What's new

v3.6 [Oct 25, 2021]
Version 3.6.1 fixes "Launch Yoink at login", and fixes a minor annoyance with temporary files created within Shortcuts.app.
Version 3.6 brought full compatibility and support for macOS Monterey with these features and improvements:
- [macOS Monterey] Build powerful workflows with Yoink's Shortcuts app integration
- Fixed a bug where files handed off to Yoink sometimes would have no file path extension
- Fixed a bug where "Launch at login" wouldn't reflect its state accurately
***
If you enjoy Yoink, please consider leaving a rating or a review on the App Stores - it would help me out a lot!
If you'd like to learn more about me, my apps and their development, I'd like to invite you to follow me on my blog (https://blog.eternalstorms.at), on twitter (@eternalstorms), instagram (@eternalstorms) or Facebook (https://facebook.com/eternalstorms). I'm looking forward to connecting with you!

v3.4 [Oct 3, 2017]

- Improvement: Long-press Yoink's keyboard shortcut to recall previously removed files now also works if Yoink's window is already shown.
- Improvement: Preference for long-pressing Yoink's keyboard shortcut: "Bring back previously removed files" or "Add from clipboard".

- Improved compatibility with macOS High Sierra's Messages and Mail apps.
- Improved compatibility with Parallels.
- Improved compatibility with ForkLift.

- Improved Yoink's Korean localization in some places.
- Improved Yoink's Share extension for URLs/links for macOS El Capitan and earlier.
- Fixed Yoink's menu bar icon's menu's "Bring back previously removed files" behaving erratically.
- Yoink doesn't keep fading out anymore when bringing back files when Yoink isn't holding any files.
- Fixed a crash when opening Yoink's About window on some MacBook Pro with Touch Bar models.
- Fixed a bug in macOS High Sierra where a drag sometimes would result in a selection of files in Yoink instead of a drag.


v3.2 [Apr 27, 2016]
- Use Force Touch to: Select all files in Yoink, Show selected files in Finder, QuickLook a file (or split up a Stack), Pin the file in Yoink, Optional Haptic Feedback when entering Yoink's window with files.
- Shows a warning when files in Yoink are moved to the Trash in Finder.
- Reduce Motion setting.
- "Show in Finder" now supports more than one file, reflects selected files and files in Stacks.
- QuickLook Previews now remember their last position (i.e. the page in a PDF, or the playback position of a video).
- Text snippets dragged to Yoink can now contain images (thanks, Joseph O'L. for bringing this to my attention).
- Filepaths of files in Stacks or selected items can now be all copied to the clipboard.
- Performance and Resource Management Improvements: Accepting files, Dragging out items, Clear All items, Splitting up Stacks, Opening the "Open With" menu, less memory when watching for filename changes and deletions in Finder, and many minor ones.
- Yoink now reflects changes in the Finder's "Show all filename extensions" setting.
- Mails dragged from Yoink work again with all applications. To create an event in Calendar from a mail message, keep the option-key pressed as you drag the mail out of Yoink.
- When Yoink is shown on a different screen than the mouse cursor, the keyboard shortcut (by default, F5) summons Yoink to the screen of the cursor.
- UI Improvements: When a file is pinned to Yoink, the lock button whiggles when trying to remove it; When locking all files at once (by holding down the option key), all lock buttons show to indicate that all have been locked
Cleaned up contextual menu (instead of having another submenu, "Show in Finder" has a submenu for multiple files in a Stack).
- Updated Lock button icon to make it easier to see if a file is pinned or not pinned.
- Uses proper font for Asian text, updated localizations.
- Buttons now don't animate from the side and the icon doesn't animate away when the mouse enters so we don't have a moving target (thanks for your input, walkie1984).
- Improved efficiency for QuickLook.
- When a file is re-saved in Finder, Yoink updates its QuickLook icon preview.
- When a snippet is added to Yoink, it has a proper filename instead of "Snippet".
- Better handling of text clippings from Finder.

- Improved support for Photos.app
- Reduced CPU cycles and power usage when waiting for "promised files"
- In order to use less power and CPU cycles further, Yoink now does not try to generate QuickLook Preview icons for files like apps, folders and volumes - those are just icons anyway

- When several files are picked in Finder to be dragged to Yoink, Yoink now remembers the order of the files
