Due to the stupidity of Long (that's me), all comments on the Windows 7 Taskforce after March has been lost.
As a result of this unfortunate event, a transition to a new backend (the one powering heresanidea.net) is being considered.

This website is part of the community Taskforce initiative

Cycle Songs with Back/Forward Mouse Buttons

Submitted by pedro_cesar on February 15, 2010 to Usability

Nowadays many windows applications make use of most mouse buttons. WMP12 seems to be an exception. With the back and forward buttons on almost every single mouse being produced right now it would be nice to be able to cycle songs with them.

Link "Previous" and "Next" buttons in WMP with the Back and Forward buttons in the mouse respectively (It would be also nice if it worked on top of the Aero Peek).

Ctrl + Right/Left Arrow Conflict WMP 12

Submitted by pedro_cesar on February 6, 2010 to Annoyance, Usability

When in almost any text editor you press ctrl + left/right arrow you would skip words arrow-ward. WMP didn't use to be the exception before 12.

WMP12 has assigned that key combination to cycling among playlists. For me it isn't (more...)

Keep the playlist from cycling when you press ctrl + left/right arrow if you're editing a field, or assign a new key combination to the playlist cycle function.

Reshow Windows Right, After Changing Display

Submitted by pedro_cesar on February 6, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug

When you attach/detach a display to your computer, the current display will blink. Then all the windows you had maximized will show a couple pixels smaller than actually maximized.

Return the windows to way they were.

Gadget Always on Top issue

Submitted by pedro_cesar on January 30, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

If you mark a gadget as Always on Top, if you move it into the space -on the screen- taken by a second gadget, this second gadget will show itself as "Always on Top" until you modify any setting from the right click.

Also if you (more...)

Make sure the always on top option does not passes to other gadgets.

Merge Folder

Submitted by pedro_cesar on January 30, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug

When you merge two folders and you choose to delete every single file inside the first one, when it ends it leaves the folder you copied the data from; empty.

If the folder where you copied from remains empty, give the user an easy option to delete it.
NOTE: Take hidden and system files into account before deleting.

Pause Wallpaper SlideShow

Submitted by pedro_cesar on January 13, 2010 to Aesthetics, Annoyance

A lot of times it's happened to me that I'm watching the wallpaper and I want it to stay (pause the slideshow), because I like it or whatever other reason I got.

Right now all you can do is create a new set of Wallpapers with (more...)

Add a "Pause SlideShow" or a "Freeze Desktop Background" option (I like the last better) right below "Next Desktop Background" in the Desktop's right-click menu.

If you repeatedly click on "Next Desktop Background" too fast, at some point the selected theme will be replaced for another one exactly the same settings but with only one wallpaper.

Submitted by pedro_cesar on November 28, 2009 to Annoyance

When you click on the Network Connections near the clock on the system tray you get your connections categorized. The categories are always shown, even if you collapsed any.

Duplicated Start Menu Search Result

Submitted by pedro_cesar on November 18, 2009 to Annoyance

Sometimes when you use the in-menu search of the start menu you get duplicate results. I GUESS they actually ARE duplicated and therefore this is not a bug per se.

But still there shouldn't be two entries in the search pointing to (more...)

A filter could be applied to the search results (this, of course, should be transparent to the user) where each result is compared to all results already in the list to check for duplicity.

Border Padding Resetting

Submitted by pedro_cesar on November 3, 2009 to Bug

When you specify a padding border for the windows it might reset randomly after a couple (perhaps maybe even one) computer reset, taking it back to 4.

I've only ran tests changing the size to 1 and 2 when I notices this so I'm (more...)

Extra option for the: "Not Enough Space on Disk" dialog

Submitted by pedro_cesar on September 5, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

If you try to copy a folder to a disk and the space on the disk is less than the total weight of the folder then a dialog appears advising you of this and giving you 2 options: "Try Again" and "Cancel", so far so good.

What (more...)

I can think of two solutions (that could be even used together for even greater usability)... The first one wold be to ask first if you want to merge the two folders, ask you what do you want to do with the files (keep the old one or replace the new one)* (more...)
