What's New

Recent updates to BiCommander.

Version 2.0.6

Latest
  • Terminal can now be opened as a regular tab inside a file panel — use View → Open Terminal Tab or right-click a tab.
  • New Appearance settings in Preferences → Terminal: choose font family, size, foreground color, and background color for the built-in terminal.

Version 2.0.5

  • Files edited on network volumes (FTP, SFTP, WebDAV) are now saved safely by default: the new version is written to a temporary file and swapped in atomically, preventing data loss on a failed upload.
  • New preference in Preferences → General to control safe-save behavior for network files.
  • Redesigned About window: new layout with large icon, app name, and Acknowledgements button.
  • Fixed FTP file rename reliability on remote servers.
