A small update focused on usability improvements and fixes
ForkLift 4.6.4 brings a collection of small improvements and fixes that make everyday use of ForkLift smoother and more convenient.
Two notable enhancements focus on file navigation. Quick Select now recognizes accented letters, making it easier to find files whose names contain accented characters. In addition, the Go to Folder window can now recognize and locate aliases and symlinks, improving navigation throughout your file system.
Full List of changes:

- Adds warning before deleting a theme from the Settings to avoid accidental deletion
- Small GUI enhancements

- Go to Folder is able find aliases and symlinks
Fixes
- Fixes an issue in Column View in rename mode where the selected file name could float over the other files when scrolling
- Fixes path bar inconsistencies
- Fixes the Quit and Keep Windows command in the Keyboard shortcuts in the Settings
- Makes the Sync to command inactive while one pane is in search mode
- Fixes a possible hang while changing themes in the Settings
Hi,
are there any plans to have a kind of address bar like you have in (sorry) the windows explorer. Sometimes it is easier for me to navigate to a folder just by typing the address or I need the current path, than it is super easy to copy the string. I know that there is a “go to” shortcut, but that needs extra interaction.
Best regards
No, we don’t plan to add such an address bar.
This version still has the icons flipping colors issue (as expected) – reverting back to 4.6 again 😞 .
I know the developer really is working hard on ForkLift, which I very much appreciate, and the choices made are very understandable, but the color flipping of the icons is just super annoying.
Yes, this is still a problem on Tahoe. I have to stay on 4.6 because of this broken behavior. Not only colors flipping but file icons associated with programs not displayed.
As mentioned before, we are not currently planning to switch back to the old API. We understand that the icon color-flipping and other issues can be frustrating, but at this point we are hoping Apple will address the problem on their side. Since ForkLift is using Apple’s newer API, any fix from Apple should automatically benefit all newer ForkLift versions that rely on it.
If we ever decide to revert to the old API, we will clearly mention that in the release notes. If no such change is listed, then the resolution of this issue depends on Apple.
