Fetch 5.8.2
Fetch Softworks has released Fetch 5.8.2, adding support for M1-based Macs. The update to the venerable file transfer client also corrects a problem with sorting the file list while searching, fixes a bug where dragged items were uploaded into the last folder of the file list, resolves multiple problems with dragging items between transfer windows, adds support for servers that use 0.0.0.0 for passive mode, restores support for opening a transfer window by clicking the Dock icon, corrects a problem with up- and down-arrow keys when keyboard navigation is enabled, and fixes a bug with mirror downloads not deleting stray items. ($29 new from Fetch Softworks with a 20% discount for TidBITS members and free for educational users, free update, 9.8 MB, release notes, macOS 10.13+)
It failed to update from Fetch 5.8.1 on a MacBookPro (15-inch 2016) running macOS Big Sur Version 11.1. The pop up seems to show the download advancing to completion but when I click the install relaunch nothing happens.
Unfortunately there’s a bug in the 5.8.1 auto update code on Big Sur. It’s fixed in 5.8.2, but to get the fix you have to download 5.8.2 from https://fetchsoftworks.com/fetch/download/latest and drag install it.
Sorry about that,
