This release fixes some important bugs and introduces some new features and changes. Read the details.

• Dragging a file out of Blast window will close the window to allow access to space below it.
• It’s now possible to drag a file from Finder to Blast’s icon in the menu. When the file is over Blast’s icon, the window will open and will allow you to move the file to the Sidebar for easy later access to it.
• Change: Dragging icons from the sidebar now acts like dragging from recent list – i.e. you can drag them to drop in other applications. To remove an item from sidebar, select it and either press Delete/Backspace or use right-click menu.
• Applications that are on the sidebar can now be used to open recent files. Just put the application on the sidebar and later drag a file from recent list on to the application to open it with this specific application. It’s also still possible to drag files onto folders in the sidebar to move them to these folders.
• The applications on the sidebar are now also always added to Open With… menu item for recent files, on the bottom, after a separator.
• Last used view (filter) is now saved between launches. Blast will open on the same view as it was closed.
• FIX: Improved performance. Occasionally Blast used a lot of CPU for periods of time, causing slow OS operation.
• FIX. In 1.7.1 it was impossible to drag files from Recent list to side bar.
• FIX (not in 1.7.2 on Mac App Store): Blast window will now always open below the icon. Previously, when switching to lower-resolution display, Blast window might appear incorrectly on screen, making it unusable.

Update from within Blast, App Store or download from Blast download page.

Version 1.7.0 adds multiple files selection, QuickLook previews (10.6+), Evernote integration (send files to Evernote), more tracked files and bug fixes. Below are the full release notes.

The version is already available on our site (check for updates from within Blast menu or download here). We’ll soon submit it to the Mac App Store as well but it usually takes about a week for new versions to appear there. So if you’re a Mac App Store customer, you might need to wait longer.

• Multiple files selection – you can now select multiple files by clicking on them with Shift or with Cmd keys. You can then drag them all or right-click to get a menu relevant to all these files.
• Evernote integration – you can now send files to Evernote, even to specific notebooks. Evernote for Mac is required for this.
• Quicklook previews – Pressing space while on a file or files in the recent files list will now show these files in a Quicklook panel a-la Finder. The shortcut to reveal the selected files in Finder is now Cmd-Return, instead of Space, like in previous versions.
• Separated lists of files in each filter. Now each filtered view has its own list of files, so if you add a lot of images, for example, they won’t remove your documents or applications. The “All Files” view will show the combined list of all these filters and may now be much longer.
• A new setting in Preferences allows selecting the number of files you want to have in your recent list, per filter. Increased the maximum number to 500 files per filter. So the “All files” view can now reach 3000 files.
• You can sign to Blast newsletter right from within the application (in the menu).
• Documents modified by other users on your Mac, which are also logged in will now not show in Blast.
• Fixed a bug where folders and applications wouldn’t be tracked by Blast if “Opened Files” setting was checked off.
• Fixed automatic checking of new versions, which was broken in 1.6.5 for most users.
• Added debugging log (accessible with Cmd-L). May be helpful if you want to know why something’s invisible in Blast or need to give more information to our support.

Several users complained that Blast would sometimes use up to 100% of CPU during large file operations such as copying folders with large amount of files. I’m sure other users experienced this as well but didn’t notice or did not report. This update should improve the performance of adding files to Blast tenfolds or even more.

A bug was fixed where no files were added to Blast if both “Show folders” and “Show opened” settings in Preferences were unchecked.

A tooltip that appeared when hovering over files in the list now displays full path name instead of the modification time. This is more useful in cases that the path or file name are long.

Lastly, we’ve added a “Send Feedback” form. You can now send feature requests, bugs and support issues right from within Blast. Accessible from the menu.

Everyone are encouraged to update. You can autoupdate from Blast’s menu.

1. We made the new detonator icon, introduced in 1.6, less ugly. I added some rounded corners and made letter B a bit wider and softer. The whole icon looks much softer now.
2. I brought the old icon back as well, as an option. You can now select which icon you want to see on your menu bar in the preferences:

• NEW: Made highlighting of selected item lighter.
• NEW: Hide folder and application kinds buttons if user selected not to track them
• NEW: Show about window attached to the icon, on first launch, to help new users find Blast’s menu bar icon.
• NEW: Added help image to default sidebar. This is only available for new users. Help image can always be accessible from the menu.
• FIX: Handle close to screen edge situation, which made Blast’s window go off screen.
