Files Companion 1.3.0 — installing it is now one line

New

A one-click install path, built for networks where github.com does not
answer. Paste this into PowerShell and it fetches the newest release and starts
it:

irm https://ghfast.top/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dannyzzy/Files-Companion/main/Install-FilesCompanion.cmd -OutFile "$env:TEMP\fc-install.cmd"; & "$env:TEMP\fc-install.cmd"

What makes it worth having rather than just a download link:

  • It downloads through PowerShell, not curl. An accelerator sets a Windows
    proxy that curl ignores — so "the browser opens GitHub, but the download times
    out at 0 bytes" is a real state on a real machine. Measured here, not guessed.
  • Direct first, then the ghfast.top mirror, so it works
    with or without an accelerator.
  • The download is size-checked. A truncated transfer or an error page never
    reaches the installer pretending to be one.
  • It never fails quietly. When both channels fail it prints every address it
    tried, plus the manual steps.

Changed

  • The title bar now reads as two levels. The app name and the version number
    used to sit in one flat grey line; the name is now brighter and the version
    recedes, so the eye lands on the brand first.
  • Screenshots in the README are re-shot at this version — the published installer
    screenshot still said 1.2.0.

Also in this release

Everything from 1.2.3, for anyone upgrading from 1.2.2 or earlier: --verify
no longer reports a working, hand-installed Recycle Bin as missing, and
--doctor reports the real display DPI (120 at 125% scaling) instead of a
virtualised 96.
