📷 UI update
We have a brand new Sidebar change that should simplify what you need to focus on when you are working, and give you back some more screen space for the main body.
🚄 Performance improvements
- Switching pages should feel much snappier now.
- Searching for files should feel much faster, especially with filters.
📰 What else is new?
- Search terms are now split with AND operations. You can still search the old way by adding ORin the search between terms.
- Support for folders in search results
- Added a copy button next to the Location attribute on the right sidebar
🐞 Bug fixes
- Fixed an issue where deleting everything from a workspace would remove the root mapped folder
🔬 What's next?
More performance improvements! We are initially focusing on adding files at scale, and committing at scale to help with larger migrations. We are also looking into speeding up renames/moves within the app.
What's the new invite flow?
For the inviter
, we have 2 massive improvements that will streamline and speed up adding new users so they can start working immediately. 
Click the
Add people
button and invite account members with permissions and workspace access all in one location!
The account permissions will match workspace permissions in this invite flow, but you can still adjust workspace and account roles manually after the invite.
For the recipient
, they will receive a notification immediately on launch of the app after logging in. No more hunting for the invite!
Upon accepting the invite, you will be taken directly to the account and workspace you were invited to get started working. This should significantly reduce confusion for new user hopping on to your account.
Bug fixes
- Intel macs weren't able to read thumbs and versions properly
- Progress bar should start up faster on pulls
- Fixed a missed catch for some erroring pushes
Known issues
- PSBs that are generated from converting a Smart Object to a linked file can generate a white thumbnail. Turns out the way Photoshop saves that file is different vs. manually creating & saving a PSB. We are still investigating this issue.

Hey everyone! We are proud to send out a significant performance improvement to our app with the new queue system! Check out the details below 👇
👶 New Stuff
Queue System
- This addition to mudstack gives significantly more visibility and stability during downloads, uploads, thumbnail generation, fetching, and other future large batch tasks. These tasks are now done asynchronously, speeding up your workflow time rather than waiting on processes to complete in Mudstack.
Access the view below by clicking on the
Sync
button in the bottom left of the console log. Whenever there are processes happening in the background, you'll see the progress bars next to the sync button.
You'll now get a time estimate for completion, spinners on file in the file search view that are still downloading, and dramatically reduced Disable sync times for team that have reduced disk space.
📰 Other New Things
- Added File Size column in push table
- Deleting a folder with ignored files will now delete the ignored content and fully remove the folder
- Cancel Commit Item on a Error in order to retry or fix an issue
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Added a button to go up a level in the files view next to back and forward
- Added Xbutton to clear search input field
- After opening a file, Auto Sync should be set properly
- Hanging commits edge cases should be captured and handled better
- Updated the timestamps on the Diffs in the Sync view to show correct date
- Handle additional 401 errors on membership and revocation calls
- Check if the Mudstack temp folder exists before getting new versions of files
- Delete workspace UI was missing
- Warn user when downloading while not mapped properly
- Mudstack Temp now creates a unique filename each time a download occurs
- Settings/Account Settings/Workspaces/Details permission edge case handling and recovery
🔭 What's next?
We have a host of other optimizations we are looking forward to cleanup, primarily focusing on the Staged -> Push start speed and importing large sets of data before sending to cloud (think initial data migrations to Mudstack)
Known issues
Thumbs for .psb files may show as white, we are looking into that now
