<story><title>Original Windows File Manager with enhancements</title><url>https://github.com/Microsoft/winfile</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>badsectoracula</author><text>I made a quick build: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;ZOcOBsl.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;ZOcOBsl.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is neat and i like how it remembers the sizing and open folders, but it really shows how much Microsoft has neglected Win32 and MDI in particular: the theme is still the same used 12 years ago in Vista and while i am not a fan of the Win8 nor the Win10 theme (my favorite theme is the classic theme), the inconsistency sticks out like a sore thumb. And of course beyond the lack of a visual update (that would take perhaps 1 hour to fix), there are visual glitches like this one: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;Vfm5ndc.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;Vfm5ndc.png&lt;/a&gt; (notice the black corners on the window at the right - ironically they happen because of the non-rectangular shape of the titlebar, which would not be the case if the Windows 8 or 10 themes were used since those are rectangular). And i suppose at this point it doesn&amp;#x27;t make much sense to mention missing features, like double clicking the top edge to maximize a window :-P.&lt;p&gt;Which sucks because i always liked MDI applications. I know that some studies or whatever have shown that novices often get confused, but personally i find the idea of having a &amp;quot;group&amp;quot; of windows inside the application that manage them to make more sense - especially for visual stuff, like image editors where i can open two views of the same document in different zoom levels. And i also find being able to move and resize the subwindows in any way i want (not limited to splits and such which i find more annoying and a waste of space than helpful).&lt;p&gt;Having said that i always &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; disliked, from the first day i saw it, the visual change from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 to make minimized windows look like tiny titlebars (they were called buttons but there is nothing button-y about how they ever looked in any version of Windows from 95 to today) instead of icons. mIRC adding a taskbar-like panel was a much better idea (you could say that novices would again be confused, but from what i remember from the late 90s and early 2000s, that didn&amp;#x27;t stop people from using mIRC :-P), but just sticking with icons would be fine too (i think icons inside the MDI area were supposed to be used for something else that i don&amp;#x27;t remember now, but i do not think any program ever used that).&lt;p&gt;EDIT: added a tiny feature to search multiple wildcards separated by semicolons :-) - &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;vi7BI7B.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;i.imgur.com&amp;#x2F;vi7BI7B.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;The code style is kinda weird though (3 spaces for each indentation level?) and seems that several comments are out of date :-P.</text></comment>
