is now fixed.
• A new command, GoToRootOfCurrentDrive on Windows now takes you to the root of the current drive. Its shortcut is Ctrl+\ (as in Total Commander).
• Decreased the size of the filter bar slightly, so it takes up less space.
  Before:
  
  
  
  After:
  
  
• Improved the layout of the filter bar on high DPI Windows devices.
  Before:
  
  
  
  After:
  
  
• fman's offline installer was broken on Windows 10. This is now fixed.
• Improved the matching of fman's GoTo command: Previously, it did not match well directories that contained the search string in the middle. For example, look how My-subdir was below an entry obviously far less relevant to the query:
  • ~/qt-opensource/qtvirtualkeyboard
  • ~/My-subdir
  Now it's above:
  • ~/My-subdir
  • ~/qt-opensource/qtvirtualkeyboard

fman 1.3.4

Version 1.3.4
October 10, 2018

• The shortcut F11 copies the paths of the currently selected files to the clipboard. This is useful, for instance when you want to paste these paths into a Terminal for further processing.
  Up until now, pressing F11 while inside an empty directory resulted in a not very helpful alert:
  
  
  
  At the suggestion of a user, fman now instead copies the path of the empty directory.
• Fixed a small but crucial bug in the
  Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!
  : It did not notice when you had successfully invoked GoTo. This meant that many new users have been unable to complete the tutorial.
• Made the first behind-the-scenes changes for an upcoming release of fman on Fedora Linux.

fman 1.3.5

Version 1.3.5
October 16, 2018

• fman is now available on Fedora Linux! Please see
  Zaloguj lub Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć!
  for details.
• Improved the accessibility of quicksearch dialogs such as GoTo and the Command Palette: Previously, screen readers only read out "Row 1", "Row 2" etc. for the suggestions in the dialog. Now they read out the actual item text. Eg., in the following GoTo dialog:
  • ~/Downloads
  The screen reader will now read out "Downloads" instead of "Row 1".
• When you drag a file, the operating system displays either a "+" to indicate that it will be copied, or a different symbol to indicate that it will be moved. Which of the two operations is performed depends on the keys you press (if any) while dragging the file. On Linux, Control and Alt switch from the default behaviour of moving to copying.
  fman had the default behaviour wrong on Linux. (It copied by default and moved when you pressed Shift.) This is now corrected.
• When you copy or move a directory over an existing folder with the same name, fman asks for each file whether you want to overwrite it:
  
  
  
  In some cases, the Abort button had no effect (fman kept showing you the above dialog for further files.) This is now fixed.

. Initially, it only displayed files that begin with what you typed. So for example when you typed project, it displayed Project/ but not Another Project/. Some users

this behaviour (they want Another Project to be displayed as well). So fman's implementation was changed to do this:

But then, another user rightly

that when you type project, you usually want to open Project and not Another Project. fman now accommodates this by placing the cursor at the first prefix match in the remaining files:
