As Windows File Explorer (or its predecessor) is built right into every version of Windows, and almost every Windows users knows it. It is reliable, robust, and meets needs of most of the users for most of the purposes. However, sometimes it also feels like an abandoned piece of software. 6 | 7 | Microsoft Windows have evolved significantly over time. Especially with the introduction of Windows 8 and then Windows 10, the design language of the entire operating system has evolved significantly. However, many critical built in tools (or inbox apps) were left as they were. This includes the classic Control Panel and Windows File Explorer. 8 | 9 | While Microsoft did introduce Settings app to replace Control Panel, it was many years before Settings was able to replace Control Panel for any significant task. And even now, Settings app has not completely replaced the classic Control Panel. But, at least Settings was introduced fairly early in the development of Windows 10, and there has been a significant progress over last several years. Maybe Microsoft worked on Settings app first because it is one of the main built in tools in other operating systems (such as Android and iOS). Or, maybe because most of the users would not use Control Panel often. Or, maybe because parts of Control Panel can be moved to Settings at a time with the eventual goal of fully replacing Control Panel. Unfortunately, that is not the case with Windows File Explorer. 10 | 11 | Windows File Explorer is an essential part of Windows operating system. Partial replacement of Windows File Explorer is not possible. And, compared to the Control Panel, most of the Windows users are likely to use it much more often. Not being able to update a wallpaper may not cause chaos, but failing to copy files and folders definitely will. 12 | 13 | This does not mean that Windows File Explorer has not evolved at all, it has! Microsoft just have not released a full replacement for Windows File Explorer. Microsoft has started to include some modern components in the classic Windows File Explorer. For example, search box shows suggestions in modern-ish user interface that is likely coming from XAML code. 14 | Search box result in Windows File Explorer 15 | Search box result in Windows File Explorer 16 | 17 | ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/77933967/116176915-eb918600-a6e0-11eb-8e79-4801b750d56f.png) 18 | 19 | But, it still has classic user interface. It still uses ribbon interface which was probably first introduced in Microsoft Office 2007 or so. It’s still tightly coupled with Control panel — so much so that some of the folder options affect both Control Panel and Windows File Explorer. It still has old school context menu, and so forth. 20 | 21 | Windows is well known for backward compatibility. You can still run majority of apps developed for Windows 8.1, 7, XP, NT, and possibly 3.1. However, such backward compatibility also comes at a cost. One of the result of the backward compatibility is that the legacy version of various built in apps cannot be significantly altered. So, what could be the solution? Maybe, just like Settings is installed alongside Control Panels, a new Windows File Explorer should be installed alongside the classic Windows File Explorer. Maybe that’s what the One Drive focused File Explorer for Windows 10X intends to do. Or, maybe One Drive focused File Explorer is solely for Windows 10X and not for Windows 10. Maybe, a new version of Windows File Explorer will be or is being developed for Windows 10. In any case, a number of improvements can be made to Windows File Explorer so that it fits the modern and fluent interface introduced in Windows 10 and it meets the evolving needs of Windows users. 22 | 23 | In the next article, I will try to pinpoint some of the features that a modern File explorer should offer. These should be useful whether Microsoft or other third-parties are developing a new File Explorer or updating an existing ones. 24 | 25 | Shrestha 26 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /Blogs/htmlcodeworkswiththis.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | layout: default 3 | --- 4 | 5 | 6 |

