  • Improved scan performance of Sync-Diff substantially by offering options to utilize faster and cacheble file comparison methods.
  • Improved scan performance of Sync-Diff substantially on MsWin by inheriting write permissions only from destination directories.
  • Improved UI to first import and select any missing on disk files when moving or copying an incomplete AlphaNumeric series.
  • Improved UI to show multiple task progress indications.
  • Improved UI to show an error when an external program is needed but not installed on host OS to open a single file, for example .DJVU
  • Improved Rename File dialog to gray button when user typed name matches another file on disk.
  • Improved Selection right-click menu to indicate if all SHA1 calculations are ready.
  • Improved Sync-Diff file table right-click to show source and destination paths in a tip.

  • Fixed bug when searching for a solo '*' character.

New in Fileaxy 1.4.3 (Sep 15, 2020)

  • Changed file handling policy when file is not available. Now using any available duplicate content for opening or Presenter viewing. This general idea will be more fully implemented in future releases.
  • Implemented multi-term search results menu that groups results by number of literal quoted terms matched. Access this feature through file right-click and "Search by words", then look in results pop-down "Exactly Matching" submenu.
  • Implemented showing the median file size (not average) in dot extension Tally Reports.
  • Implemented a "Select Long Path" command button for files whose path is comprised of more than 255 characters. Can be useful for avoiding file handling problems on MsWindows.
  • Implemented reporting Mac resource fork file sizes in right-click menu on Mac platform.
  • Implemented hidden feature to append dot extensions onto multiply selected files. This was needed when working with older, no-dot extended Mac files when grouped by MIME type on Linux/MsWindows. Access with [ALT] Rename but know that there is no undo!
  • Fix for a UI blocking (tens of minutes on 2010 era hardware) window closure when approx. 30K+ files in any single series or when user trying to quit program in same situation.
  • Fixed obviously incorrect Similar results bug where too many non-similar viewable files were falsely considered 100% similar. The file "~/.fileaxy/argb-16.jobj" should be discarded so as to recreate a correctly rendered cache.
  • Fixed UI stopper bug when interactively looking for similar matches and all files failed to render, or had no preview, or none cached.
  • Fixed bug where right-click Refresh command on a single sub-Path incorrectly removes all unavailable files in Browser instead of just at that sub-Path and children.
  • Fixed bug where a checked [X] Inverse checkbox "Select Unique" did not select Non-unique files, i.e. those duplicated.
  • Fixed bug where cloning Browser with no selection emitted unnecessary, but attention requesting beep.
