File Cabinet Pro version 8.7.3 has been released for macOS. This update improves how the Favorites list in the sidebar works with folders on disk images and external volumes.
Improvements:
- When a folder in the Favorites list is on a volume that needs to be mounted, File Cabinet Pro now displays a warning icon (
) to indicate that the folder is unreachable.
What Happens When you Click on a Folder Displaying the Warning Icon () ?
If the volume is local (for example, a folder inside a disk image stored locally on your Mac), File Cabinet Pro will mount the volume automatically.
If the volume is external, an alert will be presented with options to:- Mount the volume (if possible for network volumes where a remount URL can be determined).
- Remove the entry from Favorites.
- Relink the folder (choose a new folder location manually).
- Cancel to keep the Favorites list as is.
Why This Matters
If you rely on Favorites for folders that aren’t always connected—like NAS shares, external drives, or disk images—8.7.3 makes that workflow more reliable. When volumes aren’t mounted your sidebar stays intact, you get clear visual status of folder availability at a glance, and you decide what happens next.
