Today we are releasing Files Preview v3.8.11 for users of the preview version. New users can get started from our download page. Additionally, you can help support the project by purchasing Files on the Microsoft Store or sponsoring us on GitHub. Your support is greatly appreciated but entirely optional.
Changes
Performance
- Removed the open and close animations from the breadcrumb, back button, and forward button flyouts.
- Thumbnails in the above mentioned flyouts are now ‘lazy’ loaded.
- Items in the breadcrumb flyout now start loading as the flyout is opening, instead of after it has fully opened.

Tags
- Added back support for applying tags by dropping files or folders onto tags in the sidebar.
