Quay

Licence: Shareware (€7)
Version 1.1 | Release Date: 2008-05-09 | Download
  • Dragging out a plain folder from the Quay window now keeps the folder icon.
  • The Dock's selected icon name display is now suppressed correctly in all cases. I think.
  • The background application no longer loads Contextual Menu Plugins (which it never used, anyway).
  • Works around a Leopard bug which would mess up the menu location after unplugging the monitor the menu bar was on.
  • The icon for plain folders dragged out of the Quay window is again a folder icon.
  • Fixed small errors in the French localization.
Version 1.1b2 | Release Date: 2008-02-13 | Download
  • Supports Mac OS X 10.5.2 properly (previous versions didn't).
  • Now recovers properly when the Dock is restarted.
  • The Installer window now has a Quit button always visible.
  • The Installer searches and trashes 1.0.x Quay applications, and puts a symbolic link to the new application in their place.
  • The Installer puts a symbolic link to the Quay application inside ~/Applications (if present; otherwise, inside /Applications).
  • Now shows an error popup if you click on a server that has been unmounted, instead of freezing.
  • Now shows the opt-cmd-click popup even if you have Dashboard in the Dock.
  • opt-cmd-clicking on a URL item in the Dock will show a popup with a clickable URL.
  • All Quay popups now have a "Open Quay..." item at the top.
  • Better permission checking on the installed application, and better error messages if that fails.
  • Shows a better error message if no administrator authentication is canceled.
  • Renamed an internal resource file to avoid misleading DiskWarrior error reports.
  • If a Stack was on an unmounted disk image or server, the error popup now shows where it was.
Version 1.1b1 | Release Date: 2008-02-06 | Download
  • Quay now works transparently on your Stack folders in the Dock, and uses the exact same clicks used for the Dock.
  • Quay overlays a white gradient arrow over the clicked icon so you can easily see which menus are Quay's and which are the Dock's.
  • New sort options; including by Label, by Application, and Unsorted; the alphabetical sort now shows the exact order used by the Finder.
  • Can now show 64×64-pixel icons with QuickLook previews.
  • 10-fold speed improvement over the previous version, especially for large folders.
  • Alias indicators in the menus are gone, but you can now show Labels, dates, folder counts or file sizes.
  • The menu width is now limited to a reasonable value and too-long filenames are truncated in the middle.
  • If you select larger icons, longer filenames are shown in multiple lines.
  • Keyboard navigation is now fully supported.
  • Improved error message if you try to run it on a pre-Leopard system.
  • "Popular" folder names are now localized.
  • More "Popular" icons.
  • You can now place Quay icons on both sides of the Dock.
  • You can now see your full serial number after registering.
  • The serial number text field now accepts copy&paste; it still won't accept drag&drop, and the help text has been amended for that.
  • Fixed a bug where closing the registration window prematurely would "hang" the application.
  • General menu appearance and alignment has been improved.
  • You can copy and paste custom icons from the main Quay window.
  • New installer runs from distribution disk image; it also uninstalls.
Version 1.1 | Release Date: 2007-12-01 | Download
  • You can now do custom badges and base icons, and if you select a readable image file, the file itself will be read. (Hold down Option while clicking on "Open" in the dialog, to always use the file's icon.)
  • Added "Show Contents of..." item to the bottom of the popup menus.
  • Suppresses the alias indicator if you select icons->none.
  • Menu positioning is now correct, even with long filenames.
  • Now "shows contents" correctly, even if your Finder is not in Column View mode.
  • Now brings applications to the front when starting.
  • Fixed badge alignments and menu checkmarks which were off in some cases.
  • "/" in folder names now works correctly.
  • Double-click timing is a little better but not good enough; this is proving surprisingly hard to implement correctly. If it doesn't work for you, use Option-Command-click until I solve it.
Version 1.0b6 | Release Date: 2007-11-24 | Download
  • Contextual menu for the icon now allows extensive coloring, badging and customizing.
  • Properly hides special folders like /Network.
  • Aliases and symlinks are now followed in all cases.
  • The Quay database in ~/Library/Application Support is now smaller and more aggressively cleaned.
  • It's no longer possible to navigate into the Quay database by mistake.
  • Command-clicking or double-clicking now shows the folder in the Finder.
  • The main window now flips over to show the About/Help window.
  • Several small bug and user interface fixes.
  • Now features 8 custom Drawer badges, made especially for Quay by Yasushi Chida.
