Version 1.12.1
Thanks for all the Feedback.
Bug Fixes
• Fixed an error when using "OR" and "AND" in search queries. Search now work correctly.
• Fixed a crash on launch caused by invalid media metadata (NaN/Infinity values in bitrate, dimensions, or shutter speed).
• Fixed a crash when resetting all data while a scan was still running in the background.
Search
• Search now indexes also file metadata (camera, lens, ISO, resolution, codec, artist, etc.), not just file name and path.
• While typing, the top 5 suggestions are shown in a popover.
• When focusing an empty search field, recent searches are shown for quick access.
• Added support for more RAW and media formats for better type filtering.
• Note: Terms like "camera:sony" are not special operators yet. Use plain terms such as sony, iso 400, h265, or canon eos for now.
Search UI & Results
• The search UI shows a preview indicating whether matching files exist.
• Double-clicking a search result opens the file at its location on disk.
UI
• Added a subtle freespace indicator bar to each volume in the sidebar for a quick storage overview at a glance.
• Scrollbars are now thinner for a cleaner look.
• Redesigned the menu bar popover: volumes are now displayed in a compact grid (up to 3 columns) with donut chart, storage breakdown, and media category legend.
• Notes are shown read-only in the popover (expandable if a note exists).
• The popover now respects your Light/Dark mode setting from Settings.
• The popover closes correctly when clicking outside or switching to another app.
• Added last scan date next to the volume type badge (e.g. "External Scan: today").
Drive & Files
• Notes are now integrated in the Drive Overview.
• You can drag and drop items from OfflineFinder into other apps (e.g. into Locations or other programs).
Performance & Stability
• Fixed an FTS index mismatch that could trigger search/indexing errors on some databases.
• Improved incremental scan memory usage on large volumes by avoiding full in-memory path snapshots.
• Reduced background disk activity by batching internal file-change database updates.
• Improved database write behavior with WAL mode and tuned SQLite sync/checkpoint settings.
• Drive Overview now refreshes automatically after a scan completes (no restart needed).
• Search suggestions popover now closes after pressing Enter.
