Snow Leopard support – sort of

August 29th, 2009

We finally have a tested build of ForkLift 1.7.3 that runs on Snow Leopard.

As I said in the previous post, we’re not entirely satisfied with this release and it really is just a ‘hot fix’, a transient build that merely aims to allow Snow Leopard users to continue using ForkLift.

The release if fully functional on Leopard and is stable on Snow Leopard as well, though its functionality is limited in 2 aspects on Snow Leopard.

1. QuickLook will only work on local files. I know.

2. AFP shared volumes are not detected correctly by this build. The workaround is to connect to AFP shares via Finder first. Once mounted in Finder, you will be able to use ForkLift to manage them in the normal way.

We are continuing work on a true Snow Leopard release with the help of Apple’s developer support team.

You can download the fix by following this link:

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Spotlight search and Filters have of course been part of ForkLift from the beginning, as well as the smart handling of search outputs. But, Time has revealed a few spots where some more polishing was possible and even wanted. So, for the 2.0 release, we took a look at all the feedback and suggestions you have sent us and engineered a head-to-toes rewrite of our search box.
