Trickster 2.0.2 brings Retina support and more features

A direct release of Trickster version 2.0.2 is available now. A Mac App Store version is not yet released.

The new version brings full support for the Retina displays on the new MacBook Pros. It also adds a number of new usability features and lots of bug fixes.

Not many people have the Retina Macs yet, but we wanted to delight those who have them and also be ready for future updates to the Mac lineup. Trickster looks gorgeous on the Retina. Sorry, only a portion of the screen can fit the space on the blog.

Full release notes are below the screenshot.

Trickster Window in Retina
  • It’s now possible to drop files from Finder or other apps onto the Recent files list to add them to the list.
  • It’s also possible to drop dragged files on the menu bar icon to add them to the list. From there you can add to Favorites or use Trickster as a temporary “holding area” before dragging them to other applications.
  • Full support for Retina displays
  • Return to items list from search with up/down arrows.
  • Type to search from every part of the window.
  • Remove items from list with Delete/Backspace
  • Added Remove commands to the pop-up menu.
  • Trash files with Command-delete.
  • Add Trash to pop-up menu.
  • Accept “.” in manual extensions in filters and index.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed various crashes
  • Fixed watching the root path.
  • Fixed drag and drop support with some apps, such as Skype and Illustrator.
  • Fixed the creation of excluded files from context menu.
  • Fixed different window resizing problems and Favorites bar drawing.
  • Fixed support for Bartender app

You can download Trickster from our site or use the built-in update mechanism to update your copy.

    It has been almost two months now since the release of 2.0.2 without an update to the app store version. I'm really looking forward to the features of 2.0.2.

    Will an upgrade to the app store version come any time soon, or is there a problem with the sandboxing restrictions? If so, is there an upgrade path to a non-app store version?

    thanks for a great application! Tobi

    Hi Tobi,

    This is Kosta from Apparent Software. Sorry for delayed response - your comment seemed to fall between the cracks :)

    As you correctly assumed, the latest release of Trickster was rejected by Apple due to sandboxing restrictions. We tried convincing them, but to no avail. As sandboxing Trickster will essentially castrate it, we have no choice but to release new versions only directly (non on App Store).

    You are welcome to get a free direct license by contacting our support and leaving your full name, email and iTunes receipt for purchase of Trickster.

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Kosta Rozen Apparent Software

    Hi Kosta,

    Came across this thread just today, after quite some searching around to find out why my (App store) copy of Trickster wasn't getting all the new goodness.

    You say we can contact support to get a license transfer, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that other than leave my personal details in the public discussion area which I'd rather not do. Can you give me a hint?

    Ah, there are private discussions as well.

    D'oh.
