DarkUltra Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hi!Windows 7 may look good, but I feel like sitting in front of a Mac, because of small issues hampering my effectiveness. Almost feel al ittle handicapped 1. no file size summary in the "details pane." Only shows how many items. Now I have to select all files and choose properties and then i can see what size they use.2. can't "breadcrumb" up to the desktop3. few windows are actually affected when changing window color4. must go to Advanced - Monitor to change screen refresh rate.5. can no longer close windows by right clicking their tab in task bar and pressing "c" on the keyboard.6. long filenames are truncated and hidden.7. Difficult to select files, not much space between file icons8. main window shadow too dark, hides too much of the windows behind9. The new super bar requires two clicks and identification of a thumbnail. I find this much slower then the classic with an icon and name.10. Sort by tabs like size and name should be present in all view modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to select all files and choose properties and then i can see what size they use.Works for me as long as I don't select a folder, which is the same way vista was.2. can't "breadcrumb" up to the desktopif you mean the ".." folders, sorry can't help there. Use the favorites listing desktop is right there.3. few windows are actually affected when changing window color4. must go to Advanced - Monitor to change screen refresh rate.Same as Vista, and XP5. can no longer close windows by right clicking their tab in task bar and pressing "c" on the keyboard.Shift right click then C6. long filenames are truncated and hidden.Where?7. Difficult to select files, not much space between file iconsAgain where? What view are you using?8. main window shadow too dark, hides too much of the windows behind9. The new super bar requires two clicks and identification of a thumbnail. I find this much slower then the classic with an icon and name.This I agree is a pain to get used to10. Sort by tabs like size and name should be present in all view modes.Well you don't have size in all view modes. And it sorts by the data displayed, yes they could sort by other data but then users would get confused when a folder was sorted Z, A, Q, B for no apparent reason.

Now I have to select all files and choose properties and then i can see what size they use.- I'd have to agree. It doesn't show the file size total of all files like it used to in XP. It's annoying.2. can't "breadcrumb" up to the desktop- Sure you can, see picture below. You can even add desktop to you favorites as I have done.6. long filenames are truncated and hidden.- sometimes it's better to truncate.9. The new super bar requires two clicks and identification of a thumbnail. I find this much slower then the classic with an icon and name.- just change the taskbar setting to "never combine". you'll go back to the classic way of displaying tasks in taskbar.10. Sort by tabs like size and name should be present in all view modes.Yes, sometimes I wish it wouldn't assume I need a "rating" column just because I have one picture of music file in the folder. This is one annoying feature. I don't care for rating in any of my folders.But anyway. you just have to work with it. No OS is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
