Nov 1, 2024November 2024 for files-community/Files: Delivered two major UI features that drive user efficiency and visibility. Alternate Data Streams UI Icon (XAML-based) provides a dedicated visual cue and is wired into the action system to improve identification of Alternate Data Streams. Storage Visualization Controls (StorageBar and StorageRing) introduce new UI controls with arc rendering and configurable states (Safe, Caution, Critical, Disabled) to clearly represent data progress and status. No documented major bugs fixed in this dataset. Impact: clearer data-state visibility, faster recognition, and a more consistent UI across the app, enabling faster task completion and better data-driven decisions. Technologies/skills demonstrated: XAML UI design, custom control development, arc rendering, action-system integration, and code-quality focused deliveries.
