- Use detectedFormat flags instead of clipboardData.Contains() for
extraction decisions — avoids race condition where Contains() returns
false after initial detection
- Wrap all clipboard data extraction in try-catch to gracefully handle
stale clipboard state
- Remove format from array only when extraction actually fails
- Runner: improved fallback to prefer formats with available data
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
When clipboard has multiple formats (e.g. [image, text]) but data for one
format is missing (e.g. image_path empty), the runner now picks the best
format that has both a matching function AND available data, instead of
blindly using the first format in the array.

Redesign the Python script extension interface to use a function-based
contract instead of platform-specific clipboard access:
- Scripts define a single convert() function that receives clipboard data
as keyword arguments and returns the result
- Format support is inferred from the function's parameter names
(text, html, image_path, file_paths, work_dir)
- Return value can be str, dict, Path, or list — runner normalizes it
- Platform tag eliminated — unified execution on Windows and WSL
- Only 'name' header remains required; desc, formats, platform all optional/inferred
- Ships _runner.py bootstrap that handles JSON stdin/stdout plumbing
- Full backward compat: scripts without convert() use legacy V1 paths

## Summary of the Pull Request
The default CIELab format rounds the values to two decimal places, which
is a degree of precision that isn't always needed. This PR adds an
optional formatting character (i) to the three CIELab format parameters,
which rounds the value to the nearest integer.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
In the case where a or b get rounded to -0 (e.g. -0.0001 rounds to -0),
the negative sign gets removed. However, I noticed during testing that
the default format (rounding to two decimal places) retains the negative
sign in these situations (see third screenshot). I can a) revert to
keeping the -0 for the new rounding behavior, b) change -0 to 0 for
other rounded values, or c) leave it as-is. Also open to suggestions.
I can update the docs as well, if we're happy with the approach.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Settings: Can change the default CIELab format to display rounded
values

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR replaces the use of the property AppWindow.IsShownInSwitchers,
which requires a running explorer.exe instance, with
HiddenOwnerWindowBehavior. This behavior is used by MainWindow and
ToastWindow to hide the window by utilizing both the Tool Window style
and a safely invoked IsShownInSwitchers.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds new options to the All Apps built-in extension:
- Also include non-app shortcuts from the Start menu
- Enabled by default
- Also include non-app shortcuts from the desktop
- Disabled by default
The default states reflect that Start menu shortcuts are largely curated
by installers, and the Start menu itself typically does not surface
non-app items. Desktop shortcuts, on the other hand, are more likely to
be created by the user.

Add support for a "dock" window in CmdPal. The dock is a toolbar powered
by the `APPBAR` APIs. This gives you a persistent region to display
commands for quick shortcuts or glanceable widgets.
The dock can be pinned to any side of the screen.
The dock can be independently styled with any of the theming controls
cmdpal already has
The dock has three "regions" to pin to - the "start", the "center", and
the "end".
Elements on the dock are grouped as "bands", which contains a set of
"items". Each "band" is one atomic unit. For example, the Media Player
extension produces 4 items, but one _band_.
The dock has only one size (for now)
The dock will only appear on your primary display (for now)
This PR includes support for pinning arbitrary top-level commands to the
dock - however, we're planning on replacing that with a more universal
ability to pin any command to the dock or top level. (see #45191). This
is at least usable for now.
This is definitely still _even more preview_ than usual PowerToys
features, but it's more than usable. I'd love to get it out there and
start collecting feedback on where to improve next. I'll probably add a
follow-up issue for tracking the remaining bugs & nits.

When neither option is selected, then the resulting .mp4 container won't
have an audio track added to it.
This is due to the recent audio input addition. As a result, all .mp4
recordings now have an audio track, even if empty. Restoring the prior
functionality, where just the h264 video is present on no audio.

This change allows our contact menu factory to actually create and add
additional context menu commands for pinning commands to the top level.
Now for any command provider built with the latest SDK that return
subcommands with an ID, we will add additional context menu commands
that allows you to pin that command to the top level.

