This is intended to be the last build before 1.0, picking up a few of the remaining little issues and annoyances.

Fixes for symlink-related crash bugs and improvements to sorting and the context menu are the order of the day.

A small bugfix release to fix an annoying crash bug that crept in with the last pre-release commit.

After a hiatus of a few months, Fileside is back with a vengeance, with what’s intended to be the last beta version before launching publicly. As such, it contains the feature set planned for version 1.0.

This release finally fixes some long-known bugs, and adds support for multiple Fileside windows.

Working with layouts is now less of a plight, thanks to bright-looking colours that seduce and delight.

A small update adding standard icons for each file and folder. And some bug fixes.

I’ve been cave diving for the last few weeks. Exploring the depths of a particularly ancient, largely abandoned cave, harbouring a bewildering array of monsters with names such as CF_HDROP, SFGAOF, DV_E_FORMATETC and PCZZWSTR. Throughout the centuries, they’ve also had pet names like pdsh, g_pszTarget and m_rgfe lovingly bestowed upon them, to further confound the novice explorer. Prying the secrets from their withered claws required many attempts and a host of different tactics.

This update involves a fundamental structural reorganisation of how the folder panes are put together. This was necessary in order to handle the viewing of large folders better.

This might seem like quite a disappointing minor update for such a long development period but in actual fact, it involved a huge amount of work to jig things around (or refactor them as it’s called in the land of software).

A key staple of any self-respecting file manager is copying and pasting.
