Sidedesk for macOS v1.3 Updates
05/30/2025 Filed in: Sidedesk
I've started working on some updates for macOS app Sidedesk.
v1.3 Updates:
Shifted side pane items to toolbar. Removed Element Drop icon and function. New items drop at center of current view. Moved Filter to toolbar. Added menu Item “Options” Moved “Size” combobox to new “Options” Menu. Renamed to “Default Element Size”. Added Canvas context option for Reset Zoom and Re-center option. Moved “Default Element Size” to options menu. Fixed websites not opening. Added Drag/drop for files and folders. Added Element context option to change Element Size. Improved Selection logic. Changed selection logic for individual files, folders, and websites. Added click canvas background to deselect (files/folders). Changed listview to custom selection. Added gridview selection. Changed listview & gridview drag locations. Can now only drag from icon/name. Changed listview & gridview expand/collapse to include name area. Added background for grid view. Removed border. Updated elements’ context menus options. Changed Notes, so the element name acts as Note Title. Changed element name, so it allows for a blank name. Added Mac QuickLook of Items. Changed Navigation items from Reorder pop-up to just reordering them within navigation view via drag/drop.

I am still working on a few remaining items, then I am going to test the app for a few days, then I'll release v1.3 update.
v1.3 Updates:
- Setup Drag/Drop of Image to add an “ImageElement”, when Option key held while dropping, as opposed to showing the file.
- Setup Drag/Drop of folders to add them as a ListView when Option key held while dropping.
- Setup Drag/Drop of folders to add them as a GridView when Command key held while dropping.
