Release notes 1.0.0

First release of DuoNavigator, a keyboard-first dual-pane file manager for macOS.

Improvements

  • Two panes with tabs, a sidebar with disks, standard folders, Favorites and Finder tags, and a clickable path bar in each pane.
  • Safe copy, move, rename and trash. When a name already exists you choose: Keep Both, Replace, Replace if Older, Replace if Different, Rename Existing, or merge folders. Replaced items go to the Trash.
  • Rename with a mask in the Copy/Move dialog (F5/F6): abc.* renames a.docx and a.pdf to abc.docx and abc.pdf.
  • Batch rename, Sync Folders and Find Files (with Spotlight), with presets you can run from the sidebar.
  • Folder sizes and a folder breakdown that shows what a folder’s space is made of.
  • Quick Look, a text viewer and editor, and ZIP archives.

Fixes

Known issues

  • Tested on macOS 27 on Apple Silicon. The Intel version was tested only under Rosetta 2, not on Intel hardware or on macOS 14–26.