This is an improved version of the feature that previously existed in the universal version but was disabled for the Pro X version. 103 | * Text color of filter text should be more readable now. 104 | * Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Damián Roig! 105 | * Miscellaneous improvements. 106 | * Updated WinAppSDK from 1.1.4 to 1.1.5. 107 | * Updated System.Text.Json from 6.0.5 to 6.0.6. 108 | * Updated CommunityToolkit.Diagnostics from 7.1.2 to 8.0.0. 109 | * Updated CommunityToolkit.Mvvm from 7.1.2 to 8.0.0. 110 | 111 | 112 | **Changelog for Version 2.10 (September 12, 2022)** 113 | 114 | * Added option to create new files using shell item templates, such as Microsoft Word Document and Microsoft PowerPoint Document. However, this list will not be as comprehensive as Windows File Explorer (e.g., New Shortcuts will not be available). 115 | * Menu items to create new file and folder is now combined to a single item in both toolbar as well as the context menu. 116 | * While creating new files/folders, the list should scroll to newly created file/folder. This may not work consistently every time. 117 | * Removed Gradient icon theme. The office theme continues to be shipped. 118 | * Fixed crashes while clicking rename button and nothing is selected. 119 | * Miscellaneous improvements. 120 | * Added Damián Roig to the feedback hero list for continuous feedback and translation. 121 | 122 | 123 | 124 | **Changelog for Version 2.9 (September 04, 2022)** 125 | 126 | * Added Office and Gradient icon theme. Credits to Icons8! 127 | * Added option to disable listing folders first. 128 | * The positions of the standard bookmark items (e.g. libraries, devices and drives, etc.) are restored now. Previously, their location used to be reset to their standard positions after app restart. 129 | * Tooltip text of the warning about the app instance not being the main instance should show up on mouse over now. 130 | * Miscellaneous improvements. 131 | 132 | 133 | 134 | **Changelog for Version 2.8 (September 01, 2022)** 135 | 136 | * Opacity/transparency can be set for hidden and system files/folders. The opacity/transparency values can be changed from config file: HiddenFileFolderOpacityExperimental and SystemFileFolderOpacityExperimental. 137 | * Added experimental option and config to hide files/folders marked as hidden or system file/folder: HideHiddenFileFolderExperimental and HideSystemFileFolderExperimental. This setting will also apply in search results. 138 | * Drag and drop is still disabled for files, folders, bookmarks, and tabs. This can be reenabled by updating the config value for EnableMultipleInstance. However, drag and drop will most likely cause the app to crash. This crash cannot be fixed by Shrestha Files developer. Microsoft needs to fix related issue in their platform (WinAppSDK) first. 139 | 140 | 141 | 142 | **Changelog for Version 2.7 (August 18, 2022)** 143 | 144 | * Drag and drop is disabled for files, folders, bookmarks, and tabs. This can be reenabled by updating the config value for EnableMultipleInstance. However, drag and drop will most likely cause the app to crash. This crash cannot be fixed by Shrestha Files developer. Microsoft needs to fix related issue in their platform (WinAppSDK) first. 145 | * Path arguments can be passed to the app again. With some registry edits, this will enable launching Shrestha Files Pro X when Windows tries to launch a folder. This will also enable Shrestha Files to launch with additional folder path (e.g., "sfiles.exe C:\" will launch Shrestha Files with saved tabs and another tab for "C:\"). 146 | * Now, only the main instance of the app will save the settings. Other subsequent instances will have a warning sign in the status bar indicating that settings from that instance will not be saved. This will enable launching subsequent instances of the app faster if the settings have multiple tabs saved. 147 | * Upgraded WinAppSDK to 1.1.4 148 | 149 | 150 | 151 | **Changelog for Version 2.6 (August 07, 2022)** 152 | 153 | * Experimental option added in the config file (EnableSystemContextMenuExperimental) to show the system context menu for selected files, folders, or current folder (if nothing is selected). This option is disabled by default. This option will likely remain as experimental for quite some time. Some features such as "Send To" does not work. The system context menu does not follow the dark/light theme options. Drive properties will not show up. 154 | * Upgraded WinAppSDK to 1.1.3. 155 | * Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Damián Roig! 156 | 157 | 158 | 159 | **Changelog for Version 2.5 (July 02, 2022)** 160 | 161 | * KNOWN ISSUE: DRAG AND DROP CRASHES THE APP!! This is a platform bug that cannot be fixed by app developers! 162 | * Settings for alternative icons for files and folders are indented a bit to communicate that they are subsettings for the corresponding preferred icon types. 163 | * Updated generic icons for ascending up and down. 164 | * If environmental variables are not supported, OneDrive will not be added. Some versions of Windows 10 will have this issue. 165 | * Cloud drives should not have glyph icons instead of no icons. 