Windows 8: Microsoft backtracks on some changes

Post by sniper3d »

Automatically translated from French.

Indeed Microsoft is backtracking on some of the changes to the Windows 8 explorer Image unavailable (removed by its host) Behind the very big facade changes in Windows 8, Microsoft will also make many small modifications to simplify the daily use of its OS. The explorer in particular was to evolve in managing copies, or the arrangement of commands via the adoption of a ribbon, Office-style. Microsoft listened to feedback from users about the innovations presented last summer and brings new clarifications.
*deduplication during copies: the new dialog box for purging duplicates during a copy operation will have a checkbox allowing you to automatically consider as duplicate all files with the same name, the same date (to 100 ns in NTFS, to 2 s in FAT) and the same size (to the byte)
*if you connect a Windows 8 PC via cable during a transfer started on WiFi, Windows 8 will automatically switch to the faster connection (provided that both machines involved in the transfer are under Windows 8)
*a copy can be suspended and then resumed after the computer goes to sleep or hibernates
*a bug in the automatic positioning of folders in the explorer's navigation panel has been fixed
*photo display will follow the rotation indicated in the Exif
*shared folders will no longer be indicated by a lock on their icon, but by a new column. Microsoft indicates that this saves 120 ms in launching the explorer window
*the ribbon will now be minimized by default.

Explorer: Layering changes to improve performance

Performance: The column is hidden by default, so the delay is only incurred when you choose to show this information.
Tri-state: This column has three values: shared, not shared, and private, so you get more details than you would with icon overlay.
Sort / Filter: you can sort and filter the share status property, offering more powerful file management capabilities.
