v0.29.2
v0.29.2 was released on 2026-10-24. This release adds density controls for individual interface areas, reading settings and a settings tab, expands terminal mouse input, search and text display, and fixes folder size updates, window effects and list scrolling.
Warning
Downgrading to v0.29.1 or earlier loses the four area-specific density settings, reading settings, custom terminal shortcuts, the Use Option as Meta Key setting and the Direct3D 11 graphics API selection. Older versions do not recognize these settings.
New
| # | Kind | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | New | Spacing in Settings is renamed to UI Density, with a wider range of 50%–200%. It adjusts spacing without changing text size. File List, Icons & Thumbnails, Sidebar and Buttons & Tabs can each be adjusted separately. |
| 2 | New | Appearance settings now include Reading, where you can set the font, font size and line spacing used by text previews and text editor tabs independently of the interface. |
| 3 | New | Open Settings in a Tab lets you view and change settings in a tab. |
| 4 | New | Programs that support mouse input, such as vim and htop, can receive clicks, drags and wheel input in terminal tabs. Hold Shift to select text. |
| 5 | New | Terminal tabs support searching output text. The default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+F, or ⌘+F on macOS. |
| 6 | New | Terminal tabs recognize URLs and hyperlinks. Dropping a file into a terminal inserts its path. |
| 7 | New | Long terminal lines rewrap when the terminal width changes. Double-click to select a word, or triple-click to select a whole line. |
| 8 | New | Terminal tabs support italics, strikethrough, underline styles and cursor shapes, with improved display of combining characters and emoji. |
| 9 | New | Terminal shortcuts can be changed in the keybinding settings. |
| 10 | New | macOS: adds the Use Option as Meta Key setting. |
| 11 | New | Windows: Graphics API now includes Direct3D 11, which can reduce idle memory usage and takes effect after a restart. The default remains DirectX 12. Direct3D 11 is still being validated; if rendering problems occur, switch back to DirectX 12 or Auto. |
| 12 | New | Portable devices, such as phones, now show file sizes, modification times and storage capacity. |
Improved
| # | Kind | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 13 | Improved | Context menus, tooltips and dropdown menus follow UI Density. If Spacing was previously set to a value other than 100%, tabs, navigation buttons, footer buttons and menus also use that scale after upgrading. |
| 14 | Improved | In terminal tabs, Ctrl+L and Alt+F are passed to the shell. |
| 15 | Improved | When files being deleted to the same recycle bin exceed its capacity limit in total, tessoa asks whether to permanently delete them as a group. |
Fixed
| # | Kind | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 16 | Fixed | Fixes parent folder sizes not updating after files change in deeply nested subfolders. |
| 17 | Fixed | Fixes acrylic or mica window effects disappearing after a restart, and a brief black window during startup when these effects are enabled. |
| 18 | Fixed | Fixes the list starting to scroll one row too early when moving the selection with arrow keys. |
| 19 | Fixed | Fixes terminal flickering when dragging to change the window width. |
| 20 | Fixed | Fixes crowded text when the settings window is too narrow. |
| 21 | Fixed | File sizes now use PB and EB units, instead of continuing to show long values in TB at 1024 TB and above. |