166 | * Added shortcut `Ctrl` `L` for "Open Command Prompt" in the shortcuts list. 167 | * Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Damián Roig! 168 | * Fixed: Texts in some settings were not completely visible. 169 | * Misecellaneous improvements. 170 | - Fixed spellings of Español and Deutsch. 171 | - Removed unused string Generic.CS.Message. 172 | 173 | 174 | 175 | **Changelog for Version 2.4 (June 13, 2022)** 176 | 177 | * Added GUI for Mica/Acrylic/None application backdrop settings in the experimental section. Users can now choose between Mica/Acrylic/None and set tint opacity for the backdrop. The application backdrop switching requires app restart. Note that the previous opacity settings will still be used (and the layers are applied on top of the application backdrop). 178 | * OneDrive and OneDrive for Business are now added to the Cloud section of the bookmarks automatically. This will be persistent as the libraries and drives. Thus, even if they are removed, they will be readded in the same location when the app is started again. If changes are made to the sub items, they will be saved. 179 | * Added context menu item to launch command prompt in the current folder (Ctrl + L). 180 | * Very experimental method added to unlock Bitlocker locked drives. When a bitlocker locked drive is double clicked from the "This PC" page, it will open a Command Prompt that will ask for a password to unlock the drive. Once password is entered it should unlock the drive. Finally, close the Command Prompt to load the drive content in the Tab Page. For this to work, users need to set EnableUnlockBitlockerExperimental value to true in the config file. 181 | * Miscellaneous improvements. 182 | 183 | 184 | 185 | **Changelog for Version 2.3 (June 05, 2022)** 186 | 187 | * Progress ring added on the loading screen. 188 | * Context menu tooltip for "Copy Path" is updated to reflect that it copies the current folder path (if no item is selected) or selected item path (if an item is selected). Non-English translations may not reflect this properly. 189 | * Added BackgroundType in config file. This can be set to none, acrylic, or mica. This will set the background for the main window. The acrylic background from the settings will be set for pages and content area on top of this. Using values other than none will likely consume more memory and/or processing power. This is an experimental config that is set as none by default for now. 190 | * Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Damián Roig! 191 | * Miscellaneous improvements. 192 | 193 | 194 | 195 | **hangelog for Version 2.2 (June 04, 2022)** 196 | 197 | * WinAppSDK upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1. 198 | 199 | 200 | 201 | **Changelog for Version 2.1 (May 24, 2022)** 202 | 203 | * Added Chinese Traditional translation (Hans and zh-TW).

But, the hover over color is still not always readable. 386 | * Minor update on the initial app tour. 387 | * Startup improvements. 388 | * Fixed: "Libraries" and "Devices and Drives" expanded state on the side bar was not restoring (other bookmark folders does). 389 | * Fixed: Files without extension did not show a generic icon. 390 | * Miscellaneous improvements. 391 | 392 | 393 | 394 | **Changelog for Version 1.63 (April 10, 2022)** 395 | 396 | * Libraries will appear above the "Devices and Drives" in the side bar now. This aligns with the order in the "This PC" page. 397 | * "Libraries"" and "Devices and Drives" items can now have Emoji icons (instead of simple Glyph icons), colorful icons, and actual thumbnails. Live toggling may not work as expected in all scenarios. The changes should be reflected after restarting Shrestha Files Pro X. The colorful icons will be updated in the future. 398 | * This PC page can now show Emoji icons (instead of simple Glyph icons), colorful icons, and actual thumbnails. Live toggling may not work as expected in all scenarios. The changes should be reflected after refreshing the "This PC" page. 399 | * Custom icons are now organized in folders to keep them organized better. 400 | * When a new file, folder, or zip file are created in any tab page, the page scrolls to the new item if it is not visible (until scrolled). This should work most of the time, but may not work reliably all the time. 401 | * Markdown text with hyperlinks shows up again. Use of a reserved resource key (HyperlinkForeground) was the issue. 402 | - About page is updated so that the links for the third party licenses works again. 403 | - Changelog prompt now has links to the Discord server, Twitter, Youtube, etc. 404 | - Color of the link may not be very readable. 405 | * More friendly drive names such as "Local Disk" instead of "Fixed" is shown. 406 | * PDF file loading in the internal PDF viewer should be more reliable now.

