Release notes 1.1.1

By Erik Jälevik on 19 October 2020

Whenever you release new features, there’s usually a few Gremlins hiding within them who don’t reveal themselves fully until after release. Fileside 1.1 was no exception. This bugfix release takes care of them.

Improvements

Allow more keys in type-to-jump

Backspace previously didn’t work when typing to jump to a file. Furthermore, on Windows, backspace is the shortcut for going to the parent folder, so this got pretty annoying pretty quickly. Backspace, along with shifted characters can now be used when typing to jump as well.

Bug fixes

Prevent space from triggering Quick Look during type-to-jump

Typing a space when searching for a filename on the Mac no longer triggers Quick Look.

Removed unnecessary error dialogs

1.1 tightened up the error handling within Fileside. Turns out it got a little bit too tight, and sometimes an error dialog would be shown for a totally benign error condition. Those have now been omitted again.

Fixed Duplicate command

This got broken somewhere along the way and threw an error in 1.1.

The plan for Fileside 2

Over the past year I’ve had a steady stream of emails asking if a Fileside version 2 is coming. One even wondered whether the project is still being maintained. The short answer is yes. Fileside 2.0 is deep in…

Four weeks of voice computing - here's what I learnt

After a recent flare-up of RSI-related wrist pain, I decided to make a serious attempt at becoming proficient at speech computing. My hope was to be able to add an alternative input method in order to offload my hands, and allow them some rest even during my daily work. I’m now four weeks in and this post summarises my impressions. The journey has had its fair share of frustrations, but also brought some surprising insights.

Full Disk Access - what is it and what does it do?

A quick search for “Full Disk Access” reveals plenty of results, although some are misleading if not outright dishonest. Many come from application vendors suggesting that if we don’t grant their Mac apps Full Disk Access, they might not work as intended. In fact, the vast majority of applications should have no reason to need Full Disk Access.
