Changelog

June 5, 2023

v 2.4.1

v2.4.1:
• Fixes a crash when searching certain (network or encrypted) volumes

v2.4 (released June 1, 2023):
• The rule "Name ends with" now excludes the extension, so that “Name ends with pies” finds a file named “Recipies.txt”.
• The “Path” rule now matches on the entire path, not just on the item's enclosing path any more.
• The rule “Kind is not Video” does now correctly exclude video files.
• The search rules have been re-arranged and modernized.
• Fixes issues with searching Google Drive.
• When choosing the iCloud folder as a search location, FAF will search all iCloud related application folders, not just the "iCloud Drive" folder.
• Searching a folder (instead of entire volume) now properly skips excluded folders again.
• When performing another search while looking at the results of a previous search, the new Results window won't pop up in front any more.
• Improvements to displaying results in Dark Mode.
• The menu bar now offers a "Join Beta Program" command, for getting access to pre-releases of FAF in the future, via Apple's TestFlight program.
• The purchase date in the About window is now shown correctly.
• Issues with the Toolbar in the Results window have been fixed. Now you can choose to show the smaller icons or the wider text labels. To do that, ctrl-click into the toolbar to customize it, and drag the desired toolbar items in or out.
• Determining the Finder selection doesn't stall FAF any more (this used to happen whenever FAF was activated).

v 2.3.2

• Searching on new version of Google Drive is possible now.
• The toolbar options for "Invisibles", "Package Contents" and "Trashed" are now using symbols instead of text in order to use up less space. If you hover over the symbols with the mouse, you can still read their meanings.
• Results now show the file names as they appear in Finder, including translated names and hidden extensions. To see the original (native) file name, use the View menu command "Show Untranslated File Names".
• You can't accidentally choose single keys as Hot Keys any more, unless you also press cmd (⌘), option (⌥) or ctrl. Though F-keys can still be used without modifiers.
• Fixes all reported crashes, freezes and issues.