Colorful icon themes 421 | 422 | - Three colorful icon themes are added. Switch between the icon themes from the Theme Settings. Refresh pages to see the change. 423 | - These icon themes provides generic icons for various types of files. 424 | - Enabling these icons allows files/folders to load faster (because generating actual thumbnails takes a while). 425 | - Users can still choose to show actual thumbnails instead of generic thumbnails from the settings. 426 | - Users can also choose to use very basic generic thumbnails (based on Glyph icons) that should be even faster to load. 427 | - Users can choose to load actual thumbnails for specific file types even when generic thumbnails are used. This is useful for file types such as images for which actual thumbnails are significantly more useful. 428 | - Users can create their own icon themes: 429 | * Create a folder inside CustomIcons folder in the LocalState folder. 430 | * Paste SVG files for various file types, e.g. for file type ".txt", add a SVG file named txt.svg. 431 | * Users can download the SVG files from places such as svgrepo or icons8. Thanks to both websites! Link is not added here because Community Toolkit's MarkDown editor is not working as expected when links are added. svg repo and icons8 links are provided in the About section of the app. 432 | * Make sure the SVG icons does not have width and height, if they do, just remove them, e.g., update this (svg viewBox="0 0 48 48" width="240px" height="240px") to this (svg viewBox="0 0 48 48"). 433 | * Also add defaultfile.svg and defaultfolder.svg. defaultfile.svg is used for all file types for which type specific SVG file is not provided. 434 | * defaultfolder.svg is used for all folders. 435 | * Users can also add text.svg, image.svg, audio.svg, and video.svg that will be used for corresponding formats (e.g. text.svg will be used for .txt, .json, etc. if type specific icon is not provided). 436 | 437 | 2. Title bar should look nicer when Extend Contents to Title bar is enabled in Windows 10. 438 | 439 | 3. Thumbnails/icons are available now for system files, hidden files, and other shortcuts .appref-ms, .url, and .wsh files. These might look blurry in grid views. 440 | 441 | 4. Acrylic background image now stretches while maintaining proportion to avoid image distortion. 442 | 443 | 5. Fixed PDFViewer was not opening for pdf files. Known issue: the PDF viewer sometimes does not load all pages properly. 444 | 445 | 6. App rating feature reimplemented. 446 | 447 | 7. App purchase feature reimplemented. 448 | 449 | 8. App updater feature reimplemented. 450 | 451 | 9. Added sliders in the item template settings to change simple list and tiles length. 452 | 453 | 10. Share should work for files again! It may not support some file types such as .lnk, .url, etc. 454 | 455 | 11. Settings should be automatically saved while closing Shrestha Files Pro X now. The reliability of this implementation needs to be tracked over time. 456 | 457 | 12. PDF files should look sharper even when the window is slightly wider (1920). 458 | 459 | 13. Language switching should work even after restarting the app. 460 | 461 | 14. Miscellaneous improvements. 462 | 463 | 464 | 465 | 466 | 467 | **Changelog for Version 1.61 (March 20, 2022)** 468 | 469 | * Fixed: Image viewer title bar issue. 