Experience the details of Windows 8 easy to ignore

The Microsoft Windows 8 system has been officially released for some time. The new system cancels the Windows Start menu for many years, adding the "Start" screen and the charms, except for the traditional PC. Its interface style and function design are also closer to the operation of the touchable tablet. Of course, these changes are already very familiar to everyone. In fact, the Windows 8 system is more user-friendly in terms of optimization and changes. In this article, we will briefly introduce a few small details that are easily overlooked. When you look back carefully, you may be amazed at these changes. It will be very intimate and very efficient. First, the task manager

When you need to end a task, or stop a service of a task, we will go through the task manager, especially when the program is stuck in the run. But the task manager was obviously not something that Xiaobai played before, and the service names in the previous task manager were mostly in English, and the language barriers made it impossible for Xiaobai to start.

Win8 system task manager is very simple on the interface, only the "simplified information" and "details" two interfaces.

▲Win8 system task manager's simple interface

In the lite task manager, there is no complicated function tag, only the currently running program can be operated by the right mouse button Some basic functions such as ending tasks, opening file locations, and online search. For most users, if the program is stuck and the system is not responding, the end of the task can be achieved in the simplified version.

▲Win8 system task manager details

Through the task manager's detailed information interface, we can no longer see the English, and also follow The attributes of the service are classified. It is necessary to explain that in addition to the applications and services on the desktop, the Win8 Metro application is also included in the task manager, and is suspended when the application is idle, that is, when we run a Win8 application, even if not Close, if other applications are running at this time or when they are away, the application is automatically suspended, which saves system resources; when the suspended application is run again, it will be loaded again, and other applications will be loaded. Hang up and cycle accordingly.

In the past, we used the task manager to view the system resource occupancy status, which is a purely digital display, but in the Win8 system task manager, a color block display has also been added. This is a very humane change detail! To put it simply, a lighter color indicates less resource usage, and a darker color, a larger resource usage. That is to say, when there is an abnormality in a program and some overload occurs in the system, the task manager will alert the user through the red system (the color system increases with the degree of overload). When the overload is particularly serious, the reminder color will instantly turn into a large red color, enabling the user to quickly find the problem. In the process, we can also sort the load process by means of the title bar to find other hazards faster. The graphical representation of this detail interface can be seen at a glance, which can be said to be a major improvement in humanity.

Second, the file copy and paste

Relatively more commonly used features. Imagine how you copied and pasted in your previous system? When copying a larger file, is it necessary to pause in the middle? Do you know the progress of each when copying and pasting multiple files? This feature has been improved in the Explorer of the Win8 system!

▲Copy and paste files

From the above figure, we can see that when performing a copy and paste, and then performing another action, each copy They are all independent, so that we can see the progress of the paste at any time, and when the system resources are too large, we can pause the copy at any time according to the situation, or even delete one of the files being copied. Is this detail change more humane and greatly improving the efficiency of the work?

Third, the change of the resource manager address bar

The change of the resource manager is actually a big change. In the past, when we chose to move, copy, paste, create a new folder, etc. Need to use the right mouse button to operate. In the Win8 System Explorer, it uses a shortcut toolbar style similar to that in Office, and has a stowage or pop-up function. These commonly used functions are discharged with large icons and fonts, which is very easy to operate, especially for touch screen operation. much easier.

▲Win8 System Explorer Shortcut Bar Details

In the Win8 Explorer, the details change also includes an actionable address bar. Generally, we will use drag and drop to copy files to the upper level or upper level folder. But in Win7, you can only select the target folder through the tree directory on the left. If the current directory is deep, I am very embarrassed, either you press the left button while the first level is activated, or directly by copy and paste method, it is not so happy anyway. In Win8, the above operation can be directly simplified to drag and drop files to a node on the address bar. Note that the address bar will automatically follow the prompts to pop up different prompts (cut or copy). Don't think that this operation looks very simple, it really won't work in Win7, don't believe you try!

IV. Visual Operation

In Win8, many operations have been visually modified. For example, the color block display in the task manager we mentioned earlier, the curve display when copying and pasting the file, and if we are careful, we will also find that when copying the image, when the file name conflicts with the same name, There are some optional hints, and give a rough comparison of the two images, which was not available in the previous system.

▲ When the file with the same name conflicts

For the picture, another detail change is to delete. When deleting an image, the currently deleted image preview will be displayed intimately, and will not be deleted directly. Of course, the premise is to select "Show Recycling Confirmation" under the "Delete" icon in the shortcut toolbar. This feature is fine for a single image. When you delete multiple images at a time, you will not be able to display the preview of the image.

▲ Preview function when deleting pictures

There are still many changes in details, such as split screen display, picture password system login method, it should be said that Win8 These details of the system change, more humane, and fully consider the user's operating habits, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the system. Here we will not introduce one by one, if you want to make better use of the Win8 system, you may wish to dig into some details of the changes, maybe a feature will help you very much.
