Finder-Win v1.5.2

Finder-Win 1.5.2

✨ New

• Recycle Bin in the sidebar (last row under Locations; the icon shows empty / full) – deleted items with Original Location, Date Deleted and Size (sortable), Restore, Delete Permanently and Empty Recycle Bin (both with confirmation). Restore never overwrites an existing item. Also in the command palette (“Recycle Bin”, “Empty Recycle Bin”).
• Continue as Administrator – deleting, moving, copying/pasting, renaming, duplicating and creating folders in protected places (e.g. the root of C:) now offers “Continue as Administrator” and Windows asks for confirmation (UAC), like File Explorer. The app itself does not run as administrator. Operations done as administrator are not added to Undo.
• Shift+Delete deletes permanently (with confirmation).
• Clearer error messages – each failed item is named with the reason (permission denied, used by another app, doesn't exist, disk full, read-only …); unknown errors show the technical detail under Details.

🐛 Fixed

• Deleting in protected places failed with a bare “Some operations were aborted”.

Full changelog: v1.5.1...v1.5.2

Finder-Win is now also available in the Microsoft Store.