470 | 471 | 472 | 473 | 474 | **Changelog for Version 1.60 (March 20, 2022)** 475 | 476 | * Fixed: File name was showing as file extension. 477 | * App preview in the taskbar should now show Shrestha Files Pro X logo. 478 | * Fixed: Shortcuts (such as Delete button) were executing in the main window even when an internal viewer was focused. 479 | 480 | 481 | 482 | 483 | **Changelog for Version 1.61 (March 20, 2022)** 484 | 485 | * Fixed: Image viewer title bar issue. 486 | 487 | 488 | 489 | 490 | **Changelog for Version 1.60 (March 20, 2022)** 491 | 492 | * Fixed: File name was showing as file extension. 493 | * App preview in the taskbar should now show Shrestha Files Pro X logo. 494 | * Fixed: Shortcuts (such as Delete button) were executing in the main window even when an internal viewer was focused. 495 | 496 | 497 | 498 | **Changelog for Version 1.59 (March 17, 2022)** 499 | 500 | * Internal text, image, and pdf viewers are back in their own Windows. 501 | * Internal viewer settings are moved back to their own settings. 502 | * Added Ukrainian translation (machine translated). 503 | 504 | 505 | 506 | 507 | **Changelog for Version 1.59 (March 17, 2022)** 508 | 509 | * Internal text, image, and pdf viewers are back in their own Windows. 510 | * Internal viewer settings are moved back to their own settings. 511 | * Added Ukrainian translation (machine translated). 512 | 513 | 514 | 515 | 516 | **Changelog for Version 1.58 (March 17, 2022)** 517 | 518 | * Fixed crash while toggling between "extend contents into the title bar" on/off in Windows 10. 519 | * Fixed issue with language switching. 520 | * *.tmp files created by MS Office should not show up anymore. 521 | * Reimplemented the internal pdf viewer. But it only shows one page at a time. 522 | 523 | 524 | 525 | 526 | **Changelog for Version 1.57 (March 16, 2022)** 527 | 528 | * Updated logo for the Pro X version. 529 | * The generic folder icon color changed to the familiar yellow color. 530 | * Tab pages now have rounded corners to make the app designing more consistent. 531 | * Added additional settings for opacity. 532 | * Colors for the title bar and some buttons should be fixed now (when changing the theme). 533 | * Internal viewers settings are moved to the experimental settings page since the internal viewers cannot be opened in a separate window as of now (because of the platform limitation). 534 | * Additional attempt to enable extend the contents to the title bar option work as before on Windows 10 (e.g. make caption button visible). 535 | * Miscellaneous improvements. 536 | 537 | 538 | 539 | 540 | **Changelog for Version 1.55/1.56 (March 13, 2022)** 541 | 542 | * Improved phasing of items to improve item loading and reduce memory usage. 543 | * Reimplemented the Ctrl + Mouse Wheel shortcut to change the tab view type. 544 | * Reimplemented the "press key to navigate" feature to scroll to an item starting with a specific letter or number.

If this option is enabled, it may take longer to copy files to the clipboard, which would be noticeable when copying a large number of files/folders. 556 | * Fixed: Dark and Light color themes were mixing up and some texts were unreadable. (It does not fix everything yet; some issues still exist.) 557 | * Miscellaneous improvements. 558 | 559 | 560 | 561 | 562 | **Changelog for Version 1.53 (March 6, 2022)** 563 | 564 | * Internal text editor reimplemented with mini window.

