WorkSpace Manager 2.0.8 refines the app experience with a more consistent native menu, smarter Finder behavior, and expanded terminal support.
- Native macOS Menu Follows App Language — The menu bar now respects the language chosen in the app settings, including titles and common entries automatically injected by macOS.
- Multiple Terminals per Workspace — The Terminal & Commands section can now define multiple folders and commands, all launched at once when the workspace opens, while keeping compatibility with single-terminal setups.
- Smarter Finder Group Reopening — The “Reopen Group” command first closes the tracked group before reopening it, avoiding duplicate windows when the group was already open.
- Help Menu Linked to Official Website — The WorkSpace Help menu item now points directly to the app’s official website for quick access to documentation and support.
- French Release Notes for Sparkle — French release notes (
notes-fr.html) have been added to the Sparkle feed, and the release/appcast script now generates update links forit,en, andfr. - Stable Native View Menu — The native macOS View menu is kept active to prevent intermittent re-insertions, and native panel/tab entries have been removed without deleting the menu itself.
- Improved Menu Bar Localization — Menu titles are normalized and updated during
menuNeedsUpdate, so macOS‑generated entries also follow the app language. - Smoother Menu Bar Behavior — Menu bar synchronization has been stabilized, eliminating freezes when opening menus.
WorkSpace Manager 2.0.7 modernizes the app experience with a full Settings refresh and clearer Finder controls.
- Liquid Glass Design — Settings and selection tabs now use native materials, translucency, and a more spacious visual language inspired by modern macOS.
- Animated Onboarding — First-time users are welcomed by a smoother Apple-style intro animation.
- Better Finder Controls — Folder ordering is clearer, more responsive, and easier to understand at a glance.
- Finder Group Button — The group selector is now a rounded, readable button instead of a compact dropdown.
- Accidental Close Recovery — A new in-app popup lets you quickly reopen folders and related workspaces closed by mistake.
- French Localization — Full French language support has been added.
- Smart Numeric Badges — Workspace configurations now show counts for Apps, Websites, and Files without opening each section.
- Improved Symbol Legend — The legend now explains the new indicators more clearly.
We have completely redesigned how folders are handled. It's no longer just about tabs; it's about absolute order and organization.
- Unified Paths — No more distinction between "Main" and "Additional" folders. A single, streamlined list for everything.
- Deterministic Opening Order — Folders open exactly in the order you set them in the UI. Every time.
- Window Groups (Pro) — Truly decide which folders open as tabs and which open in separate windows.
- Manual Sorting UI — New directional arrows to easily move folders up or down within your groups.
- Smart Activation — The app intelligently detects already open folders and avoids opening redundant windows or tabs.
- Reliable Persistence — A new saving engine ensures your window group configurations are never lost.
🔒 Advanced Window Grouping and Tab support is a Pro feature (Demo included for Free users).
