Changelog

Every notable update to DockDuck. New releases arrive through the in-app updater — the latest is v0.6.1.

  1. 0.6.1 Latest

    Changed

    • Full localization — the entire interface is now translated across all 14 languages: menus, keyboard-shortcut names, the transfer panel, file info, onboarding, settings, and error messages — not just parts of the app.
    • Keyboard shortcuts shown in menus and tooltips now reflect your actual bindings, so a rebound shortcut always displays the key you chose.

    Fixed

    • Trash now shows everything Finder does — including items deleted from an iCloud Desktop or Documents folder, which previously made DockDuck's Trash look empty. Right-clicking a trashed item offers Put Back and Delete Immediately (no more "Open"), and deleting several selected items at once — including non-empty folders — now works on servers.
    • New Window is back on the standard ⌘N (it had an odd default), and switching to Columns view (⌘⌥3) now works from the View menu.
  2. 0.6.0

    Added

    • Dual-pane browsing — split the window into two panes and drag files straight from one side to the other, the classic two-up file-manager layout.
    • Folder comparison — compare two folders and see at a glance which files are new, missing, or differ between them.
    • Shelf — a drop tray that gathers files from anywhere, then moves or copies them all at once to wherever you drop it.
    • Smart folders — save a search and have it re-run live; your saved searches live in the sidebar.
    • Batch rename — rename many files at once (find-and-replace, sequential numbering, case changes) with a live preview and one-step undo.
    • Archives — compress to .zip, .7z, .tar.gz, .tar.xz, and extract those plus .rar and more — all with built-in macOS tooling, no extra apps.
    • Type-ahead selection and configurable list columns — jump to a file by typing its name; pick which columns the list shows from the header menu.
    • Folder customization — give a folder its own color and emoji badge.
    • Git status badges (Settings → Dev Tools, off by default) — a colored dot marks changed and untracked files inside repositories.
    • Customizable toolbar, pinned tabs, and a menu bar item for quick access.
    • Transfer notifications — a Notification Center banner (with sound) when a long transfer finishes while you're in another app.
    • 14 languages — DockDuck now speaks 14 languages, switchable in Settings.
    • Accounts and a free trial — a first-run welcome walks you through signing in and getting started; your trial and subscription sync across launches.

    Changed

    • Faster, more reliable transfers to FTP/SFTP servers, especially large batches of files — uploads no longer stall on servers that limit connections.
    • Transfer panel redesign — it appears instantly, shows one window per transfer, draws a smoother speed graph, stays centered and fully on-screen, and closing a window cancels that transfer.
    • Editable path bar — hover the breadcrumb for a quick Copy button, and double-click it to type or paste a path.
    • Uploading files that already exist on a server now asks what to do (Keep Both / Replace / Skip), the same as a local paste.
    • Folders refresh automatically when their contents change on disk.

    Fixed

    • Renaming a large file updates its name and icon immediately, with no need to refresh the folder.
    • Dragging files from a Windows VM (an RDP "Windows App" window) into DockDuck now copies them correctly.
    • Deleting several selected items on a server now removes all of them, including non-empty folders.
  3. 0.5.11

    Added

    • Remote servers — connect to SFTP, SMB, WebDAV and FTP/FTPS right from the address bar: type sftp://host (or pick a saved server in the sidebar) and browse it like a local folder. Saved connections live in a new Settings → Servers section, grouped by protocol, with credentials kept in the macOS Keychain.
    • Drag-and-drop transfers between your Mac and any server, in both directions, with a live progress panel (speed, time remaining, throughput chart). Folders transfer with their full nested contents.
    • First-connection trust prompts — unknown SSH host keys and TLS certificates show their fingerprint for you to verify before trusting, the same safeguard you know from other file-transfer apps.

    Changed

    • Servers reconnect automatically when a session drops, so a brief network blip no longer interrupts browsing.

    Fixed

    • Server folders now show the correct folder icon in the tab and breadcrumb instead of a generic document icon.
