Dinky 2.13.2

Fixes a side effect of 2.13.1. For Macs with Apple Silicon (M-series).

Watch Folder originals: back to what you had

2.13.1 gave Watch Folders their own Originals setting (Settings → Watch), defaulting to Move to Trash. If you already had a watch folder set up, that changed what happened to your originals without you choosing it — anyone who was on "Stay where they are" for the general setting started getting watch-folder originals trashed too.

This release fixes that: if you already had a watch folder (global or on a preset), your watch-folder originals setting now matches whatever your general Originals setting was, so nothing changes going forward. If you're setting up your first watch folder after this update, it still defaults to Trash, so the folder can stay an inbox.

If you were already on 2.13.1 and want to double check, it's in Settings → Watch.

Finder “Open With” shows two Dinkys

macOS lists each Dinky.app on disk with its own version. After an upgrade, an older copy is often still around.

• Homebrew: brew cleanup dinky (or brew cleanup) removes old cask versions under Caskroom.
• List every copy: mdfind 'kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == "com.dinky.app"' in Terminal; delete extras you do not need (e.g. in Downloads).