The Shrestha Files Pro X (the neXt version of Shrestha Files Pro) was developed to address the platform limitations of the original version, such as, not being able to execute .exe files, not being able to show hidden/system files, and a significant performance issue. The Shrestha Files Pro X version uses Windows Application Software Development Kit (WinAppSDK) and WinUI3 while the original version used Universal Windows Platofrm (UWP) and WinUI2. 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | **Changelog for Version 1.12 (April 8, 2022)** 13 | 14 | * Fixed: Markdown preview with links were not working in the Internal Text Viewer and other locations. 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | **Changelog for Version 1.11 (February 22, 2022)** 19 | 20 | * Fixed: Unable to save the default drag and drop operation as copy. 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | **Changelog for Version 1.10 (October 11, 2021)** 25 | 26 | * Full change log in settings is now visible by default - so that Windows 11 users will see the Full Changelog if Recent Changelog with links are not visible. 27 | * Improved sanity check that prevents copying a folder inside multi-level subfolder of the parent folder. 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | **Changelog for Version 1.9 (October 10, 2021)** 32 | 33 | * Improved Properties Viewer to display various item-type-specific properties such as image dimensions, duration, etc. for music, image, and video files. Some properties might be empty. 34 | * Properties Viewer shows date time instead of date time offset. 35 | * Default properties viewer width decreased to 250 (from 300). 36 | * Added config value to set item thumbnail size in properties pane (propertiesThumbnailSize). Default thumbnail size decreased to display more properties without scrolling. 37 | * Changelog page (shown after update) and shortcut list page (Ctrl + K) can now be dismissed with Escape key or clicking outside the prompt. 38 | * Added config option SelectItemGridDisablesShortcuts to enable navigating by keyboard to some degree. This enables selecting an item with keyboard right after navigating to a folder. However, it also blocks (disables) other shortcuts such as Ctrl+K and Alt+Left. This option is disabled by default. 39 | * Added Serbian-Latin (sr-Latn) and Serbian-Cyrillic (sr-Cyrl) translation. Thanks to Bzzrak! 40 | * Updated Italian translation.

Replace with the actual user name. 15 | 16 | ```C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\43158JPTGamesandApps.ShresthaFiles-AModernDualPane_pnxmbr0ydfejr\LocalState ``` 17 | 18 | Alternately, you can click the 19 | 20 | ```Open Application Folder ``` 21 | icon on the top right side of the 22 | ```Log Viewer``` 23 | 24 | to load the folder. 25 | 26 | 27 | ### Where is log file stored? 28 | Log file (log.txt) is stored in 29 | 30 | ```C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\43158JPTGamesandApps.ShresthaFiles-AModernDualPane_pnxmbr0ydfejr\TempState ``` 31 | 32 | Alternately, click on the ```Log Viewer``` -> ```Open Full Log``` to open log file in a text viewer (such as the Notepad). 33 | 34 | 35 | ### All my tabs and bookmarks are gone after updating the app. Can I recover them? 36 | The tabs, bookmarks, and other settings are stored in config.json file. Sometimes newer version of config file is not compatible with older version of config. When newer versions are installed, the app attempts to update the config file. Sometimes this process might fail, and the config file may be reset. In such cases, you can try to recover tabs, bookmarks, and other settings from backed up config file(s). The LocalState folder will may have other versions of config file such as config.failed.json that was saved when the app failed to read the previous config.json the last time. Similary, config.prior.json should have the version from the last version of the app. config.successful.json stores the last config file that was read successfully. More back ups are stored in the temporary location ```C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\43158JPTGamesandApps.ShresthaFiles-AModernDualPane_pnxmbr0ydfejr\LocalCache\ConfigBackups``` folder. The contents in this temporary location may be deleted by Windows automatically over time. 37 | 38 | 39 | ### App crashed at launch after updating to a newer version, what can I do? 40 | Sometimes the config file (that stores the settings for the app) changes in the newer version. While attempts are made to upgrade the config files automatically, sometimes such process fails and can crash the app. In such case, you might need to rename the config.json and its versions in the LocalState folder or move them to other locations. Launch the app again and save settings (Ctrl+S) and a new config.json will be created. You can manually import desired previus settings from the existing config files that you just moved or renamed. 