Version 3.0 is the biggest update to Folder Preview Pro yet!

The preview window now feels like a real Finder window. Clicks respond instantly. Double-click a file to open it, or a folder to step into it, and use the new Back and Forward buttons in the toolbar to navigate. The toolbar also shows the name of the folder you are looking at.

The Quick Look extension also fully adopts Liquid Glass on macOS Tahoe now.
