DeskBox 1.3.7

DeskBox 1.3.7 was prepared on August 5, 2026. This release unifies standalone and grouped file widgets, hardens repeated global-hotkey transitions, completes several file and search interactions, and makes direct upgrades safer and more visible.

Highlights

One file-widget implementation

• Standalone file widgets and grouped members now share FileSurfaceContent under the same content host. The legacy standalone file interaction tree and XAML have been removed.
• Icon and list views, detail and path settings, compact spacing, title styles, menus, sorting, auto stacks, QuickLook, and drag-and-drop now follow one implementation in both locations.
• Ctrl+Tab cycles through a group continuously, including from the last member back to the first.

Complete file interactions

• A newly created folder automatically scrolls into view and enters inline naming. New and existing folders can both be renamed.
• Files can be moved or copied directly onto a folder item without losing normal manual reorder behavior on the blank surface.
• Manual file order is flushed during shutdown and restored on a cold start, including incremental file changes.
• Shortcut drag-out uses a Shell-compatible virtual-file path, reports the expected operation, and reconciles the source after a completed move.
• Reorder insertion feedback uses a softer, more natural transition and no longer competes visually with a folder drop target.

Hotkeys, lifecycle, and saved state

• Rapid tray clicks or repeated global-hotkey presses are serialized through one visibility transaction. This prevents windows from being stranded off-screen or the global hotkey from becoming temporarily unresponsive.
• Window recovery covers display topology, DPI, sleep and resume, remote-session changes, and Explorer restarts, with additional state diagnostics.
• Settings use recoverable snapshots, pending changes are flushed before exit, and save failures are recorded instead of silently reverting to defaults.
• The weather widget restores the selected Day or Week view after restart.

Search and interface polish

• Search providers publish staged incremental results and are isolated so one unavailable source does not block the others.
• Ctrl/Shift multi-selection, rubber-band selection with edge auto-scroll, batch actions, result rows, sortable columns, and header hover states have been refined.
• File hover and selection use theme-adaptive Windows-style neutral colors with tighter corners. Close actions use one softer red treatment across widgets, and file context menus use a consistent order.
• The About page uses space more efficiently, includes a feedback email card, and omits the redundant repository button. A privacy-filtered diagnostics package can be exported for support.

Safer direct updates

• Installer identity and existing-path detection reuse and lock the current installation folder, preventing a normal upgrade from creating a second DeskBox installation.
• After DeskBox closes, the downloaded installer is shown normally so update progress remains visible without asking the user to choose a path again.
• A failed download can be retried or continued from the official website. Long release notes open in a dedicated view instead of being clipped above the progress bar.

Direct installer

• DeskBox_Setup_1.3.7_x64.exe supports most Intel and AMD Windows PCs.
• DeskBox_Setup_1.3.7_arm64.exe supports native Windows on ARM PCs.
• Both installers are framework-dependent. They reuse a compatible .NET 10 Runtime and Windows App Runtime 2.2 when present, and download only a missing dependency for the matching architecture.
• SHA-256 sidecar files are published with the installers on GitHub Releases.

Compatibility

• Windows 10 21H2 remains the minimum platform; Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 11 are the primary validation targets.
• x64 and ARM64 remain supported.

中文说明

DeskBox 1.3.7 于 2026 年 8 月 5 日准备发布。本版本统一独立文件格子与格子组的底层实现，强化连续全局快捷键切换，补齐文件与搜索交互，并让 Direct 升级流程更安全、更直观。

文件格子统一实现

• 独立文件格子与格子组成员统一使用 FileSurfaceContent 和同一内容宿主，旧独立文件交互树与 XAML 已删除。
• 图标/列表视图、详细信息和路径设置、紧凑间距、标题样式、菜单、排序、自动叠放、QuickLook 与拖放在两处均走同一套实现。
• Ctrl+Tab 可以在格子组内持续循环，包括从最后一个成员回到第一个成员。

文件交互补齐

• 新建文件夹后会自动滚动到可见位置并进入名称输入，新建和已有文件夹都可以重命名。
• 文件可以直接移动或复制到格子内的文件夹项目，同时保留在空白区域进行手动排序的正常行为。
• 手动文件顺序会在退出时刷新，并可在冷启动及增量文件变化后正确恢复。
• 快捷方式拖出使用兼容 Shell 的虚拟文件路径，显示预期操作，并在移动完成后同步源状态。
• 排序插入提示使用更柔和自然的过渡，不再与文件夹拖入目标产生视觉冲突。

快捷键、生命周期与配置保存

• 托盘连续点击或全局快捷键快速连按会进入同一个显隐事务，避免窗口丢失到屏幕外或全局快捷键暂时失效。
• 窗口恢复覆盖显示器拓扑、DPI、睡眠唤醒、远程会话和资源管理器重启，并增加对应状态诊断。
• 设置使用可恢复快照，退出前刷新待保存内容；保存失败会记录和提示，不再静默恢复默认值。
• 天气格子会在重启后恢复所选的日视图或周视图。

搜索与界面细节

• 搜索来源分阶段增量返回结果，并互相隔离；某个来源不可用时不会阻塞其他来源。
• 优化 Ctrl/Shift 多选、带边缘自动滚动的框选、批量操作、结果行、可排序列和表头悬停状态。
• 文件悬停和选中改为明暗自适应的 Windows 原生中性色并缩小圆角；所有格子的关闭操作使用统一且更柔和的红色，文件右键菜单顺序保持一致。
• 关于页减少无效空白，新增反馈邮箱卡片并移除重复的仓库按钮；遇到问题时可导出经过隐私过滤的一键诊断包。

Direct 更新更安全

• 安装器标识和已有路径检测会复用并锁定当前安装目录，普通升级不会再产生第二份 DeskBox。
• DeskBox 关闭后会正常显示已下载的安装器，用户可以看到更新进度，同时无需重新选择路径。
• 下载失败时可以重试或前往官网继续；较长版本日志改在独立界面打开，不再挤在进度条上方被截断。

Direct 安装包

• DeskBox_Setup_1.3.7_x64.exe：适用于大多数 Intel 和 AMD Windows 电脑。
• DeskBox_Setup_1.3.7_arm64.exe：适用于原生 Windows on ARM 电脑。
• 两个安装包均为框架依赖模式。系统已有兼容的 .NET 10 Runtime 和 Windows App Runtime 2.2 时直接复用；仅在缺少对应架构运行时时下载。
• GitHub Releases 会同时提供安装包的 SHA-256 校验文件。

兼容性

• 最低支持 Windows 10 21H2；主要验证目标为 Windows 10 22H2 与 Windows 11。
• 继续支持 x64 与 ARM64。
