Keyboard Shortcuts in Quick Open and Improved Layout Memory

One of ForkLift’s most powerful yet underrated features is the Quick Open window, a true time-saver that many users still don’t take full advantage of. With Quick Open, you can instantly access favorites and execute menu commands without having to dig through menus.

To use it, simply press the Esc key to open the Quick Open window, then start typing the name of the favorite or command you want to use. For example, typing “Downloads” will show options like Open Favorite > Downloads or Execute Command > Downloads, which corresponds to the Go > Downloads menu command. Use the arrow keys to navigate the list and press Enter to activate the selected item. It is especially helpful if you are unsure where a command is located or don’t know its shortcut.

Starting with version 4.3.3, Quick Open now displays the keyboard shortcuts next to each result, making it easier to learn and remember them as you work. For many commands, you can even press the shortcut directly while the Quick Open window is active, unless the shortcut also works inside a text field, in which case the text field action takes priority. Give Quick Open a try to make your workflow faster and more efficient, you might be surprised how much time it can save you.

Another improvements to your workflow:

ForkLift now remembers and reopens the content of the second pane when switching between One Pane and Two Pane Layouts. This means fewer disruptions and a smoother experience when adapting the interface to your needs. (This behavior was introduced in 4.3.1 but we forgot to mention it back then.)

The Activity Window now displays the number of items being synchronized. Whether you are syncing dozens or thousands of files, you will now have a clearer picture of what is happening in real time.

You can now add a “Date Last Opened” column to the List View, making it easier to identify recently used files at a glance.

Subtle Improvements

We have made some refinements to make your experience even more intuitive. ForkLift now ignores quotation marks in path entries in the “Go to Folder” window, the Esc key can close the “Copy to as” pop-up, and hidden files are easier to recognize in Icon View thanks to a lighter color tone.

Resolving Bugs

This release also includes a variety of fixes, from improving QuickLook behavior and Preview Pane reliability, to resolving some SFTP session issues and localization inconsistencies. We have also refined how ForkLift handles files with identical names but different letter casing during copy operations.

Full list of changes:

New

• Displays the keyboard shortcuts of the commands in the Quick Open window
• Displays the number of items in the Activity Window(s) during synchronization
• ForkLift now remembers and reopens the content of the second pane when switching between the One Pane and Two Pane Layouts (Introduced in version 4.3.1)
• Adds the option to add Date Last Opened column to the file view in List View

Improvement

• ForkLift ignores the single quotation marks of the paths in the Go to Folder window when they appear at both the beginning and at the end of a path
• It is possible to exit the “Copy to as” rename pop-up with the Esc key
• Hidden files are shown with a lighter color in Icon View, which makes them easier to differentiate

Fixes

• Removes the Assign Tag command from the list of commands in the Quick Open window when no item is selected
• Removes the tag favorites from the list of commands in the Quick Open window because they linked to the root folder
• Fixes an issue in the Preview Pane where the preview of the selected item got lost after the view inside the Preview Pane was changed to the Log or the Activities and then back to the Preview
• Fixes an issue that made it impossible to QuickLook an item after it has been renamed
• Fixes an issue that made it possible to accidentally delete the selected items in the background with the Command-Delete keyboard shortcut while the Quick Open or the Go to Folder window was activated
• Fixes in the French localization
• Fixes an issue where the session wasn’t correctly closed after disconnecting on SFTP connections
• Fixes an issue where it was possible to select the Show Original, Show Package Contents, and Show Archives Contents commands when multiple items were selected, which then didn’t run correctly
• Fixes an issue where if the content of a bundle was cloned, the content of the bundle was opened in an application instead of actually cloning the file view inside ForkLift
• Fixes an issue where it was possible to select the Calculate Folder Size command from the menu when only files were selected
• Fixes an issue where the file name did not change during local copy operations when a file was replaced by another file with the same name but with uppercase and lowercase letters used differently
• Numerous minor fixes and improvements

Quick fix release – Restores FTP passive mode support

We have just released ForkLift 4.3.2 to quickly address a bug introduced in version 4.3.1 that made it impossible to connect to FTP servers using passive mode. We know this is an essential feature for many of you, so we worked hard to fix it as fast as possible.

