What's New?
-macOS Catalina compatibility. On the GM seed of macOS Catalina File Cabinet Pro would crash on launch. Version 7.3.1 fixes this issue. File Cabinet Pro users should update to 7.3.1 from File Cabinet Pro's Settings window (unless purchased from the Mac App Store) before updating their OS to 10.15 when it is released to avoid having to manually download the update.

-Fixed minor bug in macOS that caused the move tool not to work in the image viewer on 10.14 and 10.15.
-Fixed minor UI bug that sometimes caused the close button in the tab bar to disappear on mouse hover on macOS 10.15.
-Fixed issue that could sometimes cause the document version browser to automatically close immediately after it was opened.

Happy New Year!

File Cabinet Pro version 7.9.5 update is out today.

New in this version:
-When viewing a long list of files in List view right-clicking on the background of List view was difficult. Now when you right-click on the status bar at the bottom of the window the context menu shows the same menu items displayed when you right-click on the background of the content view. This makes invoking the actions displayed in this context menu easier when lots of files are displayed.

File Cabinet Pro is $29.99 (sold on AppTyrant.com here). There also is a "regular" version on the Mac App Store that is currently $9.99. The main difference between the two versions is that File Cabinet Pro supports setting up a 'File Cabinet' folder in iCloud. This feature is not available on the Mac App Store version.
[doublepost=1465492632][/doublepost]
I do plan to release a demo version, but I don't have an ETA on that at this time.

I see the Mac Store version is now also $29.99. Is there still the difference between the one from AppTyrant.com and the Mac App Store? I have three computers and the 2 computer limitation from the AppTyrant.com is not appealing as the Mac Store version will not have this restriction. Can you clarify?

Note: You may use a single license on up to two Mac computers.

Hi,

Apologies for the delayed response. The main difference between the two versions now is that the Mac App Store version is sandboxed (as required by Apple for App Store apps) and the version sold on AppTyrant.com is not. Essentially what this means for you as a user is that the Mac App Store version has less permissions out of the box, and to use certain features may require a little more configuration by you.

As an example, on the Mac App Store version the "Favorites" sidebar section is empty out of the box. On the version of the App sold on AppTyrant.com there is a default list of Favorites including the Documents, Pictures, Applications, etc.

You can add/remove directories to/from the "Favorites" sidebar on both versions but the Mac App Store version is more restricted, by default. For the most part we try to keep features the same on both versions, unless it isn't technically possible.

Note: You may use a single license on up to two Mac computers.
--
The two computer limit on a license key is used to promote fair usage of a single license. You are correct that App Store purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you have any more questions about the app feel free to get in touch with me here: https://apptyrant.com/contact/
