New Features
System Clipboard Integration
Copy and paste files, folders, and images between Sigma File Manager and other apps through the system clipboard.
- Cross-app file transfer: copy or cut items in SFM and paste them into apps like File Explorer, or paste paths and files copied from other apps into the navigator with Ctrl+V;
- Image paste: paste images copied from browsers and other apps directly into a folder;
- Conflict dialogs: when pasted items already exist, choose Rename or Merge, and resolve individual file conflicts with Replace, Skip, Keep both, or Apply to all;
- Clipboard toolbar: optional toolbar preview for images and file paths copied in other apps;
Toolbar visibility can be controlled in Settings > UI appearance > Clipboard. Paste with Ctrl+V still works when the toolbar is hidden.
Box Selection
Drag on empty space in the navigator to select multiple items with a selection box.
- Modifiers: hold Ctrl or Shift to add to the current selection; hold Alt to invert;
- Easier targeting: optionally increase list padding and grid gaps for more room to start a drag;
Enable in Settings > General > File view > Enable box selection.
Linked Split View
New Linked split view mode for a simpler column-style workflow: clicking a folder in the first pane shows that folder's contents in the second pane.
The existing independent Split mode is unchanged. Choose the mode from the navigator options menu under Split view mode, or toggle split view with Ctrl+S.
Link Handling
Create and inspect filesystem links from the navigator.
- Create link: create symbolic links, shortcuts, hard links, and junctions from the context menu (Create link);
- Link columns: optional list columns for Kind, Links, Link target, and Link status (Valid, Broken, Unknown, Unsupported);
- Open behavior: directory shortcuts and symlink folders navigate to their targets; other link targets open with the default app;
Native Properties Window
On Windows, open the native system Properties dialog for selected items from the context menu, actions menu, Alt+Enter, or Alt + double-click.
