* Multi-Panel File Browsing: Every window and tab can have up to 4 concurrent file browsing panels (Split or Quad view), each with independent view modes (Grid/List/Gallery), browsing history, and undo/redo stacks. * To open and close additional panels, you can use the icon in the bottom status bar or in the top menu bar under Organization / View > Panel Layout or the shortcut Cmd + Control + T / Cmd + Control + W. * Network Integration: Added a dedicated "Network" menu in the menu bar and a new Network tab in Settings. The "Connect to Server" dialog and overall server browsing experience have been significantly improved. * Improved Sidebar: Completely rebuilt sidebar using native macOS technologies for better performance and alignment. Supports density settings (Compact, Normal, Relaxed) and horizontal scrolling. * Sidebar Visuals: Connected drives and volumes in the sidebar now display a disk utilization bar graph to show used space at a glance. * Path Navigation: Press `Cmd+L` to quickly edit the current path manually. Added an option to show the full file path in the window title bar (Settings > Design). * Quick Look: Now enables navigation through all files in the current folder, not just the selection. * Performance: Optimized navigation speed by removing blocking I/O operations. * File Handling: Filenames with slashes are now displayed correctly. App bundles are hidden from the sidebar by default to reduce clutter. The file information sidebar now correctly displays app icons. * Added Finder-standard shortcuts "Cmd+[" and "Cmd+]" for back/forward navigation. Restored "Del" key to move items to Trash, and "Shift+Del" to delete immediately. * Fixed several UI bugs and glitches.
