I just wish you could drag a file onto an app's icon to open it like you can in macOS.

I drag and drop files onto emulators all the time but maybe it's program specific and not Windows? I might be missing something though

You have been able to drag files/things onto program icons in folder windows since (File) Explorer was introduced in Windows 95, and I think you could even drag files onto program files in File Manager in Windows 3.1. But you have never been able to drag files onto program icons in the task bar, at least not in Windows 98, and not since Windows 7 when the new-style taskbar with pinned programs were introduced. In past versions it just failed/gave you an error, and in Windows 7 dragging any file onto any location of the task bar (over a program icon or not) will just try to pin it to the task bar. I don't think it worked in any of Me/2000/XP/Vista either.

It's this. In macOS, dragging a file onto a program's icon in the dock will open the file using that program.

Flipperwaldt posted:You can drag files to taskbar icons in windows 10 to pin them in the right click menu for that taskbar icon. It's not a thing I've ever done, but it's missing from your list of behaviors. Kind-of and still not. If you drag a file that isn't a program in itself to the taskbar, and the program to open that file isn't pinned, it will pin the program to open that file instead of the file. You can't pin individual files to the taskbar.

VelociBacon posted:Imagine making this popup and not just allowing the behavior.... The reason is that an application can define multiple drop targets which will react to the file differently. E.g. you have an app with a bunch of windows inside it, each representing a separate folder. Dropping a file in a window copies the file to that folder. The app is minimised and you drag the file onto the taskbar icon instead. Which folder does the file get copied into? If you drag the file over the taskbar button and just hold it there, it will bring that app to the foreground and you can then drop it in the right place. But if you just drop it on the taskbar button it can’t do anything. Since you probably expected it to do something not realising the technical reasons why it’s not possible, they pop up that info box instead of just ignoring your drop action on the taskbar button entirely

As opposed to the Dock, which lists each application as its own icon, and any windows that are minimized go into a separate section on the right. It makes sense now, because it all flows from the design.

Yeah, completely my bad sick British sense of humour. Really doesn't translate well outside of the sickos I work with. Anyhoo, I had Windows 11 installed on our ancient laptop with the TPM check disabled, an i3 Ivy Bridge 2 core 4 thread CPU with 4GB RAM and an Intel SSD. For some reason Windows 11 ran like poo poo and I reinstalled Windows 10. A month or two ago I upgraded the RAM to 16GB to try to get some more life out of the laptop and last night I put 11 on it. For whatever reason it now runs surprisingly well, despite using only 5 to 6GB RAM of the total. I don't know if something was up with the original 11 install but surely more (currently mostly unused) RAM shouldn't have made much difference?

WattsvilleBlues posted:Yeah, completely my bad sick British sense of humour. Really doesn't translate well outside of the sickos I work with. The difference your upgrade has demonstrated is in how much Windows can precache. With 4GB RAM you’ve got memory pressure just from loading the kernel, Explorer, and the various services that comprise Windows in the year 2024. With 16GB RAM that ceiling is gone - all of Windows can comfortably load, and it can preload various libraries and executables it predicts you’ll need before you launch those programs. Windows has also historically had a tendency to aggressively use swap space; in 4GB RAM you’re going to thrash a lot more, which is going to further negatively impact your experience.
