VaultSort 5.3.0-beta.0
StorageEncryptionFilesLicensingUI
Storage Analysis gets a zoomable map of your folders, Encrypt and Decrypt now run on the part of a mixed selection they apply to, and duplicates of encrypted files decrypt to their real names.
What's New
- The Explorer in Storage Analysis is now a zoomable map of your disk. Instead of one level of blocks and a list, you get the whole folder hierarchy drawn at once: folders are nested plateaus that lighten as they go deeper, files carry their category color, and the biggest things are the biggest shapes. Click a folder to fly into it, press Esc to come back up. An inspector on the right explains whatever is under your pointer — what it is, how much it holds, how recently it was touched — and suggests where to start cleaning, calling out caches and dependency folders that come back on their own, folders nobody has opened in years, and the single largest files. A filter box highlights matches anywhere in view, right-click gives you Reveal, Move to Trash, Secure Delete, Find Duplicates and Organize on the spot, and the map fills in progressively while the scan is still running rather than making you wait for a blank screen. A whole home folder maps in about five seconds.
- Encrypt and Decrypt work on a mixed selection. Selecting encrypted and unencrypted files together used to disable both buttons and tell you to go split the selection by hand. Encrypt now encrypts the unencrypted items and leaves the encrypted ones where they are; Decrypt does the reverse. Anything VaultSort cannot confidently classify is left untouched rather than guessed at, and the summary tells you what it skipped.
Bug Fixes
- Duplicates of encrypted files decrypt to their real names. A copy made by Finder or Windows Explorer —
taxes.pdf.webauthn.enc Copy, ortaxes.pdf.webauthn - Copy.enc— decrypted to a mouthful ending in.decryptedinstead of the file you wanted back. Both spellings are now recognized, and the plaintext lands beside the copy under its proper name without overwriting anything already there. A duplicate also gets its File Keys panel back, so you can still see which security keys open it. (A file of your own that genuinely has "copy" in its name is left alone.) - Decrypting a folder reports where the folder actually went — and can pick up a newly added security key. The reported location was built from the encrypted file's name and came out as a path that never existed. The same wrong path was handed to the automatic re-encryption that adds a new key to old archives, so a folder encrypted before you registered a second key could never learn about that key. Both are fixed.
- Right-click Encrypt and Decrypt act on the file you actually clicked. The Finder and Explorer menu offered "Encrypt" on files that were already encrypted, and the app's own safety check could still be holding the verdict for whichever file you had selected a moment earlier — so an action could run against the wrong one. The check now waits for a real answer about the file in the request, and if it can't classify the file it says so once, instead of one error per file you click.
- A partial encryption run keeps the files it skipped. Encrypting a mixed selection replaced your staged files with only the ones it had just processed, so the encrypted files it had promised to leave alone vanished from staging and you couldn't decrypt them afterwards. Skipped items stay put now.
- Two files staged in quick succession both stay staged. Clicking add on two rows in the file browser fast enough left only one of them selected.
- Beta builds stay on the beta channel. A prerelease was set to publish to the stable update feed, which would have offered a beta to everyone on a stable release.
