After version 4.2.1, we skipped version 4.2.2 because it was a Setapp-only release. Version 4.2.3 introduces several exciting new features, many of which are connected to enhancements in the sidebar.
Recent Folders in the Sidebar
We have added a new group called “Recent Folders” to the sidebar. This group displays up to 10 recent locations and is data source dependent. This means that if you switch from your Mac to a server, the list of recent folders will update to show the history of the active data source.
The Recent Folders group is positioned below the Devices section in the sidebar for easy access. However, if you prefer a different location, you can move it by dragging and dropping the group title. To do this, ensure you drop it below the last item of another group and position the mouse pointer below the icons at the start of the sidebar items. ForkLift will indicate permissible drop locations with a blue circle and line.
If you don’t want to see the Recent Folders group in the sidebar, you can hide it. To do this, go to View > Show Sidebar Editor and uncheck the box next to Recent Folders. To exit the Sidebar Editor, select View > Hide Sidebar Editor from the menu. Even when hidden, you can still access the Recent Folders list via the menu: Go > Recent Folders.
Hiding the Connections Group
Using the Sidebar Editor, you can also hide the Connections group from the sidebar. If hidden, you can still access your connections through the menu: Go > Connections.
Editing Linked Files of Alias Files in the Preview Pane
We have added a new feature – which also resolves a bug – that allows you to edit the linked files of alias files directly in the Preview Pane. When you select an alias file, its preview appears in the Preview Pane and the Info Window. If the linked file is editable, you can now make changes directly to the original file by editing the preview of the alias file. Previously, editing the preview destroyed the alias file and failed to save changes to the original file. Now, your changes will be saved correctly when you click the Save button. However, the Save button currently does not disappear after saving; we are working on resolving this issue in a future update.
Updated Tab Icons
We have updated some of the icons displayed in tabs:
- When you are inside a folder, a folder icon is shown instead of the document icon.
- When connected to a remote location, the tab displays either the default protocol icon (e.g., a lock for an SFTP server) or a custom icon for that connection.
Bug Fixes
This update includes important bug fixes, including:
- Fixes an issue that made it impossible to create a new connection to OneDrive, introduced in version 4.2.1
- Fixes an issue that made it impossible to rename items in the root of OneDrive
- Fixes several other minor issues to enhance overall stability and performance
Full List of Changes:
New
- Option to edit the linked file of alias files inside the Preview Pane
- Option to hide the “Connections” group from the sidebar, using the Sidebar Editor
- New item called “Connections” in the Go menu, which shows the connected remote locations, even if the sidebar or the “Connections” group in the sidebar is hidden
- New group called “Recent Folders” in the sidebar, which serves as a history and shows the last 10 locations on the active data source
- New item called “Recent Folders” in the Go menu to display recent folders even if the sidebar or the “Recent Folders” group in the sidebar is hidden

- Displays the folder icon instead of the document icon in the tabs
- Displays the default protocol icons or the favorite icons of remote connections in the tabs

Sorry to report that this version is awfully slooooow on my computer (iMac 5K 2020, Sonoma 14.7.1) – every keystroke takes a quarter of a second to register – and I had to revert to the previous version (4.2.1) to get my work done.
Sorry for that, we have fixed the issue in a new update. Please update to version 4.2.4.
Awesome, the update fixed the issue. Thank you!
Can confirm this, the current version is awfully slow. Keystrokes are very sluggish (MBP 2019, 15.2).
Sorry for that, we have fixed the issue in a new update. Please update to version 4.2.4.
Hallo, Können Sie pCloud hinzufügen ?
http://www.pcloud.com
Adding support for pCloud is already on our feature request list but without an ETA.
You can however access your pCloud in ForkLift if you use the pCloud desktop app.
From the menu of ForkLift, open Go > Go to Folder and paste the following path into the pop-up and hit Enter: ~/Library/CloudStorage
There might be more folders in that location than just your pCloud Drive folder.
Drag the pCloud folder into the sidebar to add it as a favorite. That way you will be able to access your pCloud easily in ForkLift too. If you want to change the name of the favorite in the sidebar, then right-click it and choose Edit.
