Changelog

Upcoming

Changes in the code that will go into the next release:

• Panel Content: a panel shows files, saved FTP/SFTP servers or SSH/Telnet terminals. You switch it with the icon button next to the path field, with Cmd+1–3 / Ctrl+1–3 and from the View, FTP/SFTP and Terminal menus. In the list, Enter connects or opens a terminal, and F4, F7 and F8 edit, add and delete entries.

• Disk space under the file list: a usage bar and the text “Used … of … (…%) · … free”; from 90% the bar turns red.

• Copying, moving, copying changes from the Search changes window, directory comparison and the Sync panel with the other panel button show a warning instead of an error when the other panel shows the server or terminal list.

• Faster checking of existing files and faster moving to another volume, e.g. to an SMB share.

• The server conversation in the connection and transfer windows shows long lines from the beginning.

1.0.0 — September 13, 2026

The first stable release.

• macOS: a signed and notarized FlyingFiles-1.0.0.dmg disk image on nci.pl.

• Windows: Microsoft Store.

• Compared with 0.2.0-beta.20, only the version number changed.

0.2.0 beta — September 8–11, 2026

A series of test versions of the new FlyingFiles, rewritten from scratch in C#.

beta.20 — September 11

• A package for Microsoft Store. The Store version updates through the Store and has no “Check for Updates...” command.

beta.19 — September 11

• Compressing a large file shows a progress window with a bar that moves while the file is being processed; Cancel works in the middle of a file.

beta.15–beta.18 — September 10

• The arrow keys in the preview (F3) browse the photos in the folder, and later also videos.

• Video preview: a frame from the video (macOS), resolution and length without loading the file, and the Open in the system player and Open With buttons.

• Round arrow buttons on the photo, and a “Loading…” label when reading is slow.

• A new File preview settings group: wrap-around browsing, and browsing photos and videos together.

beta.11–beta.14 — September 10

• The Row spacing setting; default font size 12 px and row spacing 4 px.

• The startup disk (Macintosh HD) in the macOS drive bar.

• The status bar at the bottom of the window replaced by messages in the window title.

• The Settings window no longer changes values by accident right after it opens; font size only within 8–32.

beta.9–beta.10 — September 10

• A favorite path to a disconnected network share connects the share first (macOS), with a new timeout setting.

• Copy link in the context menu; Copy name and Copy path in the statistics window.

• The favorite path dialog opens with the cursor in the Name field, and Add suggests the current folder.

beta.8 — September 9

• Opening 7z and RAR archives and single .bz2 and .xz files (read-only).

• A clearly highlighted default button in question dialogs.

beta.6–beta.7 — September 9

• Compress... in the context menu, and the Separate archives option.

• The right mouse button puts the cursor on the clicked row.

• The Settings window split into categories and scrollable; the version number in the window title.

• A link to the app's website in the About window; fixes to the look of buttons and lists.

beta.5 — September 9

• A .dmg disk image instead of a .pkg installer. The app installs itself in ~/Applications, so updates don't ask for an administrator password.

beta.1–beta.4 — September 8–9

• The first beta for macOS: Developer ID signature, Apple notarization, updates from the Help menu.

• The update channel on nci.pl.

0.1.0

The last version of the Python app. The new FlyingFiles takes over its settings file, saved connections and passwords.

Under consideration

Ideas with no dates and no promises: “back/forward” folder history, folder synchronization based on a comparison, a video player in the preview, browsing computers on the local network, saving 7z archives, your own editor for F4, refreshing the panels when you come back from another app.