Fixes

• Fixes an issue introduced in version 4.3.1 that prevented connections over FTP passive mode
• Adds the missing Edit option to the context menu of saved multi-rename favorites in the sidebar (introduced in version 4.3.1)
• Fixes an issue that prevented hiding tags from the sidebar through the tag’s context menu

Improved Handling of Text Encoding Issues in ForkLift

In ForkLift 4.3.1, we have made important improvements to how ForkLift handles folders and files with text encoding issues over FTP and SFTP connections.

ForkLift allows you to manually set the text encoding used to interpret file and folder names on remote servers. In most cases, this is set to UTF8, which is the modern standard. However, issues can still occur.

Why do encoding problems happen?

Sometimes, files are created on systems that use a different operating system or a different character encoding. In such cases, a filename might appear to be UTF-8, but it actually isn’t.

Previously, ForkLift couldn’t resolve these filenames correctly and would:

• Fail to connect to the server if the problematic file was in the root folder.
• Fail to open a folder that contained a file with a text encoding issue.

In cases like that, ForkLift displayed a “Text encoding error”.

This happened because ForkLift tries to interpret filenames using the encoding set by the user (e.g. UTF8). If the actual encoding doesn’t match, ForkLift couldn’t resolve the name.

This was technically the expected behavior, however, it wasn’t user-friendly, because the user had no way to access the folder or fix the issue if ForkLift couldn’t open it.

Example:

A file named Müller.txt, created using an incorrect or incompatible encoding, might appear as Müller.txt when interpreted as UTF-8. In previous versions, ForkLift couldn’t open the folder containing this file at all, so this garbled name wasn’t visible at all.

What’s new?

ForkLift 4.3.1 introduces a more robust approach. Now, ForkLift can:

• Connect to servers and open folders even if one or more items contain incorrectly encoded names.
• Display problematic filenames using the replacement character (�) in place of unreadable characters, for example, a file named Müller.txt might appear as M�ller.txt. This way, you can clearly see that there’s an encoding issue and fix it manually.

This means you’re no longer blocked from accessing folders just because of one badly encoded file. However, you still won’t be able to open the problematic file itself until the encoding issue is resolved.

How to fix encoding issues in ForkLift:

1. If you see filenames with the replacement character (�) in their names, go to View > Text Encoding in the ForkLift menu.
2. Try changing the encoding (e.g. switch from UTF-8 to Western (ISO Latin 1) or Central European (ISO Latin 2)) until the names become readable and you can open the file or folder.
3. Once the filenames are readable, rename the file using basic characters (e.g. rename Müller.txt to Mueller.txt).
4. Then, switch the encoding back to the encoding you normally use on your server and rename the file again if needed, using your preferred characters (e.g. change Mueller.txt back to Müller.txt).

Improved Visibility and Information Access

ForkLift 4.3.1 introduces small but impactful enhancements to improve visibility and ease of use. In List View, you can now double-click a column header divider to automatically resize the column to fit its content, helping you quickly reveal hidden information or eliminate wasted space.
Additionally, tooltips have been added to the Logs section in the Preview Pane. When filenames are truncated, simply hover over an item to see its full name, making it easier to identify files without needing to expand the column.

Enhanced Workspace Management

Workspaces have received multiple usability improvements to streamline your workflow. You can now open a saved workspace in a new window directly from the sidebar via the right-click context menu. You can also reveal a workspace in the Favorite Manager from the same menu.
Most notably, ForkLift now properly restores the saved view settings for all tabs in a workspace, something that didn’t always happen in earlier versions. This ensures a more consistent experience every time you reopen a workspace, with all tabs and views appearing exactly as you saved them.

