What's changed

Faster

• Scanning a home folder takes about 15 seconds instead of about 40 on our test Mac. DiskPilot no longer opens the thousands of empty folders inside other apps' containers, where macOS checks every folder opened. Results are the same.
• Moving files to the Trash is much faster: DiskPilot no longer waits on Finder for each file. A progress bar, the amount moved and the file being handled show while it works.
• Long lists open and scroll smoothly. Files by type and Largest items show 100 rows a page, Duplicates 50 sets a page, and the cleanup review 50 items a page.
• The window no longer redraws everything many times a second while a scan runs, and thumbnails for the rows you are looking at load first.

Numbers update at once

• After a cleanup or emptying the Trash, the totals, categories, folder sizes, Largest items, Files by type and Cleanup change straight away. No scan needed.
• Items moved to the Trash count in the Trash until you empty it, since they still use disk space.

Quieter

• DiskPilot moves items to the Trash itself instead of asking Finder, so Finder's Trash sound no longer plays for every batch. Items are in the Trash as usual and can be dragged back out, but Finder may not offer Put Back for them.
• New, soft sounds: a quiet tone while a scan runs, and a gentle chime when a scan or cleanup finishes. Nothing plays while the window is hidden. Turn them off in Settings > Appearance.

Keyboard shortcuts

• ⌘1 to ⌘8 open each page in the sidebar, and ⌘, opens Settings.
• ⌘R scans again, ⌘. stops a scan, and ⌘F filters the list on the page.
• ⌘/ shows every shortcut. It is also in Settings > About.