41 | 42 | ### I edited the config.json, but nothing changed. Did I do something wrong? 43 | Make sure the app was *not* running when you edited and saved the config.json file. The application saves the config.json while closing the app. If you edited the config.json when the application was running, it will be overridden by the values in the memory. Thus, make sure the app is closed while editing the config.json. Then save the config.json, and launch the app afterwards. 44 | 45 | 46 | ### I edited the config.json. Now I lost all my tabs and bookmarks. What happened? 47 | If the config.json is edited improperly, the app will fail to read the config.json. In such case, the app will try to read previous version of config.json. If that fails as well, it will rest the settings. The app attempts to back up config files that it failed to read and it should be stored in the App folder. 48 | 49 | 50 | ### I would like to access my network locations quicker. Is there any way to do so? 51 | There are two potential methods to ease accessing network locations. 52 | 1. Type the location (e.g. "\\share\foldername") in the path and navigate to the folder. Now bookmark the path (Ctrl + D) or right click and Pin to Navigation Bar. 53 | 2. Map the location as a drive from Windows File Explorer. The path will now show up in the list of drives in Shrestha Files! 54 | 55 | 56 | ### What is the difference between the Pro X and Free version? 57 | The Pro X version is updated more often than the Free version. Some features are available only in the Pro X version. The free version shows a prompt requesting to consider purchasing the Pro X version every time it is launched. Users' support is essential to continue improving the app further. This includes sharing the apps to others, providing feedback, sending bug information, requesting new features, and purchasing the Pro X version. While all feature requests cannot be fulfilled, the developer will attempt to fulfill features that are requested by more users which requires less effort to implement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /faqUniversal.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | title: Frequently Asked Questions 3 | layout: default 4 | filename: faq 5 | --- 6 | 7 | 8 | ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 9 | ### Why does the app crash for no reason? 10 | Many versions of Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems exists, and they run on a wide range of hardware.

What's wrong? 13 | Make sure that the Windows 10 File Access permission is granted for Shrestha Files. You can either go to 14 | ```Windows 10(X) Settings -> Privacy -> File System -> Toggle On File Access for Shrestha Files.``` 15 | OR 16 | ```Shrestha Files Settings (Gear Icon) -> File Access Permission -> Toggle On File Access for Shrestha Files.``` 17 | Once toggled, Shrestha files will close automatically. Launch Shrestha Files again! 18 | 19 | ### Where is the config file located? 20 | By default, the config.json file should be located in the folder location similar to the one shown below. Replace with the actual user name. 21 | 22 | ```C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\43158JPTGamesandApps.ShresthaFiles-AModernDualPane_pnxmbr0ydfejr\LocalState ``` 23 | 24 | The AppData is a hidden folder and is not visible from Shrestha Files, but if you type the path, it should be able to show the contents inside. Alternately, you can click the 25 | 26 | ```Open Application Folder ``` 27 | icon on the top right side of the 28 | ```Log Viewer``` 29 | 30 | to load the folder. 31 | 32 | 33 | ### Where is log file stored? 34 | Log file (log.txt) is stored in 35 | 36 | ```C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\43158JPTGamesandApps.ShresthaFiles-AModernDualPane_pnxmbr0ydfejr\TempState ``` 37 | 38 | Alternately, click on the ```Log Viewer``` -> ```Open Full Log``` to open log file in a text viewer (such as the Notepad). 39 | 40 | 41 | ### All my tabs and bookmarks are gone after updating the app. Can I recover them? 42 | The tabs, bookmarks, and other settings are stored in config.json file.

While attempts are made to upgrade the config files automatically, sometimes such process fails and can crash the app. In such case, you might need to rename or move the config.json and its versions in the LocalState folder.

Thus, make sure the app is closed while editing the config.json. Then save the config.json, and launch the app afterwards. 50 | 51 | 52 | ### I edited the config.json.

