v1.2.0 - Golden Gate

New: press Option Enter on any version to replace the original file in place.

Also fixed in this release:

• Modifier restores (Cmd Enter, Option Enter) lost the file reference and failed with copy errors. Every mod now carries the full file paths, with a fallback and a clear error if they ever go missing.
• macOS 27 Golden Gate support from v1.1.5: mount-table discovery, honest Full Disk Access check, restore results shown in the notification instead of a fixed Finished message.

Shortcut recap:

• Enter restores a (Restored) copy next to the original
• Cmd Enter restores a copy to your Home folder
• Option Enter replaces the original in place (no undo)

If restores fail after updating, open System Settings, Privacy and Security, Full Disk Access, remove and re-add Alfred, then restart Alfred.

v1.1.5 - Golden Gate support

Fixes Time Machine discovery on macOS 27 (Golden Gate).

What changed:

• Backup discovery now uses the mount table, so versions are found even with the new privacy restrictions. No more empty version list.
• Full Disk Access check rewritten. It no longer reports a false positive, and restore fails fast with a clear message telling you to enable FDA for Alfred and restart it.
• Restore notifications now show the real result. The old unconditional Finished message could claim success when nothing was restored.
• Fixed version list titles showing the Mac name instead of dates.

If restores fail after updating, open System Settings, Privacy and Security, Full Disk Access, remove and re-add Alfred, then restart Alfred. macOS updates can revoke the permission.
