What's new

  • Choose where your settings live. Settings → General → Change location… moves your config and folder history to any folder, such as a synced one. Use default moves them back. If the folder already has Folderite settings, you choose whether to use those or replace them; the replaced files are kept as .bak.
  • Portable mode from Settings. Pick Folderite's own folder and Folderite becomes portable: its settings travel with the folder, for example on a USB stick. From portable mode you can move them out again the same way.
  • New icon for the app, the tray, the taskbar and the Settings window.

Moving settings restarts Folderite in the background and reopens Settings in place. If anything goes wrong, nothing changes: your files stay where they were.

Install or upgrade

  1. Install the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime (x64) if you don't have it.
  2. Quit Folderite from the tray, unzip Folderite-0.2.0-win-x64.zip over your Folderite folder, and start Folderite.exe again. Your settings are kept. In portable mode, don't delete the config.json in that folder.

Requires Windows 10 1903 or later; Windows 11 recommended.

Known limits

  • Saving from Settings rewrites config.json, so // comments in it are not kept.
  • Total Commander with non-ASCII paths and XYplorer paths with spaces are not tested yet.
  • Elevated (admin) windows only work if Folderite also runs elevated.
