DeskBox 1.5.8

5 hours ago

DeskBox 1.5.8 keeps DeskBox and Explorer at the same integrity level, and explains accurately when they can't be. Fully elevated desktops — company-managed machines included — no longer see the administrator notice, because drag and drop works there. When the notice does appear, it closes the elevated instance in one click and provides the steps to restart with normal privileges, including how to clear a shortcut's "Run as administrator" checkbox. One-click updates restart the app at the shell's own level, so an elevated machine no longer comes back as administrator after updating. When Explorer itself runs elevated, the app stays usable — the reveal hotkey and settings keep working — and diagnostics can now detect a shortcut-level "Run as administrator" flag.

The maintenance wave lands with it: Todo-widget drags no longer crash; switching groups no longer loses stacked-member icons; cutting a subfolder and pasting it into its parent no longer hangs; auto-organization rules stay enabled across restarts; a repeatedly crashing desktop no longer leaves DeskBox restarting in a loop at sign-in; an update-download failure no longer errors when another dialog is open; and an instance relaunched with normal privileges can be ended by Task Manager without elevation.

Released

  • Date: 2026-10-14
  • Version: 1.5.8
  • Tag: v1.5.8

Highlights

  • More accurate administrator notices. The notice now appears only when DeskBox runs above the shell. When it appears, one click exits the elevated instance and the notice walks through restarting with normal privileges — including how to clear a shortcut's "Run as administrator" checkbox. Autostart continues to restart silently with normal privileges. All 12 languages.
  • Updates keep the shell's level. The updater restarts the app at Explorer's own privilege level whenever the shell offers a standard-user context, so machines that ran elevated no longer relaunch as administrator after a one-click update.
  • Usable under an elevated Explorer. With Explorer running above DeskBox, the reveal hotkey and settings stay reachable, an explanatory notice replaces the untranslated failure box, and the rare fatal-startup message is localized with its diagnosed causes.
  • Maintenance wave. Todo drag crash, stacked-icon loss on group switch, subfolder cut-and-paste hang, auto-organization rules being disabled by restart, logon restart loops on crashing desktops, the update-failure dialog collision, shortcut run-as detection in diagnostics, and terminability of relaunched instances.

Validation

  • 5,508 tests passing (tests/DeskBox.Tests, x64), including the new integrity-asymmetry contract matrix (predicate, notice variant, updater guard with the fully-elevated-shell case pinned to inherit).
  • Main-machine flows verified: elevated launch → notice (exit form) → normal restart with drag working; unattended elevated autostart → silent normal-privilege restart; taskkill from a standard shell ends the restarted instance.
  • Store per-arch package audits passed (identity pinned, working tree fingerprinted).

中文说明

DeskBox 1.5.8 让 DeskBox 与资源管理器保持在同一完整性级别,无法保持时给出准确说明。全桌面提权的电脑(含公司统一管理机)不再显示管理员提示——这些环境下拖放功能本就正常;提示出现时,可一键退出当前实例并按步骤以普通权限重新打开,其中包含取消快捷方式"以管理员身份运行"勾选的方法。一键更新按资源管理器的权限级别重启应用,提权电脑更新后不再以管理员身份回来。资源管理器以管理员运行时应用保持可用(唤出热键与设置继续工作),诊断还能识别快捷方式级"以管理员身份运行"勾选。

发布信息

  • 日期: 2026-10-14
  • 版本: 1.5.8
  • 标签: v1.5.8

主要更新

  • 更准确的管理员运行提示。 提示只在 DeskBox 以高于资源管理器的权限运行时出现;出现时可一键退出并按步骤以普通权限重新打开(含取消快捷方式管理员勾选的方法)。开机自启继续静默以普通权限重启。全部 12 种语言。
  • 更新保持 Shell 级别。 只要资源管理器提供标准用户环境,更新器就按其权限级别重启应用。
  • 资源管理器提权时保持可用。 唤出热键与设置继续工作,说明弹窗替代未本地化的错误提示。
  • 维护波次。 待办拖拽崩溃、切组丢叠放图标、子目录剪切粘贴卡死、自动整理规则跨重启保持、登录重启循环、更新失败弹窗冲突、快捷方式管理员勾选诊断、重启实例的可终止性。

验证状态

  • 测试套件 5,508 项全部通过(x64),含新增完整性非对称契约矩阵。
  • 主机实测:提权启动→提示(退出形态)→普通权限重启且拖拽正常;提权自启→静默普通权限重启;普通权限 taskkill 可结束重启实例。
  • 商店双架构包审计通过(身份钉住、工作树指纹)。
