Windows beta update

A new build of the Windows beta is online. It is still version 0.1.0 and still not code-signed. Download it again from the download page; the file name now ends in beta-3ea291eb-win-x64.zip.

First Windows beta

Fast Finder runs on Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit, and was tested on Windows 11. In this beta: the sidebar with your folders and drives, tabs, the folder tree, all five views, file operations with the Recycle Bin, search by name in a folder, and Tailscale browsing.

Not in this beta: the search index, Quick Look and image previews, tags, the Trash view, cloud marks, Open in Terminal and Run command. The beta is not code-signed, so SmartScreen warns once. Windows beta features and limits.

First release for Mac
