What's new in 0.30.2

Fixes since 0.30.1:

  • macOS: copying or moving onto a volume that ran out of space (or hit another write error) never finished — the transfer stalled at high CPU and could only be cancelled. The error is now reported and the item fails like on other systems (GAP-049).
  • macOS: application bundles (.app) showed "96 B" in the size column before their folder size was calculated. The cell now stays empty until the size is known, like a folder (GAP-050).

New setting:

  • Appearance → "Keep the main window active while a dialog is open" (window.dialog_keeps_active, on by default). On keeps the current behavior: while one of Nexa Dir's own dialogs (modal or modeless) has focus, the main window keeps its focused transparency. Off treats the main window as inactive as soon as a dialog takes focus, so the unfocused transparency applies.

Behavior changes:

  • Window transparency defaults: focused 0 % → 5 %, unfocused 20 % → 10 %. Values you already changed in settings are kept; only the defaults move.

Nexa Dir 0.30.2

Cross-platform lightweight dual-panel file explorer (successor of nexa-dir2; the same screen on Windows, macOS and Linux) — installers plus a Windows portable zip.

OS File Install
Windows x64 nexa-dir-0.30.2-windows-x64.msi Double-click, or msiexec /i … /qn (silent; optional PATH entry)
macOS (Universal · Apple Silicon/Intel) nexa-dir-0.30.2-macos-universal.pkg Run the installer → /Applications/Nexa Dir.app + /usr/local/bin/nexa-dir link
macOS (drag-to-Applications) nexa-dir-0.30.2-macos-universal.dmg Drag and drop; see the note inside the dmg for the CLI link
Linux x86_64 (deb) nexa-dir_0.30.2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i or sudo apt install ./…deb
Linux x86_64 (rpm) nexa-dir-0.30.2-1.x86_64.rpm sudo dnf install ./…rpm
Windows x64 (portable) nexa-dir-0.30.2-windows-x64-portable.zip Unzip and run nexa-dir.exe (settings go to a data folder next to the exe if present, otherwise %APPDATA%\nexa-dir); in a console (PowerShell) use ndir.exe, e.g. ndir --selfcheck

Every package also bundles nexa-copy, the command-line copy/move tool built on the same transfer engine (nexa-copy --help: --move --verify (also verifies cross-volume moves before the source is removed) --mirror --by-content --dry-run --include/--exclude --max-bps <rate> --journal <file>/--resume <file> --job <file.json> --progress --report <file>). MSI/pkg/deb/rpm put it on PATH; the portable zip (winget/choco) exposes it as a command alias.

The same engine is also bundled as a C library, ndir_xfer (ndir_xfer.dll next to the exe on Windows · Contents/Frameworks/libndir_xfer.dylib on macOS · /usr/lib/nexa-dir/libndir_xfer.so on Linux) with its header include/ndir_xfer.h: ndir_xfer_run(job_json, progress_cb, user, cancel) takes the same job JSON as nexa-copy --job and returns a report JSON (ndir_xfer_abi_version() = 1).

Verify downloads with sha256sums.txt. Uninstall: Windows Apps & features · macOS sudo "/Applications/Nexa Dir.app/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh" · Linux dpkg -r nexa-dir / dnf remove nexa-dir.
User data (settings, sessions, favorites, rename presets) lives in the settings folder and is kept on uninstall. Settings from 0.22.0 and earlier (nexa-dir2) are imported once on first start.

Package managers

winget install SosomLab.NexaDir            # Windows MSI (replaces the 0.22.0 Inno installer)
winget install SosomLab.NexaDir.Portable   # Windows portable
choco  install nexa-dir                    # Windows MSI
choco  install nexa-dir.portable           # Windows portable
brew install --cask kiros33/tap/nexa-dir   # macOS (Universal pkg)

Linux (apt/rpm repository): https://pkg.sosomlab.com

The winget and Chocolatey commands work once the central reviews are through; nexa-dir-0.30.2-package-manifests.zip attached here is the exact submission.

Signing

Builds made without a code-signing key are flagged by macOS Gatekeeper and Windows SmartScreen (signed builds on request).

  • macOS: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Nexa Dir.app" (the brew Cask does this for you)
  • Windows: SmartScreen → "More info" → "Run anyway"
