spacebar v0.2.0

Press Space. See everything.

What's new

• Folder previews are on by default. Space on a folder opens it in spacebar. Existing users are switched on once; turn it off in Settings › Sidebar.
• Space in Finder opens spacebar for more files: code and scripts, JSON, YAML, XML, TOML, property lists and archives, as well as Markdown. Apple keeps Space for .txt, HTML, CSV, PDF, images and most audio and video; press Space on the folder and pick them in the sidebar.
• Every file in the folder previews in one pane:
  • HTML pages. Scripts run for pages not marked as downloaded; files from git clone, curl, unzip or a USB drive aren't marked. Downloaded pages get no scripts and no web loads. Settings › Advanced › Scripts in HTML files › Never turns scripts off.
  • Video and audio in the native player, paused until you press play.
  • Archive contents, listed without extracting.
  • Binary property lists, shown as XML.
  • Finder thumbnails for everything else.
• Sidebar filter.
• Report a Problem and Uninstall in Settings.
• One-click Update. Quick Look shows an error for a moment while spacebar updates; press Space again after.

Install

curl -fsSL https://spacebar.patebryant.com/install.sh | sh

spacebar is not notarized: use the install command; a browser download will be blocked by Gatekeeper.

Releases are signed with one stable, self-signed identity ("spacebar Release"). If you are upgrading from v0.1.0, which was ad-hoc signed, you may see one macOS prompt about spacebar's data; allow it. Later updates keep the same signer and should not ask again.

Uninstall

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/patebry/spacebar/main/scripts/uninstall.sh | sh
