RetroDir 1.0.1

Download: RetroDir.dmg below. Open it and drag RetroDir to Applications. Universal app (Apple silicon + Intel), macOS 13 or later, signed and notarized.

Fixed

• Cmd-T from a panel now opens the terminal in that panel's current folder. Before, it always brought back the first terminal tab in whatever folder it started in. If a tab is already in that folder, RetroDir switches to it; otherwise it opens a new tab there. Shells that are busy (an ssh session, an editor) are never changed.
• The About box now shows the correct version number.
