Today we are releasing Files Preview v3.8.1 for users of the preview version.
Changes
Details Pane
- Added storage information when viewing drive details in the Details Pane.
Shortcut files
- Added support for assigning a custom name when creating a new shortcut.
Properties window
- Added support for changing the ‘compress’ attribute from the properties window.
Taskbar
- Removed the number of open tabs from being displayed in the Windows Taskbar.
Archives
- Added support for setting Files as the default app on Windows for opening
gzarchives.
Drag & drop
- Improved the behavior so that Files is no longer brought to the foreground when dragging items to another application.
Details Layout
- Modifying which columns are enabled in the Settings will now automatically update existing tabs. Previously, this setting only applied to tabs opened after the change.
Release Notes
- The Release Notes dialog was updated to display changelogs directly from the Files website.
- Added a new action to open the Release Notes dialog. Previously, the dialog was only accessible during the session immediately following an update.
Fixes
Address Bar
- Fixed an issue where the address bar flyouts sometimes displayed duplicate items.
Tabs
- Fixed an issue where tabs weren’t placed in the correct order when dragged from other windows.
Actions
- Fixed an issue with the ‘Run with PowerShell’ action not working for files with spaces in their names.
