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.

File Cabinet Pro version 8.8 brings a cleaner look, better browsing controls, and usability enhancements that make the app more customizable.

Here’s What’s New:

A Modern Look for the Favorites Sidebar

• The Favorites sidebar has been moved into the main window and placed on Liquid Glass by default (Liquid Glass requires macOS 26.0 or later).
• The Favorites sidebar now displays larger and better looking icon images (requires macOS 11.0 or later).
• Fans of the retro style sidebar can set the new “Sidebar Style” preference to “Classic” in app settings.

Automatic Column View Resizing

• File Cabinet Pro can now automatically resize columns in Column view to fit filenames. To enable this feature turn on the “Resize columns to fit filenames” checkbox in app settings.

Invoke “Verify Checksum” from the Toolbar

• You can now add a ‘Verify Checksum’ button to File Cabinet Pro’s toolbar. While the “Verify Checksum” feature has been included in File Cabinet Pro for many years, you previously had to invoke this action from the Services submenu.

Faster Icon View Zoom Controls

• You can now enlarge the size of images in Icon view using the Command+ keyboard shortcut.
• You can now shrink the size of images in Icon view using the Command- keyboard shortcut.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed rare crash related to Icon view reloading when restoring directory state.
• Workaround fix for a bug in macOS that could cause a crash when viewing files in iCloud.

Previously

• File Cabinet Pro 8.7.1 Update Adds Visual Folder States, Toolbar Toggle Shortcut, and More
• File Cabinet Pro Version 8.7 Adds Collapsible Icon View Sections, Performance Improvements, and More

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.

1. Mount the volume (if possible for network volumes where a remount URL can be determined).
2. Remove the entry from Favorites.
3. Relink the folder (choose a new folder location manually).
4. 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.

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.

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.
