v0.24.1
Released 2026-09-08. This release adds text preview wrapping, automatic column sizing and a fit button in Columns view, and Quick Look previews that follow the selection on Windows. It also fixes settings and licenses failing to save when starting as administrator, sidebar trees failing to refresh, and files opening accidentally when starting a drag.
The kinds of change (New / Improved / Fixed) are explained on the Changelog page.
New
| # | Kind | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | New | Text previews wrap long lines to the preview width by default. Line numbers appear only on the first segment of each original line, and search matches and selections are highlighted across wrapped segments. Wrapping is also enabled when upgrading. To restore horizontal scrolling, turn off Settings → Appearance → Wrap Long Lines in Text Preview, or right-click the preview text and turn off Word Wrap. With wrapping off, use Shift+wheel to scroll long lines horizontally |
| 2 | New | Newly opened columns in Columns view automatically size to the longest name once the folder finishes loading, up to half the width of their tab group. Columns whose width has been adjusted manually no longer resize automatically |
| 3 | New | A fit button appears when hovering over a column divider in Columns view. Click it to fit the column to its contents, and click again to restore its previous width. Dragging the divider manually clears the remembered width. Group names and counts are included when grouping is enabled. Manual fitting is not subject to the half-width limit used by automatic sizing |
| 4 | New | Windows: after opening Quick Look with QuickLook or Seer, selecting another file in tessoa with the arrow keys or mouse updates the preview window without closing and reopening it. See Quick Look |
Fixed
| # | Kind | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Fixed | Windows: fixed settings and licenses being lost after a restart in 0.24.0 on computers with UAC disabled or when tessoa was started directly as administrator. These launch methods now save normally. Only the additional window opened through Open New Window as Administrator in the top-left menu leaves settings and license changes unsaved, and it displays a notice when opened. If your activation was lost, activate again after upgrading; this does not use an additional device slot |
| 6 | Fixed | Fixed new subfolders created in a favorite folder not appearing in the sidebar tree until a restart. The tree now updates after creating, deleting, pasting, extracting or dragging files into tessoa, and after refreshing with F5 |
| 7 | Fixed | Fixed a selected file sometimes opening in its default application when holding the mouse button to start a drag. A double-click opens the item on the second release, and starting a drag cancels the open action. Double-click distance detection also follows the system setting |
| 8 | Fixed | Windows: fixed sudden window size changes and the dragged edge moving away from the pointer when resizing across monitors with different scaling. The dragged edge continues to follow the pointer across monitors |
| 9 | Fixed | Fixed statistics-column tooltips appearing away from their row when grouping is enabled |
| 10 | Fixed | Fixed a horizontal scrollbar remaining at the bottom of a collapsed sidebar pane |
