This announcement describes 1.8.0 at release. See the current guide for installation and usage today.

FolderRewind v1.8.0​

This major update introduces a new remote-command model and multiple underlying improvements.

Historical announcement

This post preserves dated facts. Follow current1.9 migration for current assets/contracts rather than copying old steps.

:::tip Download advice Microsoft Store remains the preferred channel. General sideload users can choose MSI; advanced sideload users should use the MSIX 7z package and run install.ps1. Do not keep the three channels installed together. :::

What's changed​

  1. Added region backup mode.
  2. Added folder rename support.
  3. Added performance presets.
  4. Added KnotLink v3 server and SDK support.
  5. Added multiple remote commands.
  6. Removed several forward-compatibility code paths.
  7. Adapted to Windows App SDK 2.3.1.
  8. Fixed automation settings not being saved correctly (#41 @LYarHlXS).
  9. Improved page loading, startup speed, and filter performance.
  10. Applied stricter region-backup restore policy.

Remote protocol and compatibility​

FolderRewind 1.8 requires KnotLink Server v3 and strict key-value parameterized protocol v2. Legacy space-delimited commands are no longer supported. Plugin authors should use the current parameterized interfaces and set new API examples to MinHostVersion 1.8.0.

Which one should I download?​

  • Microsoft Store: preferred for the simplest installation and updates.
  • MSI: for general sideload users; still experimental in Archive Time Machine, requires no Developer Mode, and should be checked against its .sha256 file.
  • MSIX 7z: for advanced sideload users; extract it and run install.ps1 for the closest Store-like experience.

General users should choose x64; choose ARM64 only on Windows on ARM. Store, MSI, and MSIX do not share configuration or plugins automatically, so back up those assets before switching channels.

Upgrade guide​

Before upgrading from 1.7.4, validate region backup, rename, and performance presets against test data. Older versions should migrate through a stable release before entering 1.8. If startup fails, follow Current upgrade and recovery guide and do not delete the whole config file.
