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.

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Indeed, we are learning more and more each day about the elusive nature of these majestic animals.
Well, Snow Leopard is out, and I must say, we’ve not managed to make our release on time, and as a consequence, our mailboxes are now flooded with surprised emails from early upgraders. This post is for them.

This episode of our futuroscopic series gives us an overview of Search in ForkLift 2.0.
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.

This week we’re continuing our series into the future of ForkLift. Last time we looked at the docked activity viewer/progress bar and got some good feedback which helped us finalize the new feature’s specs. Now in part 2, we’re following up on last week’s tease:
Stacks
Stack are one of the major additions we have planned for ForkLift 2.0.
Stacks are of course virtual temporary folders where you can just stack up a selection of files and folders from different parts of your filesystem, and then carry out an operation on all of them at once. Handy for keeping project files in one place or for preparing large transfer jobs.

With these sleepless hot summer nights on us again, ForkLift 2.0 has recently started to take shape. By no measure does this mean that we’re anywhere near a functional build, but we now have some framework components and the main elements of the UI ready. A skeleton basically.
As the coming months are going to be spent with progressively dressing this skeleton with ForkLift’s feature set, we though it would be a perfect occasion to discuss the features over with you. So, you’re looking at a series of future posts, where we will regularly give you a peek at the module we’re currently working on, and see if there’s a way to improve something. These posts are going to be your best chance to make your ideas heard, so no need to show restraint, just keep to the function at hand.
I must say, there’s absolutely no guarantee that any of your suggestions will actually get into the release, but we will try to keep an open mind. (and that’s the best you can expect)

As I wrote last week, we’ve been very much surprised at the response that our impromptu promo received. From what it looked like, there was a huge crowd of people standing right outside our doors, waiting for an opportunity to get their hands on a cheap copy.
It really felt like one those shopping mobs you see on youtube, without the nasty pushing around and negative undertones, of course.

Due to the frankly surprising success of this ad hoc discount, we were brought to fundamentally reconsider our pricing policy for ForkLift. We don’t want to rush this decision, so we will extend this current discount for an extra week, until we’re prepared to come out with our new pricing model.
This means there’s still one week left of this great deal.

It’s so hot that the price of ForkLift melted down from $44.95 to $9.95. Grab a license before it cools down.
