Microsoft Makes File Management Less Painful in Windows 8
Anyone who's ever had to prepare for a reinstall of their Windows OS -- be it to prepare for an upgrade, or to try to solve technical issues -- is familiar with the pain of slow copies, dealing with at times confusing name collisions, and multiple cluttering Windows.Microsoft Corp. is very aware of these issues (in recent years it's increasingly collected remote telemetry data from volunteers to determine what's going wrong and right in Windows). And in Windows 8, its plan is to offer a dramatically improved file transfer experience.
In a post to the Microsoft Developer Network "Building Windows" blog and a corresponding video, Windows engineering team manager Alex Simons shows off the new features.
When executing multiple simultaneous copies, gone are the multiple windows of yore. You now get a single comprehensive panel. Each transfer element offers the option of cancelling or pausing the transfer. For example, if you want to speed up a specific transfer, you can pause your other transfers so the system resources will focus on the targeted transaction.
The GUI element also has an option to provide detailed information on each transaction, including an eye-catching chart of the transfer speed. The features in the new pane closely resemble those you find in modern browsers for tracking downloads -- and it's a good thing.
