QuickView v6.52.5.0 Pre-Release

Note

📢 Notice Regarding Development Progress

Hey everyone, please accept my sincere apologies as updates and active development will be temporarily paused for approximately one month due to an important work commitment that requires my full attention.

During this period, if you encounter any bugs or unexpected behavior, please feel free to report them in the Issues tab as usual. I will check in whenever I find some spare time; however, I likely won't be able to push out immediate fixes. Once the current task is concluded, I will be back right away to resume active development. Thank you all so much for your continuous support and understanding! ❤️

What's Changed

1. Window State & Shell Controls

• Seamless Restore on Minimized Activation (#144):
  • Resolved an issue where clicking a minimized QuickView window on the Windows Taskbar in custom frameless mode could fail to restore the window and trigger a Windows Shell alert beep.
  • Windows activation messages (WM_ACTIVATE) arriving while in an iconic or minimized state now immediately issue ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE), synchronizing state transitions smoothly.
• Standardized Window Minimization:
  • Standardized the custom titlebar minimize button to dispatch SC_MINIMIZE via WM_SYSCOMMAND, aligning with standard Windows shell conventions.

2. Shell Drag & Drop Performance

• Immediate Drag-and-Drop Lock Release:
  • Invoked DragFinish earlier during WM_DROPFILES processing. This releases the exclusive lock held by Windows Explorer (or external drag sources) immediately, eliminating minor interface hangs in source windows and improving drag-and-drop responsiveness.

3. Code Hygiene & Cleanup

• Removed Redundant Global Variables (#261):
  • Cleaned up the unused global variable g_windowDpi, keeping the core codebase concise and maintainable.
