## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request improves the way items are grouped and processed by
depth in the `s_fileOpWorkerThread` function of
`PowerRenameManager.cpp`. Instead of sizing the depth matrix by the
total item count, it now determines the actual maximum depth of items
first, resulting in more efficient memory usage and correctness when
handling items by their depth.
**Improvements to depth-based processing:**
* Added a first pass to determine the maximum depth among all items
before allocating the depth matrix, ensuring the matrix is sized
appropriately and not excessively large.
* Updated the logic to iterate from the maximum depth down to zero when
adding items, aligning with the new matrix sizing and ensuring correct
processing order.
- Support EXIF extraction from HEIF/HEIC and AVIF images by detecting
container format and using correct WIC metadata paths.
- Extend supported file extensions to include .heic, .heif, and .avif.
- Add unit tests and test data for HEIF/AVIF extraction, with graceful
handling if required Windows Store extensions are missing.
- Update PowerRename settings UI to show HEIF/AVIF extension status and
provide install buttons.
- Extend ViewModel to detect/install required extensions and expose
status for binding.

## Validation Steps Performed
## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes PowerRename failing to normalise different Unicode forms before
matching. This results in filenames containing visually identical
characters to the search term from failing to match because their
underlying binary representations differ.
This affects renaming files created on macOS which names files in NFD
(decomposed form) rather than Windows' NFC (precomposed form).
Additionally, this fixes matching to filenames containing non-breaking
space characters, which can be created by automated systems and web
downloaders. Previously, the NBSP character would fail to match a normal
space.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The underlying issue is a binary mismatch between:
1. Precomposed characters (NFC) typed by Windows users, e.g. `U+0439` -
`й`.
2. Decomposed characters (NFD) found in filenames from other platforms
(or copied from text), e.g. `U+0438` `U+0306` - `и` + `̆ `.
3. Standard spaces (`U+0020`) versus non-breaking spaces (`U+00A0`).
### Updates to PowerRenameRegex.cpp
I added a `SanitizeAndNormalize` function which replaces all
non-breaking spaces with standard spaces and normalises the string to
**Normalization Form C** using Win32's `NormalizeString`.
`PutSearchTerm` and `PutReplaceTerm` now normalise input immediately
before performing any other processing.
`Replace` now normalises the `source` filename before processing.
I updated the RegEx path to ensure it runs against the normalised
`sourceToUse` string instead of the raw `source` string; otherwise regex
matches would fail.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Manually tested the use case detailed in #43971 with the following
filenames:
- `Testй NFC.txt`
- `Testй NFD.txt`
Result:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/55dd4f01-8ec9-462c-a20f-dd246c368cf5"
/>
There are two new unit tests which exercise both the non-breaking space
and Unicode form normalisation issues. These run on both the Boost- and
non-Boost test paths, adding four tests to the total. All new tests fail
as expected on the prior code and all PowerRename tests pass
successfully with the changes in this PR:

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request modernizes NuGet package management for the
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions` native project by migrating from
the older `packages.config` approach to the newer `PackageReference`
style. It also updates the related project references and output
handling in the toolkit project. These changes simplify dependency
management and align with current best practices for native C++/WinRT
projects.
**NuGet package management modernization:**
* Migrated `Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.vcxproj` from
`packages.config` to `PackageReference` style, specifying dependencies
directly in the project file and removing the `packages.config` file.

* Removed legacy NuGet property groups, imports, and error-checking
targets related to manual package restore, as these are now handled
automatically by `PackageReference`.