Tag Sidebar Improvements and Fixes

Most of the fixes and improvements in version 4.3.1 focus on the new Tags in the Sidebar feature introduced in the previous version. One issue in 4.3. was that ForkLift always generated the default color tags in English, regardless of the macOS system language. This caused problems for users who don’t use English on their Macs, for example, a red tag might appear as “rojo” in Spanish or “rot” in German, and clicking the English “Red” tag in the sidebar wouldn’t show those files.

Starting with ForkLift 4.3.1, the app now generates color tags in the system language of macOS, ensuring they match the user’s tag names.

Please note: this change is not retroactive.
If you already have color tags with names in the wrong language, you will need to manually delete them. To do this, go to ForkLift > Settings > Tags, select the tags to delete, and click the minus (-) button. You can select multiple tags by holding the Command key while clicking. Then, use the plus (+) button to add new tags in your system’s language.

In addition, ForkLift 4.3.1 includes multiple improvements and fixes that enhance working with saved search-based tags in the sidebar. For example, selection is now properly reflected when you click a tag in the sidebar, among other refinements that improve clarity and usability.

Full list of changes:

New

• ForkLift can now open folders over SFTP and FTP connections even if they or their subitems contain text encoding errors. Items with encoding issues are displayed using the replacement character (�) to indicate unreadable parts of the name
• Double-clicking the column header divider resizes the column to fit its content
• Option to drag items from remote connections to Terminal to add their paths
• Displays a tooltip in the Logs section of the Preview Pane to show full information when hovering over an item
• Option to open a workspace from the sidebar’s context menu in a new window
• Option to reveal a workspace in the Favorites Manager from the sidebar’s context menu

Improvement

• Selection remains on the selected tag in the sidebar
• Displays the tag icon as the tab icon instead of the search icon when a tag is selected from the sidebar
• Inactive tags related to searches no longer lose their original tab icons
• Disables the Find command in the menu if the Search Bar is removed from the toolbar
• Workspaces now restore the saved view settings of all tabs in cases where this previously did not happen

Fixes

• Removes the “Clear” tag from the list of color tags in the context menu
• Fixes an issue where the path and icon of a folder were displayed incorrectly when opened from a saved search (for example, Tags in the sidebar) using the “Open in New Tab” command
• Fixes an issue with autogenerated tags where color tags are now generated in the language of the macOS instead of English (this fix does not apply retroactively)
• Fixes an issue that caused tags to appear in the Recent Folders section of the sidebar
• Fixes an issue where the Permissions section was missing in the Preview Pane when selecting items from search results
• Fixes an issue introduced in version 4.3 on Amazon S3 where a zero-sized file with an empty name could appear in the file list
• Fixes an issue with FTP TLS connections where editing an existing SFTP connection with active mode could result in active mode being used instead of the built-in passive mode
• Fixes an issue where search results could be added to Favorites, but the Favorites would not work as expected
• Numerous minor fixes and improvements

See More Details in the Activities Pane

When transferring files in ForkLift, you can track progress in both the toolbar and the Preview Pane (View > Show Activities). However, limited space in the Activities Pane made it difficult to see all the details of a transfer.

Now, if you hover over the bottom line of a transfer, a tooltip will appear, displaying full information about the file size, transfer speed, and remaining time – giving you a clearer overview at a glance.

Larger Icons in List View

A much-requested feature is finally here: you can now set a large, 32-pixel icon size in List View.

To adjust this setting, open View Options (Command-J or View > Show View Options) and change the Icon Size from 16 to 32. Keep in mind that each tab has its own settings, so if you want large icons across all tabs, you will need to adjust this setting individually for each one.

Tags Favorite Group in the Sidebar

The biggest addition in ForkLift 4.3 is the new Tags favorite group in the sidebar. With this feature, clicking on a tag in the sidebar will instantly show all the files and folders on your Mac that are labeled with that tag.

By default, the Tags section displays the standard macOS color tags, but you can customize it to fit your needs.

Managing Your Sidebar Tags

To customize which tags appear in the sidebar:

• Open ForkLift > Settings > Tags
  
• Use the plus (+) button to add a new tag
• Select a tag and click the minus (-) button to remove it

If a tag has an assigned color in Finder, ForkLift will automatically detect and display it with the correct color.

