What next? Vote please: x64 version or UAC support
Re: What next? Vote please: x64 version or UAC support
I voted for 64-bit because of the already mentioned reason that missing 64-bit version is limation, but missing UAC support is just a nuisance.
There are three reasons for programs to implement 64-bit:
1) More memory available
2) Compatibility with other 64-bit programs
3) No virtualization on 64-bit OS
While many programs are ported to 64-bit version because of the first point - they need more memory available - Salamander is special as it needs the 64-bit version because of the later two points
- compatibility with 64-bit shell extensions
- no virtualization on 64-bit OS, because with virtualization 32-bit Salamander cannot present real file and registry data

Note: With "virtualization" Zarevak means File system and Registry redirection, not Folder Virtualization.

I want UAC support. Put all the file operations in COM objects and use the moniker technique to deal with UAC. This is the greatest issue/request I have.

Re: What next? Vote please: x64 version or UAC support
hm...
do you plan to release x64 or UAC support prior to full unicode support in panels?
now when using Salamander on OS with fully English lang/locale settings - cyrillic symbols replaced with "?" and not possible to perform any operation with them.
Are both x64 and UAC really more important?

Full unicode support is more important than x64 and UAC support!

We do plan to support x64 and UAC before Unicode because of Unicode support complexity. Please post all messages about Unicode into another thread(s) because it has nothing to do with this one. Thank you.

I vote for x64 support. I need it for compatibility with TortoiseSVN.
Re: What next? Vote please: x64 version or UAC support
Note that you can install both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of TortoiseSVN on your system to have it available in all programs.mousemates wrote:I vote for x64 support. I need it for compatibility with TortoiseSVN.

Same for me, even if this topic doesn't belong in this thread.denominator wrote:IMO, Unicode support is much more wanted than both x64 and UAC features. Implementing x64 support is waste of time when the application is just unable to work with international characters in folder and file names.
1. Unicode
100. UAC
101. x64
After Unicode, UAC is more important, more disturbing.
AS in a x64 environment works just fine, most of time 32bit and 64 bit shell extensions are available.

Re: What next? Vote please: x64 version or UAC support
No use to talk about the first priority should be Unicode. It has been decided x64 and UAC have to be implemented first before Unicode. I understand the complexity to implement Unicode correctly. Hopefully it will become first priority after x64 and UAC.
Re: What next? Vote please: x64 version or UAC support
I prefer to express my opinion, perhaps it will show some effects, some reconsideration

Re: What next? Vote please: x64 version or UAC support
I doubt it will have any effect, request was made long time ago and i've been waiting for 5 years already. So lets pray they will start working on it after these 2 implementations.
Re: What next? Vote please: x64 version or UAC support
Same for me. I'm also praying since years.
And this year seems to be a good year, betas and a release during the same year.
But AS is such a great and nice tool, so I stick with it.
It's like a very good, expensive wine, which is getting better each year.
