What stands out in v0.93

v0.93 builds directly on the broader native-tooling work from v0.92 and brings it into Finder. The headline feature is new Quick Look support on macOS, powered by the same native AmigaDiskKit preview stack that the app now uses internally.

  • Quick Look previews in Finder - press Space on supported Amiga files and preview them directly on macOS, with no additional software required.
  • Native in Swift - the Finder preview path is not a wrapper around external tools. It is a native Swift implementation built on the AmigaDiskKit preview core.
  • Supported file coverage - peek inside .adf, .hdf/.img, and .lha files directly in Finder.
  • Cleaner Finder handoff - use Finder's native Open With → Amiga Imager flow to browse disk images in the File Manager or extract archive and floppy content to a sibling folder.

Quick Look makes Amiga files feel native on macOS

The practical change in v0.93 is simple: Amiga files no longer need to be treated like opaque blobs until you open a separate tool. Finder can now show you what is inside them immediately, and that makes triage, archive browsing, and disk-image inspection much faster in day-to-day use.

  • Select a supported file in Finder and press Space to preview it.
  • Container formats show useful structure instead of only a generic icon: partitions, volumes, and browsable content trees where that makes sense.
  • The same native preview logic is shared with the app, so Finder previews and in-app previews stay aligned.

What you can preview in v0.93

v0.93 is designed to cover the Amiga file types you are most likely to exchange, inspect, or double-check before doing real work with them.

  • ADF floppy images - peek inside disks before writing or extracting them.
  • HDF / IMG hard-disk images - preview partition and volume information.
  • LHA archives - inspect contents before unpacking them into a project or build workflow.

Native Open With flow into the app

Quick Look previews are intentionally lightweight and view-only. When you want to go further, v0.93 uses Finder's native handoff instead of an awkward custom action model.

  • Open With → Amiga Imager opens .hdf and .img files directly in the Amiga File Manager.
  • Open With → Amiga Imager extracts .lha and .adf content to a sibling folder on the Mac.
  • The result is a cleaner bridge between Finder and the broader Amiga Imager workflow, without requiring extra helper software.

Why this matters

v0.92 turned Amiga Imager into a broader native toolkit on macOS. v0.93 makes that toolkit much easier to reach in everyday use by extending it into Finder itself. It is a smaller release than v0.92, but it is a very visible one: a cleaner Mac-native way to inspect Amiga media before you build, write, browse, or extract anything.
