UWP is too restrictive... I am happier right now with c++ and Linux and have no plans to return to UWP soon.

@inaba Almost every action a typical file manager would complete (list all files on all drives, launch programs, etc.) Is restricted or straight up not allowed by UWP.

yeah on the file manager side is restrictive (on purpose), many things are allowed but you don't have direct access to filesystem everytime you need to "ask acces" to folder and files, for that you should use win32

Holy crap, these look legit awesome, thanks for sharing. I'll probably end up using some of this stuff.

@AlgoRythm I mean, having restricted access to the file system (with access granted by permissions?) seems like a wonderful thing imo

@AlgoRythm just FYI in the discord server they were discussing how to speed up UWP filesystem access using win32 APIs, when you'll interest on develop your UWP file explorer come back, you can join and ask for help/suggestions :)