This PR notably does not remove pinning from the apps extension. I
thought that made sense to do as a follow-up PR for the sake of
reviewability.
---
description from #45676 which was merged into this
Removes the code that the apps provider was using to support pinning
apps to the top level list of commands. Now the all apps provider just
uses the global support for pinning commands to the top level.
This does have the side effect of removing the separation of pinned apps
from unpinned apps on the All Apps page. However, we all pretty much
agree that wasn't a particularly widely used feature, and it's safe to
remove.
With this, we can finally call this issue done 🎉

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds a new default option to the All Apps extension settings.
- Adds an explicit "Default (n)" option to the choices list as the
default. This option is not tied to a concrete number of items, allowing
the value to change in the future.
- Fixes backward compatibility for users who installed the extension
when `"0"` was accidentally used as the default search result limit
(d07f40eec3). Existing `"0"` values are now treated as "use default
(10)" instead of producing zero results.
- Renames the intentional "0 results" setting value from `"0"` to
`"none"` so it can be clearly distinguished from the previous accidental
default.
- Moves result-limit parsing from `AllAppsCommandProvider` into
`AllAppsSettings`, exposing a parsed `int?` property instead of a raw
string.
- Adds `IgnoreUnknownValue` to `ChoiceSetSetting` so unrecognized stored
values (such as the old `"0"`) are silently ignored on load, preserving
the initialized default.
- Without this the drop-down value in the adaptive card shows as empty.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR unlocks lightning-fast mode for Command Palette:
- Hides visual and motion distractions when updating the result list:
- Ensures the first interactable result item is selected as early as
possible after the result list is updated, reducing flashing and
blinking caused by the selection highlight moving around.
- Removes the list item selection indicator animation (unfortunately by
removing the pill altogether for now) and prevents it from temporarily
appearing on other items as the selection moves.
- Adds a new "Results" section header above the home page results when
no other section is present.
- This ensures the first item on the home page has consistent visuals
and styling, preventing offsets and excessive visual changes when
elements are replaced in place.
- Improves update performance and container reuse:
- Fixes the `removed` output parameter in `ListHelper.UpdateInPlace` to
only include items that were actually removed (items that were merely
moved to a different position should not be reported as removed).
- Adds unit tests to prevent regression.
- Updates `ListHelper.UpdateInPlace` for `ObservableCollection` to use
`Move` instead of `Remove`/`Add`, and avoids `Clear` to prevent
`ListView` resets (which force recreation of all item containers and are
expensive).
- Adds a simple cache for list page item view models to reduce
unnecessary recreation during forward incremental search.
- `ListViewModel` and `FetchItems` have no notion of item lifetime or
incremental search phase, so the cache intentionally remains simple
rather than clever.
- Updates ListPage templates to make them a little lighter:
- Tag template uses OneTime, instead of OneWay - since Tag is immutable
- Replaces ItemsControl with ItemsRepeater for Tag list on list items
- Increases the debounce for showing the details pane and adds a
debounce for hiding it. This improves performance when browsing the list
and prevents the details pane animation from bouncing left and right

## Summary of the Pull Request
Current behavior is that GPO policies are enforced on the Light Switch
settings page but not on the dashboard or quick access menu's. This
allows the user to still toggle Light Switch settings in scenarios where
GPO is either forcing it to be enabled or disabled. This PR addresses
that issue.
<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## PR Checklist
- [x] Closes: #43754
## Additional notes
This PR only addresses issues on the dashboard page and in the quick
access menu as described by
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/43754.
This PR also fixed an issue where modules were not showing in the Quick
access menu when GPO is set to "Enabled" until you visited the module
specific page. When modules are forced enabled, they should appear in
Quick Access upon launch if they have a quick access entry.
This issue does not address issue
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/42484 which was fixed with
the PR https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/44567

