File Cabinet Pro Mac app icon.

File Cabinet Pro version 8.7.2 has been released for macOS. This release focuses on making file organization more flexible, reliable, and efficient. You’ll find new options for sorting grouped files, improvements to the settings interface, faster file loading, and important bug fixes for macOS 26.0. The complete list of changes are provided below.

New Features:

  • You can now group files by name. When using “Group By Name” files are grouped by the first character of the filename.
  • Added a “Sort Groups by” submenu when the “Use Groups” sorting option is turned on. This submenu can be used to apply an additional sort policy to grouped files.

The new “Sort Groups By” submenu lets you apply an additional sorting rule within grouped sections, offering finer control over how your files are organized.

Files can now be grouped by the first letter of the filename, making large collections easier to browse at a glance in File Cabinet Pro.

Fixes:

  • Workaround fix for a newly discovered bug in macOS 26.0 that could cause File Cabinet Pro’s window to suddenly disappear when interacting with the batch file renaming sheet.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause files to be sorted in an unexpected order after creating a new directory in Column View and then adding files to that newly created directory.

Improvements:

  • Faster file loading when opening a directory for the first time.
  • Made visual improvements to the settings window.