**Project reference and build output updates:**
* Updated the project reference in
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.Toolkit.csproj` to not reference
the output assembly directly, and added explicit inclusion and copying
of the native implementation DLL and WinMD files to the output
directory.
**Cleanup of unused files:**
* Removed `packages.config` from both the
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions` and `PowerRenameUILib` projects,
as dependencies are now managed via `PackageReference`.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
With the addition of image metadata replacement options, a strict
negative lookahead was added to the date replacement regular expressions
to prevent conflicts. This was required because, for example, `$D` would
otherwise match before `$DATE_TAKEN_YYYY`. Metadata and date-related
replacements are executed separately at the moment, so this awareness of
each other is required.
However, the negative lookahead was far too aggressive:
- It used `(?![A-Z])`, meaning any capital letter after the date token
would reject the match entirely. This caused the problem referred to in
the linked issue, where `$DDT` was rejected instead of matching to the
`$DD` replacement followed by a verbatim `T` character.
- It was applied to the majority of fields, whereas it is only actually
needed where date tokens are prefixes of metadata tokens. Only `$D` and
`$H` are affected.
- There was no need to apply negative lookups to catch 'self-matches'
like preventing `$D`, `$DD`, and `$DDD` from matching when `$DDDD` was
in the replacement string. Instead, the order of processing already
matches the longest token first, so this could never happen.
To fix these issues, I:
- Removed the majority of the negative lookaheads.
- Made the remaining negative lookaheads only match actual conflicting
suffixes, e.g. `$D(?!(ATE_TAKEN_|ESCRIPTION|OCUMENT_ID))` instead of
`$D(?![A-Z])`. This makes mistaken rejections of user-supplied
replacement strings much more unlikely.
Please note: there remain inherent issues with the current token
replacement approach. Tackling these will require a more extensive
refactoring PR which separates replacement string tokenization from
matching and replacement, and which tackles both image metadata and file
date metadata in a unified manner.
## Validation Steps Performed
- Corrected unit tests which classified, for example, `$YYY` as invalid,
instead of identifying it as a valid `$YY` token + verbatim capital Y
replacement.
- Wrote new unit tests to exercise the refined negative lookaheads.
- Wrote tests to confirm certain negative lookaheads were not required
because the order of processing guaranteed the longest match happens
before any prefix matches.
- Wrote a unit test to exercise the specific issue raised in #44202.
- Confirmed that all new and pre-existing PowerRename tests pass.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request updates several dependencies to newer versions in the
`Directory.Packages.props` file. The main focus is on upgrading the
Microsoft Windows App SDK packages to ensure the project uses the latest
features and bug fixes.
Dependency version updates:
* Upgraded `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK`,
`Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation`, `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.AI`, and
`Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Runtime` to their latest respective versions,
replacing previous 1.8.25* releases with newer builds.
<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request updates the build system for several native and
managed projects, modernizing NuGet package management and improving
code analysis configuration. The main changes involve switching from
legacy `packages.config` and manual `.props`/`.targets` imports to
PackageReference style for native projects, updating package versions,
and streamlining code analysis settings.
**Build system modernization and package management:**
* Migrated native projects (`PowerToys.MeasureToolCore.vcxproj`,
`FindMyMouse.vcxproj`) from legacy `packages.config` and manual
`.props`/`.targets` imports to NuGet PackageReference style, simplifying
dependency management and build configuration. This includes removing
the `packages.config` file and related import/error logic, and
introducing `PackageReference` items for required packages.

**Code analysis improvements:**
* Added configuration to both native and managed projects
(`PowerToys.MeasureToolCore.vcxproj`, `MeasureToolUI.csproj`) to
suppress specific warnings (81010002) and exclude NuGet cache files from
code analysis, reducing noise and improving build performance.

**Project reference and output handling:**
* Updated the managed project (`MeasureToolUI.csproj`) to handle native
project outputs more robustly, ensuring the WinMD and DLL files are
available at runtime and configuring the project reference to avoid
assembly reference issues.
**Compiler configuration:**
* Enhanced C++ compiler settings in `Cpp.Build.props` to treat
angle-bracket includes as external, disable warnings and analysis for
external headers, and optimize build performance.

## Validation Steps Performed
This PR fixes an issue which has been reported a number of times under
slightly different guises. The bug manifests as a counter "stall" or
"skip" under certain circumstances, not advancing the counter if the
result of the rename operation happens to match the original filename.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This issue occurs if all the following are true:
- Enumeration features are enabled
- Regular expression matching is enabled
- The replacement string includes a counter, for example `${}` or
`${start=1}` or `${start=10,increment=10}` etc.
- There are one or more original filenames which coincide with the
result of the renaming operations
Previously, the counter was not updated when the renaming operation
result was the same as the original filename. For example, here the
first rename result matches the original filename and the counter
remains at `1` for the second file, whereas it should be `2`:

