Current task if any, copying and transferring files in Windows suffered from some shortcomings, particularly in terms of user interface, that Microsoft seems to have opted to fill with Windows 8. Its future benefit system in effect viewing options and management of duplicates are welcome, presented today by the publisher.
By the admission of Steven Sinofsky, president, Windows interface elements and management involved when copying or transferring files had not changed for a long time in the flagship of the operating system from Microsoft. Windows 8, however, should provide some welcome additions to this level, detailed Tuesday in a blog post of the editor.
At first, no more multiple windows will be there: all transfers will be brought together in a single information, in which one can view, pause, or cancel ongoing trade. We can also directly access the source and destination or locations of transfers from this window.
The section dedicated to detailed information will be enriched in the turn, pointing to a chart in real time flow rates achieved during the transfer. Aware that the transfer time estimates provided by the system to the user is still questionable, Microsoft will complete the more factual data, such as the number of items remaining to be transferred, or the average flow observed.
As far as copying files, Microsoft reports that it worked on the window that appears when there is a conflict between two files with the same name. Windows 8, the window that offers to crush one of the other two files will display in the case of photos, a miniature to see directly if this is the same document. It will also be possible to accept the copy without a document that replaces the other, via an incrementing file name (adding one digit). The multiple conflicts can also be directly managed within a single window.
Remember that, Microsoft will release Windows 8 from 12 September, during the conference Build. The publisher finally spoke about native support for USB 3.0 in its system.
