FileBo Changelog

Stay up to date with the latest features, improvements, and fixes in FileBo.

v1.1.2

New

  • Rename files and folders right in FileBo — Press Enter (or F2) on a selected tile and the name opens for editing in place. It comes up selected without its extension, so typing replaces the name and the extension stays put — Esc steps back, clicking away keeps what you typed. A renamed item rises to the top of the list, and the selection and the view follow it there.
  • Opening a file now lives on ⌘↓ — Enter used to be a second shortcut for opening; it now starts a rename, the way Finder works. ⌘↓ opens the selected file exactly as before, and Space still gives you Quick Look.

Improvements

  • The window is there the instant you press the shortcut — FileBo now does its heavy indexing work off to the side, so the panel opens immediately even while thousands of files are being catalogued in the background — including large cloud folders syncing.
  • The panel opens where you are — It now appears on the desktop you are currently working on, including over a full-screen app.

v1.1.1

New

  • FileBo now speaks German, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian — The whole app is translated — every screen, menu, hint and dialog. Pick your language in Settings ▸ General; it changes right away, no restart.

Improvements

  • Switch language without restarting — “System” follows your Mac, or you can pin FileBo to one language regardless of what the rest of the system does. Windows and menus follow along the moment you choose.
  • Easier to read, in either appearance — A visibility pass over the interface: highlighted words, coloured accents and small labels now hold their contrast on a bright background as well as a dark one, so nothing fades into the surface behind it.

v1.1.0

New

  • Release notes, right in the app — After every update FileBo shows you what changed. You can open it any time from Help ▸ What's New, from the ⚙︎ menu in the window footer, or from the menu-bar icon.

Improvements

  • A cleaner light theme — A full contrast pass over Light Mode: badges, the trial pill, folder-access labels, volume tiles and the review stars all read more clearly on a bright background. Dark Mode keeps the look you know.
  • Search speaks your keyboard's language — The search field follows the input source you've selected, so Russian, Ukrainian, German and other layouts type through exactly as you expect.
  • Steadier external drives — Ejecting shows a spinner until macOS has fully released the drive, a volume keeps its eject button after you copy files to it, and drives FileBo can't reach are clearly marked so you always know where you stand.
  • A much faster cold start — The first files land in a second or two and the rest of your recents stream in right behind them. FileBo also carries more of its index between launches, so opening the window on a busy Mac feels instant.
  • Calmer cloud folders — Proton Drive, iCloud and Google Drive touch files in the background all day long. FileBo now tells those housekeeping touches apart from your real edits, so the grid stays still and your Mac stays quiet even with a large vault or photo library.

v1.0

New

  • Hello, FileBo — The first release on the Mac App Store: a pop-up panel with your recent files above any app — even full screen — summoned by a global shortcut, the menu bar or the Dock. Seven tabs, time scopes, search, drag & drop, external drives and clouds, auto-grouping, ignore lists and a watch list. Fully offline, with a 14-day full-featured trial.
