Options window controls text and functionality update. #190
Many controls in the Options window have had their text changed, and in one case, their functionality completely replaced.
Fixes #183. Fixes #184. Fixes #73.
Changed:
Switched the tabs for Bypass configured location and the Office drive location (now simply Root drive path)
Instead of requiring users to type in the drive letter they installed Office to, they can now select it from a dropdown of all drives that are "ready". If they change the drive letter manually in the config file, it'll show up in the list, but changing it to something else and saving settings will get rid of it. Please be aware that this means arbitrary drive letters can no longer be placed into the drive letter box as only drives Windows determines as "ready" are available. This is what was originally intended, so it's no big loss.
Controls and groupboxes have been resized and repositioned so they look better.
Now the Enable Office 365/Click-to-Run Compatibility checkbox is hidden if Office 2019 is selected, since it's irrelevant for that version.
Tab text update:
General has been renamed to Versions + Compatibility
Advanced has been renamed to Root Path
Enable Office 365/Click-to-Run Compatibility checkbox has been changed to Enable Office 365/Click-to-Run Compatibility [line break] (Always enabled for Office 2019 and above)
Since 64-bit Office is the default for Office 2019 when downloaded from the Office website, there were changes in the Root Path tab:
64-bit Windows is now Program Files (x86): 32-bit Office on 64-bit Windows
32-bit Windows is now Program Files: 64-bit Office on 64-bit Windows, [line break] 32-bit Office on 32-bit Windows, or 32-bit Office 2013 from Office 365
Program Files... is the new default, since 64-bit Office is now the default download as mentioned above.
The description and recommended selection labels have been updated to accommodate this change.
My.Settings.cpuIsSixtyFourBit has been changed to My.Settings.pathUsePFxEightySix to reflect what it's really for. For those upgrading from an older version, there will be a thing that migrates this specific setting to the new setting. See #189. This didn't work out as expected.
Instead of using 32-bit Mode or 64-bit Mode in the titlebar, we'll now display PF Mode or PF-x86 Mode since that's more accurate to what's going on.
Settings defaults changes:
Default Office version has been changed to Office 2019/16nomsi
Default Program Files path setting has been changed to Program Files/My.Settings.pathUsePFxEightySix = False
The strings with "private" in their names that were used in the Office Locater code have been removed and the public strings are being modified instead. This'll help optimize things.
Removed:
Deleted the future change notice code since it's implemented now.