Editing Tags in the Sidebar

For quick tag management:

• Right-click a tag in the sidebar and select Delete to delete it
• Right-click a tag in the sidebar and select Hide from Sidebar to hide it
  
• To show a hidden tag again, open the Sidebar Editor (View > Show Sidebar Editor) and check the tag’s box

You can also hide the entire Tags group by right-clicking its header and selecting Hide from Sidebar. To restore it, open the Sidebar Editor and put the check mark back.

Reordering Tags

You can drag and drop your tags to reorder them in both Settings and the Sidebar. However, tags must remain within the Tags group – they cannot be moved to other favorite groups.

Improvements and Bug Fixes

ForkLift 4.3 also includes numerous improvements and bug fixes. Most notably, we have enhanced the Tools section, ensuring that spaces in filenames and paths no longer cause issues. Additionally, we have improved the behavior of undo and redo actions.

Full list of changes:

New

• Tags favorite group in the Sidebar
• Option to set a big, 32-pixel icon size in List View
• Displays a tooltip in the Activities Pane to show the full info when hovering over the info line (bottom line)
• Displays Owner and Group information in the Info Window on SFTP (OpenSSH) connections

Improvement

• Modification date of the folder changes when dragging an item over the folder to add it without opening the folder

Fixes

• Fixes an issue where a space in the source or target path could prevent Tools from working correctly
• Fixes an issue where filenames containing spaces were not correctly passed as separate parameters to shell scripts in the Tools section
• Fixes a display issue of the activity while the process of duplicating an item was queued
• Fixes a possible crash when a quotation mark was entered into the Search field while doing a Spotlight search
• Fixes an issue that prevented connection to SFTP servers when the username was only set in the config file
• Fixes an issue that changed the modification date to the current date when an item was transferred to an external drive or a network share
• Fixes a visual Undo/Redo update issue on remote servers
• Fixes the Undo/Redo sound
• Fixes a history handling issue with Undo/Redo
• Fixes an issue on the Connect Panel where it was possible to insert a line break into the Password field
• Fixes a possible crash when dragging items over the Devices group header in the sidebar
• Fixes a compatibility issue with some S3-compatible services such as Tigris
• Numerous minor fixes and improvements

Secure Your SFTP Connections with Multi-Factor Authentication in ForkLift 4.2.8

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is becoming increasingly necessary to protect online accounts and sensitive data. Many hosting providers and organizations now require MFA for added security. To ensure that ForkLift remains compatible with modern security standards, we have introduced support for MFA in ForkLift 4.2.8.

How Multi-Factor Authentication Works in ForkLift

When establishing an SFTP connection in ForkLift 4.2.8, you simply need to select SFTP as the protocol. From there, ForkLift will handle the authentication process dynamically, based on the responses it receives from the SFTP server:

• If the server requires a password, ForkLift will prompt you to enter it.
• If the server requires an verification code, ForkLift will ask for it.
• If multiple authentication steps are needed, ForkLift will guide you through the process, requesting each necessary code until authentication is complete.

Ghostty: A Highly Requested Terminal Application

We are also excited to announce that ForkLift 4.2.8 adds support for a new terminal application: Ghostty. This addition has been highly requested by many users, so we made sure to include it in this release.

Users can set Ghostty as the default terminal application under

ForkLift > Settings > General > Terminal Application.

Once set, Ghostty will open when using the File > Open in Terminal command or the Terminal button in the toolbar. We hope that many users will find this addition useful.

Get Started with ForkLift 4.2.8

If you encounter any issues while using multi-factor authentication or any other features in ForkLift 4.2.8, please let us know.

Happy and secure file transferring with ForkLift!