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR configures the Command Palette's .editorconfig to format MSBuild
project and props files, and reformats the files accordingly.
No functional changes.
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR is a light cleanup on Window Walker built-in extension:
- Removes unused types
- Removes redundant code
- Fixes inconsistent naming conventions
- De-LINQ-ify
- Fixes XML doc
- Updates language constructs to the latest (use of
System.Threading.Lock, Collection expressions)
- Updates types and members visibility and makes static classes static
⚠️ Trickiest part are 44ac1c1 and 26c946c that removes redundant null
checks.
- Upgrade to WASDK 1.8.5 that includes a fix for the `TitleBar` control.
- Remove the workaround from windows that use this control, as we can
set the `TitleBar` directly now
Add back the default language option to the resources for better
localization support. This change is fixing a regression:
Two bugs here:
1. The original commit by Stefan had a case mismatch (Default_language
vs Default_Language) — latent bug
2. Niels's PR used Copilot CLI to find dead strings, which incorrectly
removed a live resource due to the case
mismatch

XamlCompiler warning **WMC1506**: OneWay bindings require at least one
of their steps to support raising notifications when their value changes
<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Updated the binding mode for controls in `CheckUpdateControl.xaml` and
`ShortcutConflictWindow.xaml` to `OneTime` to enhance efficiency.

This pull request introduces an improvement to how screenshot filenames
are generated in `ZoomIt`. The main change is to ensure that each
screenshot is saved with a unique, timestamped filename, which helps
prevent accidental overwrites and keeps files sorted chronologically.
**Enhancement to screenshot filename generation:**
* Added a new implementation for `GetUniqueScreenshotFilename()` in
`Zoomit.cpp` to generate screenshot filenames using the current date and
time, following the format `"ZoomIt YYYY-MM-DD HHMMSS.png"`. This
reduces the risk of overwriting existing files and improves file
organization.<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR:
Includes an update to create unique screenshot filenames, saving the
user from having to manually type a new filename each time they save a
new screenshot in the same location.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
## Unique filename issue
The PR fixes the user's complaint about the screenshots always being
called "zoomit" by adding a `GetUniqueScreenshotFilename()` method which
creates a unique filename based on the current date and time, e.g.
`ZoomIt 2025-11-01 004723.png`. This is consistent with other tools like
the Windows Snipping Tool and provides files which sort correctly when
ordered by name, which is not the case for files with simple numeric
suffixes.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Tested on a local build.
## Summary
Closes#39929
Adds a new "Keep previous query" toggle to Command Palette settings that
preserves the last search text when the palette is reopened after
running a command.
## Changes
- **`SettingsModel.cs`** — Added `KeepPreviousQuery` bool property
(defaults to `false`)
- **`SettingsViewModel.cs`** — Added property with auto-save on change
- **`GeneralPage.xaml`** — Added toggle switch in the Activation
section, below "Highlight search on activate"
- **`Resources.resw`** — Added localized header ("Keep previous query")
and description ("Preserves the last search text when Command Palette is
reopened")
- **`SearchBar.xaml.cs`** — `Receive(GoHomeMessage)` now checks the
setting and skips `ClearSearch()` when enabled
## Behavior
- **Off (default):** No change from current behavior — search text is
cleared on dismiss.
- **On:** When a command is run and the palette dismisses, the search
text is preserved. On reopen, the previous query is still in the search
box. Combined with the existing "Highlight search on activate" setting,
the text will be pre-selected so the user can immediately retype or
press Enter to re-run.
## Validation
- Setting off: search clears on dismiss (existing behavior unchanged)
- Setting on: search text persists across dismiss/reopen
- Setting serializes/deserializes correctly via existing JSON settings
infrastructure
- No impact on page navigation, escape key behavior, or auto-go-home
timer

## Summary
Fixes#45100
Uri.CheckHostName does not accept host:port strings (e.g.
localhost:3389), returning UriHostNameType.Unknown. This causes the RDP
extension to show an invalid hostname error when connecting to a local
forwarded port.
## Changes
- OpenRemoteDesktopCommand.cs - Strip port suffix before
Uri.CheckHostName validation. The full host:port is still passed to
mstsc /v:.
- FallbackRemoteDesktopItem.cs - Same port-aware validation so the
fallback correctly recognizes host:port queries and displays them in the
title.
- FallbackRemoteDesktopItemTests.cs - Added tests for localhost:3389 and
192.168.1.100:3390 inputs.
## Validation
Port detection uses LastIndexOf(':') + ushort.TryParse to safely
identify a trailing port number without affecting IPv6 addresses or
plain hostnames.
