ForkLift 1.6 (beta) discussion thread

[onion]

I'm registered user of Forklift 1.5, why I must see startup message about beta version?

I pay so I should can disable it.

very important: double click on tab bar -> new tab

Sorry for my English :-)

Hmm, the alternating row highlighting is still missing, invisible items are not grayed out, and dragging tabs still locks up ForkLift (although for me it's the drag from right to left that locks things up, it was vice-versa before.

Not sure what else I should be on the lookout for as far as changes from the last release...

View >> Show View Options >> Alternating background

In other news, is there still no column mode? When does this beta expire?- I'll be overseas on a slow and shared internet connection soon...

Just a bit of polish, you might consider capitalizing the default keybinding presets. Finder.

CMD+W works now on File Info and Preferences;

Nice

1. It's "beta", not "trial"
2. You are informed that's not production stable version, but beta; anyway, I start forklift once per... reboot or forklift update, so it's not that annoying.
That's my opinion

Yes, I know that it is beta but this beta works quite good so I would like normally use it to work (without startup message). By the way I can test this version.

If we use quicklook and would like for example "pause" song next we can't changing songs by up and down key.

Hi,

The beta(s) will expire November 7.
And no, column view is not coming yet. It will be more like 2.0

Hi,
great work guys! Looking forward to it.
Here's my quick finding:
FORKLIFT

- If there's a popup dialog (like when a file is going to be overwritten by copy), please give it the keyboard focus so we can hit "return"
- When a single file is insterted with Cmd+V, please put the selection because the next thing I usually want to do is rename the pasted file.
- Navigation between Tabs with Keyboard does not seem to work - I remember it was Alt+Cmd+Arrows before?

It does get focus, but it's the spacebar not return that triggers the highlighted button. However, it *still* doesn't keep focus for the second file if you have multiple files.. so you have to use the mouse to confirm after the first file. One of my few remaining pet peeves. Hope this gets resolved by final release.

3) the functionality of the paired Tabs was largely taken over by the Local Path setting you can add to Favorites (which basically enables paired Favorites).

4) having the two methods at the same time as an option is simply not feasible because of the way the Tabs integrate into the core application code.

I understand why it's not feasible with the new changes, but I have to say I'm really not digging the separate tabs. Guess I'm in the minority here.. I'll just have to try to retrain my brain to use the local path setting/paired favorites.

Didn't realize how much I liked that functionality until it disappeared. It *almost* works opening new windows for each paired tab I want to keep, but also defeats the purpose of tabs in the first place.