Full list of changes:

New

• Adds an option to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with SFTP connections – no user configuration required
• Adds support for Ghostty as a terminal application, which can be selected in the settings

Improvement

• The AppMover, introduced in version 4.2.6 to move ForkLift into the Applications folder when launched from a different location, now asks only once whether to move ForkLift

Fixes

• Fixes a possible silent crash (no crash report was available) introduced in version 4.2.6 with the OpenSSH implementation, where ForkLift could crash when connected to an SFTP server, especially after waking the computer from sleep
• Fixes an issue that made opening folders containing symlinks to an external drive very slow
• Fixes an issue introduced in version 4.2.6 that made it impossible to use the Delete toolbar button in combination with the Option key to permanently delete selected items
• Fixes an issue where files would jump around when grouping by Kind was enabled, and the sorting type was changed
• Fixes an issue where the color of item names and types in the preview pane didn’t update correctly when switching between dark and light themes
• Fixes an issue where ForkLift was copied instead of moved into the Applications folder after the new AppMover feature (introduced in version 4.2.6) prompted the user and attempted to move it
• Numerous minor fixes and improvements

Switching Back to OpenSSH for SFTP

We introduced a significant change in ForkLift 4.2.5: the switch from libssh2 to OpenSSH for SFTP connections.

This transition had been under consideration for a long time, as we recognized that our users depend on more advanced SSH capabilities that libssh2 lacks. OpenSSH not only provides better compatibility but also includes more advanced features, making it a more powerful and flexible solution. Some of the most requested missing features in libssh2 include Include statements and ProxyJump, both of which OpenSSH supports. Given its broader functionality and enhanced reliability, we believe this implementation will result in fewer compatibility issues compared to libssh2.

Temporary Removal of ForkLift 4.2.5

Unfortunately, ForkLift 4.2.5 contained some unexpected problems affecting usability, which is why we decided to remove it from our site shortly after its release. After identifying and addressing the issues, we are now releasing ForkLift 4.2.6, which contains the necessary fixes.

OpenSSH instead of libssh2

Starting from ForkLift 4.2.5, ForkLift uses OpenSSH instead of libssh2 for SFTP connections. This change may cause issues for some users, so for a limited time, ForkLift includes both implementations. If you experience problems with the new implementation, you can temporarily switch back to the old one by entering a command in Terminal.

• libssh2 was used in ForkLift versions 4.0 – 4.2.4
• OpenSSH is used starting from 4.2.5

Temporary Fallback Option

If you encounter issues with OpenSSH in ForkLift 4.2.6, you can switch back to libssh2 by running the following command in Terminal:

defaults write com.binarynights.ForkLift.plist useLibSSH2 true

To return to the new OpenSSH implementation, use:

defaults write com.binarynights.ForkLift.plist useLibSSH2 false

For Setapp users

If you use the Setapp version of ForkLift, run the following command in Terminal to switch back to libssh2:

defaults write com.binarynights.forklift-setapp.plist useLibSSH2 true

To return to the new OpenSSH implementation, use:

defaults write com.binarynights.forklift-setapp.plist useLibSSH2 false

How to Run These Commands

1. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
2. Copy and paste the command
3. Press Enter

Updating Your SSH Config File

With OpenSSH, you may need to update your SSH configuration file if you encounter connection issues. ForkLift will display error messages that can guide you in fixing the problem.

In case of issues

If updating the config file doesn’t resolve the issue, you can temporarily switch back to libssh2 (see the Terminal command above).

Alternatively, you can download ForkLift 4.2.4, which doesn’t contain OpenSSH from here: Download Link

We understand that changes like this can be disruptive, but we strongly believe that this implementation will benefit our users in the long run by providing support for advanced SSH features.

We initially considered releasing a beta version, but beta versions often don’t get enough feedback, making it difficult to identify and fix potential issues in time. We hope that by keeping the fallback option available, this transition will be as smooth as possible.

There may still be issues, and we encourage users to report any problems in the comments section or via email at support [at] binarynights [dot ] com.

