Tusk 0.9.0

Tusk v0.9.0 Release Notes

This release is a big one. Tusk 0.9.0 focuses on making your backups easier to start, easier to trust, and easier to recover when something goes wrong. From a new Finder integration to smarter health monitoring and a handful of important reliability fixes, this update touches nearly every part of the app.

✨ New Features

• "Backup with Tusk" in Finder — Right-click any file or folder in Finder to send it straight to Tusk via a Quick Action, deep link, or Open With. No more dragging windows around.

• Locate Lost Files — If a backed-up file has moved or gone missing, Tusk can now search for it across all your destinations and adopt the copy it finds.

• Editable Backup Paths — You can now edit destination paths directly, and Tusk will automatically recover backups if you've renamed or reorganized a folder.

• Guided Repair Banner — When a backup needs attention, Tusk now shows a clear banner at the top of the project with a single guided action to fix the problem — no hunting through menus required.

• Destination Full Alert — Running out of space on a backup drive is now a first-class warning, shown prominently at the project level so it's impossible to miss.

• Card-Inserted Offload Prompt — When you plug in a memory card, Tusk can now prompt you to offload footage right away, and notifies you when the transfer is complete.

🛠 Fixes

• Spurious "Verification Failed" errors are gone — A race condition caused Tusk to verify files that were still being transferred, producing false failures and wildly inflated progress totals (sometimes 6× the real number). Both are fixed.

• File status now reflects failed verifications — Overall file health was previously showing green even when a verification had failed underneath. That's corrected.

• Folder browser no longer breaks after editing — Editing a path selection could leave the folder browser in a broken state. It now recovers cleanly.

• Duplicate analytics events removed — Usage snapshots were firing more than once in some sessions. Fixed, and the analytics default has been hardened.

• Fewer unnecessary error notifications — Tusk was too noisy about transient errors. Notifications are now reserved for issues that actually need your attention.

📐 Improvements

• Smarter folder view — The folder view now sorts by backup health by default, so problem files surface immediately. All columns are sortable, and the right-click context menu now matches everything available in the file view.

• Refreshed app design — Visual consistency has been improved across the app shell, navigation chrome, and key pages, bringing everything in line with the updated design system.
