CloudPool 1.7.0: a folder as a wall of pictures

Open a folder and see what is in it, not a list of file names.

A wall of pictures

• Two buttons at the top right of a folder switch between the list and a grid of tiles. CloudPool remembers which one you prefer.
• Photos and videos, Illustrator and Photoshop files, PDFs, Word, Excel, Keynote, HEIC and camera raw all show what is actually inside them.
• Arrow keys move through the grid a row at a time, space shows a file full size, and selection, menus and dragging work exactly as they do in the list.

Built on the preview, so it is quick

• A file drawn for its tile opens full size instantly when you press space, and a file you have previewed already has its tile.
• A folder you have looked at before comes back in a blink: the pictures are kept on this computer.
• Files too big to be worth fetching for a tile keep their icon, and a file nothing can draw is remembered as such, so the same file never slows a folder down twice.

Private folders stay private

• Pictures drawn from a drive's private folder go to a folder belonging to this run of CloudPool, wiped when it locks and when it closes. Encrypted files leave nothing behind.

Install this over your current version; from 1.5.0 you can install it from inside CloudPool.