Full list of changes:

New

• OpenSSH implementation instead of libssh2 to connect via SFTP – this means that config file commands supported by OpenSSH, such as ProxyJump and Include, will work in ForkLift 4
• Czech localization
• When ForkLift isn’t in the Applications folder, it offers to move itself there, as it must be in that location to work properly
• Displays the number of subitems during preparation for better clarity and user experience

Improvement

• Added support for keyboard shortcuts using the Option/Alt key and a letter. As a result, Option + a letter can no longer be used for type selection in the file view. Type selection still works when typing a word while the file view is active
• Custom keyboard shortcuts for the Move to Trash command that include the Option/Alt key now correctly move items to the Trash instead of attempting to delete them immediately
• VoiceOver now announces which pane is selected when switching panes
• Deleted folders no longer appear in the Recent Folders list
• File operation preparation is now up to 10 times faster locally

Fixes

• Fixes an issue that caused slow navigation, introduced in version 4.2.3
• Fixes an issue where icons in the Quick Open window were displayed incorrectly
• Fixes an issue where Tool names in the Settings were not updated in some cases, remaining “Untitled” despite being renamed
• Fixes an issue where dragging multiple folders over the Plus sign in the tab bar only opened one folder instead of all of them in a new window
• Fixes an issue where dragging a tab into the file view created an unwanted tab item inside the view
• Fixes an issue where the same color tag could be added twice using keyboard shortcuts
• Fixes an issue with pinned tabs causing unexpected behavior when the “Restore windows and tabs on startup” setting was enabled
• Fixes an issue where pinned tabs behaved unexpectedly when opening a new window
• Fixes an issue in Icon View where dragging and dropping an item onto a folder would automatically open the folder
• Fixes an issue where the Connect Panel did not open in the correct pane when remote connections were locked to the Right side in the Settings and the user changed the layout from one pane to two panes
• Fixes an issue with the Group by function, introduced in version 4.2.1, where grouping did not work correctly if the “Show folders on top” setting was disabled
• Numerous minor fixes and improvements

ForkLift 4.2.5 Temporarily Removed – New Version Coming Soon

[Edited: February 25, 2025] This post has been updated to reflect the removal of ForkLift 4.2.5 due to reported issues.

Earlier today, we released ForkLift 4.2.5, introducing a major change: switching from libssh2 to OpenSSH for SFTP connections. In our original announcement, we highlighted that while this transition brings significant benefits – such as support for ProxyJump and Include in SSH config files – it could also lead to issues for some users.

Since the release, we have received reports of unexpected problems affecting usability. As a result, we have decided to temporarily remove ForkLift 4.2.5 from our website while we work on a fix. A new, improved version addressing these issues will be available tomorrow.

We appreciate your patience and feedback during this transition. If you are experiencing issues, you can temporarily switch back to libssh2 using the following command in Terminal:

defaults write com.binarynights.ForkLift.plist useLibSSH2 true

Alternatively, you can download ForkLift 4.2.4 at the end of this blog post and use that version.

We remain committed to making this switch as smooth as possible and ensuring that ForkLift provides the best experience for all users. While we are working to fix all reported issues, it is possible that new versions may still contain some unexpected problems. If you encounter any issues, please let us know so we can continue improving ForkLift. Stay tuned for the next update coming soon!

Download ForkLift 4.2.4

We are releasing ForkLift 4.2.4 as a quick update to improve your experience and address an issue introduced in version 4.2.3. This version resolves the lagging keyboard navigation and adds a handy new feature: the ability to hide all sidebar groups, including Recent Folders, with a simple right-click.

New

• Adds the option to hide all remaining groups, including Recent Folders, from the sidebar through the right-click context menu

Fixes

• Fixes the lagging keyboard file navigation issue introduced in version 4.2.3

Download ForkLift 4.2.4

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

Improvement

• 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

Fixes

• Fixes an issue, which made it impossible to rename items in the root of OneDrive
• Fixes an issue, which made it impossible to create a new connection to OneDrive, introduced in version 4.2.1
• Fixes an issue, which made it possible to open the About ForkLift window multiple times
• Fixes an update error with a registered expired license key and the “Check for updates automatically” setting enabled
• Fixes an issue, which made it impossible to open the Connect Panel in the Single Pane layout and remote connections locked to the right pane
