What's new

Filter your Space without leaving the Explorer

Find files by name, path, suffix, or extended properties using the same filter editor as tables. Combine conditions with AND/OR and nested groups, including multiple or compound suffixes. Matching files keep their parent folders visible, and filtering also finds files inside collapsed folders. Conditions stay in the filter menu, with a count on the toolbar button.

Plugins in your language

Plugins can now bundle translated names, descriptions, contribution labels, and separate README documents. Plugin details select the matching language instead of mixing translations in one document, and supported plugin interfaces can respond when you change the app language. Plugin developers can start with the new localized-page template and Plugin API 3.7.

Improvements

  • Explorer: Right-click a Space to expand or collapse all folders, or a folder to control only its subtree, using one contextual menu item.
  • Plugins: Details identify background services alongside other contributions. Enabled labels are shorter, and sidebar reordering shows the new position as you drag.

Bug fixes

  • Sync: Recover validated system-metadata merges safely, show clearer table and field conflict summaries, and retain a resumable recovery state when a merge cannot finish.
  • Plugin sidebar: Highlight the selected plugin entry correctly when multiple entries share a name.

Patch releases

Latest in series

0.29.7

Eidos Lite · Stable

Bug fixes

  • Version history and Sync: Fixed a snapshot hash error that could block syncing or downloading a Space after restoring an earlier database version or editing a downloaded Space. These checkpoints now sync correctly to other devices.

Existing checkpoints affected by this error are not rewritten automatically. Keep the original Space and its history for recovery.

0.29.6

Eidos Lite · Stable

Bug fixes

  • Startup continuity: Fixed the blank screen and separate loading message between the logo animation and your Space. The logo now remains until the file tree or recovery screen is ready, and your chosen light or dark appearance is preserved throughout startup.
  • Space recovery: When the last Space cannot be opened, Lite shows the error with retry and folder-selection actions instead of silently returning to the Space selector.
  • Explorer plugins: The built-in file tree stays usable while plugins load. A plugin that finishes loading later no longer interrupts browsing; explicitly choosing an explorer still switches to it.

0.29.4

Eidos Lite · Stable

Improvements

  • Opening Spaces: The Space interface loads alongside folder initialization and reuses the initial snapshot, reducing duplicate work when restoring your last Space.
  • File properties: Basic file information can appear while extended properties are still loading. The properties window loads independently of the main workspace interface.

Bug fixes

  • Startup feedback: A lightweight loading window appears before Space recovery and initialization, so launching Lite no longer leaves you waiting for a hidden window. The logo animation completes quickly and never delays entering your Space.

0.29.3

Eidos Lite · Stable

Improvements

Start in your last Space

Eidos Lite now opens your most recently used Space when you launch the app. The Space selector appears on first use or when that folder cannot be opened. Closing a Space window no longer brings the selector back; switch Spaces anytime from the Space name at the top of the Explorer.

Bug fixes

  • File recovery: Reopening an Eidos File after restoring it to its original path now waits for the previous file session to finish closing, avoiding a temporary "could not be opened" error.

0.29.1

Eidos Lite · Stable

Bug fixes

  • LAN pairing: Pairing codes prefer local-network interfaces and include alternative addresses, preventing VPN or virtual adapters from making a computer unreachable to a phone. Update the mobile app as well, then generate a new code in Device connection.
  • Pairing QR codes: Larger, sharper codes with more surrounding space improve recognition when connecting a phone.
