Hello People,
We’re happy to announce that, while still at work on the new UI, we’re giving in to popular demand and are releasing a quick update to ForkLift.
So WebDAV support is now available, fully functional with remote preview and editing, etc.
The Edit menu was expanded to incorporate a Select Panel, where you can use a text input filter to select multple files in the active panel, or you can compare the two panels and select files with matching filenames.
Thanks for the bug reports you sent in – we’ve fixed some of these now, including the bug with using other than ASCII text encoding over SFTP, and some issues with deleting Amazon S3 buckets and folders.
Equally important – we’ve made a handful of changes to make ForkLift run on Leopard. 3 days 21 hours to go.
Most of these extra features and fixes were coded by Bela, maybe we should give him an employee of the month award or something.
Enjoy the release, and let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you.

Tabs on each side, please? ;->
Go Bela, Go!
Hi, would love to have the feature of being able to organise my favourite servers into to folders please
@Chris
You do have this option. Just launch a couple of droplets for your favorite servers, and put them into a folder. et voila

Hi guys
First of i am a new user to forklift (demo) and i must say at first i was sceptic about it because i have finder / transmit / and AppZapper allready so what could this App possibly do for me ?. Well everything i gues….this is a MUST have App…it´s drop dead geogeous, it´s fast, and it saves me a heck of time with the dual pane+droplets in FTP. I will HIGHLY recommend this app to everyone.

Hi Guys,
One thing I recently been disappointed on is the lack of metadata support. Finder allows adding comments to files, which are then searchable. Forklift fails to offer any way to handle tagging / metadata, the only way is to open file in Finder and do it there. Excellent utilities like SpotMeta also fail to integrate into Forklift’s context menu’s for items. As Spotmeta is opensource, you could build some of that functionality in. It is using the metadata support Tiger and Leopard support at the core of the FS.

Tagging/metadata + Spotlight is the future of the file system, and I’d love it if Forklift was on the forefront of this! It is quite trivial for you to start implementing some of this soon.

Note: things are actually worse regarding metadata. Forklift has a bug where it loses spotlight comments when copying files. File+Metadata should be preserved as a priority by any file manager. Bug has been reported with reproduction steps…
A very, very good file manager! I just discovered it today and after 20 minutes of experimenting I bought it. Please continue the development, it’s becoming great! I just want to add my voice to the previous comments and ask for a very careful testing and accurate implementation of the metadata support. That would make this file manager really outstanding. Thanks for your work!
@Ian & osxfr
Thanks for your concern guys, but we were unable to reproduce the metadata bug, tested it on both Tiger and Leopard. As FL uses OS X’s built-in copy engine, we’re pretty sure FL handles metadata all right. This must be a unique bug on a unique system. We’ll keep monitoring the issue though, and will refer to Apple if the bug is consistent.
Still, Ian is right on having proper metadata handling in FL, we’ll keep it on our list.
Have a nice day eveyone
