Daylight Commander

Known issues

What to expect from the current release, and what is still to come.

Requirements

A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 13 or later. Intel Macs aren't supported. Windows is coming.

Coming later

  • Creating zip archives and adding files to them. Opening and extracting them works today.
  • Custom keyboard shortcuts. The defaults follow Total Commander.
  • Renaming files on remote connections, resuming an interrupted transfer, Send To, a command line, and searching across folders.
  • Phones and cameras over USB, and iPhones and iPads.
  • Browsing your network for SMB servers. You can connect to one by name or address today.

Google Photos rescue

  • The rescue works through Google's own web page, which can change without notice. When it does, a run stops rather than guess, and nothing goes to the trash unless its copy was downloaded and checked first.
  • Google lists a limited number of items in its large photos and videos view, so a big library can take more than one pass. Scan again as you clear space, and the list in Daylight Commander updates.
  • The extension installs from a download rather than the Chrome Web Store, so the browser shows a notice about developer mode extensions when it starts, and you update it by loading the new version yourself.
  • Google can take a day or two to update its storage figure after items move to the trash.
