File Cabinet Pro 8.8.2 for Mac: Faster Browsing, Smarter Alerts, and Custom Folder Colors

We’re happy to announce the release of File Cabinet Pro 8.8.2, bringing a mix of usability improvements, performance enhancements, and bug fixes to make managing your files even smoother.

Custom Folder Colors

One of the most noticeable changes in this release is the ability to set a custom folder color directly in File Cabinet Pro Settings. To avoid bugs in the Quick Look framework on macOS Tahoe, File Cabinet Pro now handles folder tinting independently. This gives you more reliable customization and a more consistent visual experience.



Improved Performance on External Volumes

Version 8.8.2 also includes major performance improvements when viewing folders on external volumes. If you work with files on external drives, this update should make browsing those folders feel much faster and more responsive.

Better Error Handling

We have also improved the way File Cabinet Pro handles certain file operation errors. When multiple files fail to move or copy for the same reason—such as when a file already exists—you will now see one clear alert instead of several separate messages. That alert will list the names of all affected files, making it much easier to understand what happened and decide what to do next.

Organizational Improvements in Settings

In addition, we have made a small but useful organizational improvement in Settings. Column view width settings now have their own dedicated tab, making them easier to find and adjust.
