What’s New

Tab Locking

Tabs can now be locked to a path by right-clicking the tab and selecting Lock Path from the context menu.

The tab will display a lock icon to indicate that it is locked. You can navigate to any folder under the locked path, but you cannot navigate to a location outside the path. Trying to navigate outside will open the new path in a new tab.

Other Changes

  • Close selection bar on pressing Esc key
  • Display directory entry size by default instead of item count
  • Added option in Settings to query subfolders
  • Fixed: Refresh remote folder after file operation completes
  • Fixed: Inverted mouse cursor was displayed for some cursor themes on KDE
  • Fixed: Thumbnail generation for GIF files
  • Fixed: Display context menu for devices in sidebar. Display device name in header.
  • Fixed: It was not possible to mount or browse LUKS-encrypted devices where the entire disk is encrypted instead of just partitions.
  • Fixed: Success message was displayed on unmounting a device even if the device could not be unmounted.
  • Fixed: Trash: Display columns for Trashed Date and Original Location