In such case, the app will try to read previous version of config.json. If that fails as well, it will rest the settings. The app attempts to back up config files that it failed to read and it should be stored in the App folder. 54 | 55 | 56 | ### Shrestha Files does not show shortcuts, hidden files, and system files, why? 57 | UWP APIs have platform limitations that do not allow accessing some files such as shortcut (.url, .lnk, etc.), hidden files, and system files. Microsoft needs to allow access to such files before Shrestha Files is able to show such files. From one side, this is a limitation for the app. From another side, this could be better option if users would like to make sure they are not manipulating hidden and/or system files. 58 | 59 | 60 | ### Shrestha Files failed to open some files, why? 61 | Some files such as .exe and .bat are considered risky by Microsoft. As such, the UWP APIs cannot launch such files. 62 | 63 | 64 | ### I would like to access my network locations quicker. Is there any way to do so? 65 | There are two potential methods to ease accessing network locations. 66 | 1. Type the location (e.g. "\\share\foldername") in the path and navigate to the folder. Now bookmark the path (Ctrl + D) or right click and Pin to Navigation Bar. 67 | 2. Map the location as a drive from Windows File Explorer. The path will now show up in the list of drives in Shrestha Files! 68 | 69 | 70 | ### Shrestha Files takes a split second extra time to load the files and folders when compared to Windows File Explorers and other classic (win32) file managers, why? 71 | The UWP apps need to access files and folders through a runtime broker provided by Microsoft instead of accessing the files and folders directly. This runtime broker is slower than more direct access (that is used by win32 apps). Microsoft is working to improve the file access speed in the Project Reunion. Once Microsoft completes the project, the tab loading speed will improve further. Meanwhile the developer is working to improve the tab loading speed using the existing APIs as much as practical and possible. 72 | 73 | 74 | ### What is the difference between the Pro and Free version? 75 | The pro version is updated more often than the Free version. Some features are available only in the Pro version. The free version also shows a prompt requesting to consider purchasing a pro version every time the Free version is launched. Users' support is essential to continue improving the app further. This includes sharing the apps to others, providing feedback, sending bug information, requesting new features, and purchasing the pro version. While all feature requests cannot be fulfilled, the developer will attempt to fulfill features that are requested by more users and that requires less effort to implement. 76 | 77 |

We understand the importance of clearly communicating the users' privacy policy. 11 | 12 | The app does not collect any user identifiable information! Below are the relevant information about the app's permissions and their purposes. 13 | 14 | * Windows File System Access 15 | * The app requires access to Windows File System to execute the app's core functionalities (as a file manager). For the Shrestha Files Pro X version, user do not need to make any changs to provide the File System Accesss. For the Shrestha Files Universal version, users can enable the file access from: ```Windows Settings -> Privacy -> File System -> Toggle On File Access for Shrestha Files.``` 16 | * Shrestha Files does not transmit any user files or folders outside users' computer. (Note that this excludes the user initiated actions such as when a user is copying files/folders to the network locations themselves). 17 | 18 | 19 | * Internet Access 20 | * The app requires access to the internet for the following purposes. 21 | * App Update: The app checks for an updated version at the app launch. The update check at startup maybe enabled/disabled based on a setting (no GUI). Checking for the update and downloading the updates require internet access. 22 | * License Check: The app connects to Microsoft Store to check the app purchase status to enable or disable paid features. 23 | * Microsoft adds telemetry apps to all UWP apps to collect statistics about app such as acquisitions and launches. It also generates dump files when the app crashes which are also transmitted to a Microsoft Server. It also collects non-identifying user data such as the country, device model, and the operating system version. 24 | * Microsoft Visual Studio App Center APIs are used to collect crash information and analytics to understand the errors, crashes, and users behaviors within the app. For example, the analytics can enable the developer to know the most popular colorful theme. It can help the developer understand what led to an app crash. The error logs (but not warning, performance, or info message logs) shown in the Log Viewer are also sent to the App Center. 25 | 26 | * Clipboard Access 27 | * The app checks for clipboard information to enable or disable paste option in the context menu (right click options) and to paste the data (such as file/folder) stored in the clipboard. 28 | 29 | 30 | If users have any further question or concern, please contact us at JPTGamesAndApps@Outlook.Com. 31 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /speedtest.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | title: Speed Test 3 | layout: default 4 | filename: speedtest 5 | --- 6 | 7 |
