GrandPerspective 3.6.4 released

Erwin Bonsma posted a comment on ticket #124

I made some further tweaks. The Scan button is back again, but now as the default button. So it is promimently visible. Furthermore, there's now always a row selected in the history table, so with just arrow keys and return you can initiate a scan. Hopefully you'll like this. It is part of Version 3.6.4 released today.

Add tooltip to view full progress details when text is truncated

Erwin Bonsma posted a comment on ticket #116

Thanks for the suggestion. One possibility that already was present was to start up the app with extra logging. See https://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/HelpDocumentation/HowToHandleHangsWhileScanning.html However, I agree it is useful to be able to view the path from the progress dialog as well. I did not think this exceptional scenario justified adding resize ability to the progress panel. I preferred to use a tooltip instead as this is a typical method for showing the full contents of text...

Erwin Bonsma posted a comment on ticket #123

Thanks for the report. I expect this to be fixed in 3.6.3 but the Anonymous report on 2026-01-25 casts some doubt on that, but without enough details to investigate. Once I am confident the fix works as intended, I plan to also release it on the App Store.

Anonymous posted a comment on ticket #123

Same problem as in initial post here: Initially GrandPerspective wasn't listed in the FDA MacOS settings so had to add it manually Even when I added it and allowed FDA, the dialog always appears MacOS 26.2 with GrandPerspective from Mac App Store (3.6.1).

Erwin Bonsma posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

Yes, I plan to release a new version there, but was awaiting if there was more reports on the FDA check not working as expected (https://sourceforge.net/p/grandperspectiv/bugs/123/). I expect it is fixed in 3.6.3, but the last anonymous post suggests not, unfortunately without providing further details.

Thank you for new design. However, I think that general purpose utility should not match guidelines for developers' IDE. I will prefer to keep Scan button intact.

Note that that was a "Sponsored result", meaning Google got paid to show this link when someone searched for "Grand Perspective". Here's how you report such scammy ads: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7660847 Just now I tried the search with Brave, Firefox and Safari (all on macOS): the sponsored link didn't appear. So, perhaps enough people reported it. Dan Erwin Bonsma wrote on 2/23/26 5:36 PM: Thanks for the heads up. That is indeed not legit. I did not follow the link, but I can...

Erwin Bonsma posted a comment on discussion Help

Thanks for the heads up. That is indeed not legit. I did not follow the link, but I can only imagine it is something dodgy. Hopefully the suspicious-looking URL will mean most people do not fall for it. Not sure if there is anything I can do about it, but I will look into it. Just so it may show up in Google search. Do not follow sponsored links for GrandPerspective, by Tomorrow Lab or anyone else. To be safe, get the downloads from Sourceforge or the App Store.

Tweak look of Start Window

Erwin Bonsma posted a comment on ticket #124

Thanks for the report. I agree that the start window is not super-intuitive, as the buttons indeed look quite dark when enabled. However, in disabled state, the buttons look even darker, which you can see after "clearing history". I did make some improvements though: The help button is changed to match Apple's UI guidelines. The Scan button disappeared all together. It is not needed. All scans can be activated via double-click. This matches the behavior of XCode. The text "Select Other Folder" has...

Hi Vlad, Thanks for your offer to provide Romanian translations for GrandPerspective. In short, you will need to provide translations in the XLIFF file for all targets marked TO DO. Attached is a zip of the Localization Catalog, which also provides context. It includes the XLIFF file that you need to edit and return. More details can be found on the Localization page. After you have provided the initial translations (which is most of the work), I would greatly appreciate it when you provide translations...

Erwin Bonsma posted a comment on discussion Localization

Hi Whyto, Thanks for taking the effort to update and revamp the Chinese translation. I know it is a substantial task. I have to take your word for the increase in quality, as I cannot judge it myself. However, given the thought you put into your message, I have no doubts. I successfully imported the localization. One minor issue. My localization-check script found two (very small) texts that are not yet translated. Please find them in the attached .xliff file marked with "TO DO". If you could provide...

Whyto posted a comment on discussion Localization

Hi Erwin, I like this app very much. However the current Chinese translation looks highly unnatural, to the point where I don't really understand how it was done. If my words offend the prior translators, I apologize, but the translation is really strange and functionally unusable – it looks both manually reviewed and machine translated, and the word choices and descriptions are too inconsistent and messy to understand for an average Chinese user. So I decided to translate it myself. I took the source...

Thanks for the report. Can you start it up from the terminal (e.g. using /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective) and share the logs you see on start-up?

I just upgraded to 3.6.3 on Sonoma, and now GrandPerspective shows we the "GrandPerspective seems to lack Full Disk Access permissions" on every startup. Removing and re-adding this permission, or restarting the program, doesn't seem to help. 3.6.2 (or previous versions) didn't have this problem for me.
