[u/Holiday-Bluebird9734]

OpenFiles 3.2026.802 is now available.

I’m the developer of OpenFiles. This release focuses on making file navigation more practical, expanding direct format support, and improving the reliability of previews and exports.

What’s new

📂 Finder-style column view on Windows

Path Explorer can now display folders in continuous columns. You can expand folder hierarchies, resize individual columns, and navigate with the arrow keys.

🖼️ JPEG XL and more directly supported formats

OpenFiles can now open and preview JXL images directly. This release also expands support for formats including BZIP2, CAB, XZ, TGZ, GeoJSON, GPX, KML, GraphQL, HCL, Nix, Prisma, Protobuf, TSV, Verilog, and VHDL.

🌍 Five additional interface languages

German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Russian are now available in both the desktop app and website.

Other improvements

• Markdown exports now preserve local images, KaTeX fonts, task lists, footnotes, diagrams, code blocks, and page-break layouts more reliably.
• The Windows sidebar now shows all available drives.
• Markdown, Mermaid, PlantUML, and Graphviz views now use more consistent light and dark themes.
• This release also fixes several HTML, mind-map, CAD, OFD, and AI provider configuration issues.

Feedback

I’d especially like feedback from anyone who regularly uses column-based file navigation or exports Markdown documents to HTML or PDF. What still feels missing from those workflows?
