Copy and paste local files, mapped-drive files, and network files between Trove and Windows Explorer Windows only
Start typing a letter while browsing to focus the command bar and enter your command; existing shortcuts and text fields keep their normal behavior

Improved
Choose Don't ask again for network deletions to skip future confirmations for network-only Trash drops Windows only
Restore network deletion confirmations in Settings → General; cancelling a deletion leaves the saved preference unchanged Windows only

Type a drive letter such as j: or a simple cd command in the command box to navigate the current pane without opening PowerShell Windows only

Fixed
Dragging files and folders from mapped network drives now avoids Windows Shell lookups that could crash while crossing another pane or the sidebar Windows only
Trove 1.1.35
Disk images open naturally, and Trash permissions are clearer
Improved
Opening a disk image now uses macOS to show its installer window, just like Finder. Choose Browse Disk Image from the context menu to explore it inside Trove Mac only
When the Trash needs Full Disk Access, Trove explains the permission and offers a button to open the right System Settings page Mac only
Fixed
Escape and Space reliably close a preview even when pressed immediately after it opens

Trove 1.1.34
One press to update, and a mouse that navigates
New
The Trash is somewhere you can go: switch it on in Settings ▸ Sidebar, put it with Favorites or at the foot in one of three sizes, and put things back
The thumb buttons on your mouse now go Back and Forward, and Settings can give them, and the middle button, any action you like
A File Explorer layout: one set of Back, Forward and Up at the top of the window for the pane you are working in, instead of a set on every pane
Drag a bookmark in the sidebar to move it: a line shows where it will land, and you can drop it into another group. Press Escape to call it off

The Drop Stack can be hidden from Settings ▸ Sidebar, and keeps whatever is on it while it is away

An update in progress says which part it is on and counts the download up, instead of sitting on one label for the whole of it
Settings is a window of pages with the subjects listed down the left, rather than one long column. Every keyboard shortcut now fits on screen at once
Fixed
An update that failed reported the failure as "[object Object]" rather than saying what went wrong
Pressing Install when the release had just been withdrawn appeared to do nothing at all, and said nothing either

A failed delete no longer blames Finder, which this computer does not have Windows only

Applications behave like applications

Trove 1.1.32
Apps extracted from a zip open properly again
Fixed
An application unpacked from an archive now opens instead of being refused — it was arriving without the permission that lets it run Mac only
Unpacking an archive no longer leaves the hidden ._ companion files behind, which quietly broke the signature of anything signed Mac only
Files keep the permissions the archive recorded, so scripts unpacked from a zip are still runnable
Trove 1.1.31
Drag files straight out of a zip on Windows
New
Files inside an archive, or on a connection, can now be dragged out to another app — the file is fetched when you drop it, not before Windows only
Fixed
A drag the computer could not carry through now says what stopped it, instead of looking like the app ignored you
Trove 1.1.30
Folders of photos open quickly again
Improved
Photos, RAW files and videos now get a real thumbnail made once and kept, instead of the whole picture being loaded to draw a small tile
RAW files use the preview the camera already put inside them, so a folder of them fills in several times faster
Thumbnails are remembered between launches, so a folder you have opened before appears at once
The update all-clear names the version, so "Trove 1.1.30 is up to date" can be checked rather than taken on trust
Fixed
Dragging a file out of an archive or a connection now says why it can't be done here, instead of appearing to do nothing Windows only
Trove 1.1.29
Update checks that say what happened
Improved
Trove looks in a second place for new releases, so a network that blocks one address no longer leaves you on an old version
Fixed
Checking for updates no longer says Trove is up to date when it could not reach the update server — it names what stopped it
A release with no download for your computer is now named as that, instead of looking like no release at all

Fixed
When something fails, the progress window names the file and the reason
FTP connections pick up again after the server drops an idle session
Deleting from a server asks for a permanent delete, and says why
Trove 1.1.25
Deleting asks first
Improved
Delete asks before moving the selection to the Trash, and Shift+Delete asks before deleting for good
The delete key asks when something is selected, and still goes up a folder when nothing is Mac only

Dropping files back into the pane they came from asks before moving them

Trove 1.1.22
Every view behaves like a view
Improved
Double-click opens a file in Icon, Column and Gallery view, as it does in List view
Renaming selects the name and leaves the extension alone
Get Info, and the rest of a file's menu, work in every view
A bar runs under a file's name while its preview is being made
Previews load before you reach them, and let go of memory once far out of sight
Fixed
RAW photos preview properly instead of failing or showing the wrong picture
A file operation shows one progress window, not two
