The [Whisper AI model](https://github.com/openai/whisper) used by the app does not differentiate between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, so the result could unfortunately end up with either. [Learn more.](https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/277)

I have plans to add a workaround where you can write a prompt to improve this, but I cannot promise when this will happen.
Try writing a sentence in Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese in the “Prompt” setting in the app to steer the model into using the right one.

### Scripting

The text in the widgets can be changed using the Shortcuts app.

#### Shortcuts app

- [How to run shortcuts from the command-line on macOS](https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts-mac/run-shortcuts-from-the-command-line-apd455c82f02/mac)

#### Command-line on macOS

Shortcuts can be executed via the command-line, allowing you to set widget text programmatically.

For example, to set the text for widget 1, add [this shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/6873c23a3cbb4718b23135e367d6be1b), and then run this:

```sh
echo 'TEST' | shortcuts run 'Set Widget 1 Text'

No, that is unfortunately not possible. Folder Peek is built as a system menu, and a menu cannot be kept open if it's not focused. Instead, first, navigate to the nested folder, click to open it in Finder, and then drag & drop the file into the Finder window.

#### Can it auto-mount a network volume when accessing it? {#network-volume}

No, this is not possible because of sandboxing. If you want to use a network volume in the app, you need to manually mount it first or use a tool like [AutoMounter](https://pixeleyes.co.nz/automounter/) to keep it always mounted.

#### Can it support adding a tag instead of a folder?

No. This is not planned.

#### The app I want does not show up in the “Open With” menu for a folder {#folder-open-with}

Apps define the types they support and Folder Peek just fetches a list of apps that support opening folders. However, many apps forget to declare support for folders even though they can open them. I would encourage reporting this to the developers of the app you want to open ([example report](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/146977)). In the meantime, I'm happy to manually add the app to the list if you contact me, but you are expected to also have reported the issue to the app's developers.

#### Send a link to a specific Mac {#send-to-specific-mac}

Instead of using the “Send to Mac” share sheet button provided by the app, you can make a [shortcut](#shortcuts) for each Mac you want to send to and put those shortcuts in the share sheet.

Add these shortcuts (on any device):

- [iOS shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f013c4a6da7d4a9eb0694f0a6532f34c)
- [macOS shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e164558aa759486ca70553f32029fe40)

Then edit the macOS shortcut to match the device name of the device you want this to share to. You can rename the macOS shortcut, but don't forget to update the name in the iOS shortcut.

To support more Macs, repeat the process for each Mac.

#### Download a file on your Mac from your iOS device

You can use Hypeduck to trigger a download from your iOS device and have it downloaded on your Mac.

Add the below [shortcuts](#shortcuts):

- [iOS shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/4819a11f4d0b40228df7ffd737b34c3d)
- [macOS shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/d319976dd4cf441780f6abcb049a3cff)
- *Requires the latest [TestFlight build](https://testflight.apple.com/join/fJGUrsZx) of the Actions app.*

You can then tap “Download on Mac” in the share sheet on your iOS device, and the item will be downloaded on your Mac to the “Downloads” folder.
