Two lanes merging

Release notes 1.3.2

By Erik Jälevik on 28 July 2021

When there are conflicts during file transfers, you now have the option to overwrite only if the source file is newer than the corresponding destination file.

Improvements

New merge strategy: Overwrite if newer

When trying to copy or move into a destination folder where some items with the same names already exist, there is now one more option to choose from: Overwrite if source file is newer.

It will only overwrite a conflicting file if the source version was modified more recently than the version in the destination folder.

Redesigned conflict resolution dialog

To make it a bit clearer what the different merging options are, each one now comes with a little diagram.

The option you used last will also be remembered.

A few performance & visual tweaks

Scrolling large listings with the arrow keys should now feel a bit snappier. Transfers of large files too.

On the visual side, the theme colours have been tweaked slightly to enhance the colour coding of the source and target files in the conflict dialog.

Bug fixes

Target file(s) did not get selected after copy/move

This broke with the 1.3.1 release; it now works again.

Undoing compress/extract could delete the wrong file

Undo didn’t always work after compressing or extracting an archive; it now does.
