Windows 8 compatibility #370

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

A few things will need to be adjusted for Windows 8 compatibility:

 * Disable Aero Flip hot corner, since Windows now uses it itself for Metro.
 * There seem to be double click issues in My Computer directory.

In addition, all events that use ${WinVer} need to be changed to use the more 
appropriate ${WindowsVersion} placeholder that uses a version number instead of 
a name. For readability placeholders for the different operating systems could 
be added.

 * FastFolder registry entries mustn't be saved on Windows 8 and their settings should not be visible since they are not available in Windows 8 explorer.

Double click was a false alert it seems, caused by something else and now fixed.

Hot corner condition has been changed, others are still needed.

Not much, there are Win 8 beta versions out there already...right now I'm just 
making sure that 7plus will run as expected, I don't adjust it for any new 
features or so yet.

Downloading and installing Windows 8 Release Preview x64 now to make sure 
everything is working properly.

The left application bar in Win8 does not disappear when 7plus is running.

${WindowsVersion} placeholder is now used in all events. It turned out that it 
was not really needed for the existing events because the old conditions 
produced proper results for Win8 as well.

This only leaves some testing for Win8 compatibility in this issue.