/>
This fix increments the counter irrespective of these coincidences.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
**Before discussing the detail of the fix, I'd like to acknowledge the
incredible coincidence that it resolves two issues (31950 and 41950)
_which are exactly 10,000 issues (and 18 months) apart_.**
Now, back to the issue at hand, if you'll forgive the pun...
The original flawed code is here:
```cpp
bool replacedSomething = false;
if (m_flags & UseRegularExpressions)
{
replaceTerm = regex_replace(replaceTerm, zeroGroupRegex, L"$1$$$0");
replaceTerm = regex_replace(replaceTerm, otherGroupsRegex, L"$1$0$4");
res = RegexReplaceDispatch[_useBoostLib](source, m_searchTerm, replaceTerm, m_flags & MatchAllOccurrences, !(m_flags & CaseSensitive));
replacedSomething = originalSource != res;
}
```
Here `replacedSomething` controls whether the counter variable is
incremented later in the code. The problem lies in the assumption that
only a replacement result which differs from the original string implies
a match. This is incorrect, as a successful match and replace operation
can still produce a result which coincides with `originalSource` (the
source filename), i.e. `originalSource == res`.
The solution is to separate the regex matching from the replacement
operation, and to advance the counter when the match is successful
irrespective of whether the result is the same as the filename. This is
what the fix does:
```cpp
bool shouldIncrementCounter = false;
if (m_flags & UseRegularExpressions)
{
replaceTerm = regex_replace(replaceTerm, zeroGroupRegex, L"$1$$$0");
replaceTerm = regex_replace(replaceTerm, otherGroupsRegex, L"$1$0$4");
res = RegexReplaceDispatch[_useBoostLib](source, m_searchTerm, replaceTerm, m_flags & MatchAllOccurrences, !(m_flags & CaseSensitive));
// Use regex search to determine if a match exists. This is the basis for incrementing
// the counter.
if (_useBoostLib)
{
boost::wregex pattern(m_searchTerm, boost::wregex::ECMAScript | (!(m_flags & CaseSensitive) ? boost::wregex::icase : boost::wregex::normal));
shouldIncrementCounter = boost::regex_search(sourceToUse, pattern);
}
else
{
auto regexFlags = std::wregex::ECMAScript;
if (!(m_flags & CaseSensitive))
{
regexFlags |= std::wregex::icase;
}
std::wregex pattern(m_searchTerm, regexFlags);
shouldIncrementCounter = std::regex_search(sourceToUse, pattern);
}
}
```
The `regex_search()` call on both the boost and std paths tests whether
the regex pattern can be found in the original filename (`sourceToUse`).
`shouldIncrementCounter` tracks whether the counter will be incremented
later, renamed from `replacedSomething` to reflect the change in
behaviour.
## Validation Steps Performed
The fix includes an additional unit test for both the std and boost
regex paths. Without the fix, the test fails:
<img width="1509" height="506" alt="Screenshot 2025-09-25 063611"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/14dbf817-b1d3-456d-80f2-abcd28266b8d"
/>
and with the fix, all tests pass:

Build and packaging improvements:
* Enhanced the MSIX package selection logic in the build pipeline
(`job-build-project.yml`) to prioritize platform-specific packages
(x64/arm64) and provide clearer logging and error handling when no
packages are found.
* Modified `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.csproj` to disable Appx bundling and set
a specific test directory for Appx packages during CI builds, improving
build output organization.
These updates help ensure the project stays current with the latest SDKs
and improves reliability and transparency in the build process.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes an issue where context menu runtime registration wasn't
properly cleaned up when GPO (Group Policy Object) policies disabled the
module. The problem occurred because the module constructor didn't
consider GPO policies when determining its initial enabled state.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests

## Validation Steps Performed
This pull request refactors how context menu registration and
unregistration are handled across several PowerToys modules. The main
improvement is the introduction of a new `UpdateRegistration` helper
method in each module, which centralizes and simplifies the logic for
registering or unregistering context menus when the module is enabled or
disabled. This reduces code duplication and ensures consistent behavior.
**Context menu registration logic refactor:**
* Added a private `UpdateRegistration` method to each of the following
modules to handle context menu registration and unregistration based on
the enabled state:
- `FileLocksmithModule` in `PowerToysModule.cpp`
- `NewModule` in `powertoys_module.cpp`
- `ImageResizerModule` in `dllmain.cpp`
- `PowerRenameModule` in `dllmain.cpp`
* Replaced direct calls to registration/unregistration functions in
`enable`, `disable`, and `init_settings` methods with calls to the new
`UpdateRegistration` method in all affected modules, ensuring consistent
and centralized handling

## Summary of the Pull Request
In the Windows Explorer context menu, using "w" as the accelerator key
in Po"w"erRename conflicts with the Ne"w" command. This slows down
people who have to do things like create new folders frequently
(especially because muscle memory leads to PowerRename launching and
then having to be closed before going and creating the new folder with a
bunch of mouse clicks).
Changing the accelerator key to "e" - Pow"e"rRename - only conflicts
with "Refresh", which is less commonly used.

## Summary of the Pull Request
## Root Cause
WiX-based registration creates persistent Shell Extension entries that:
1. Load DLLs even when the module is disabled
2. Cause cross-OS version conflicts (Win11 loading Win10 extensions)
## Changes Made
1. Removed static Shell Extension registration from PowerToys installer
2. Modified modules to register Shell Extensions during Runner startup
### Modified Modules:
- **PowerRename** (`src/modules/powerrename/dll/dllmain.cpp`)
- **NewPlus**
(`src/modules/NewPlus/NewShellExtensionContextMenu/powertoys_module.cpp`)
- **ImageResizer** (`src/modules/imageresizer/dll/dllmain.cpp`)
- **FileLocksmith**
(`src/modules/FileLocksmith/FileLocksmithExt/PowerToysModule.cpp`)
## Known Migration Issue
**Machine-level installer registry residue**: win10 with machine-level
installers may have residual Shell Extension registry entries that
persist with this change.

## AI Summary
This pull request refactors how shell extension registry keys are
managed during installation and uninstallation for several PowerToys
modules. The main change is moving registry key cleanup logic for
context menu shell extensions (ImageResizer, FileLocksmith, PowerRename,
NewPlus) from static installer definitions to new custom uninstall
actions, ensuring more reliable removal and future extensibility.
**Installer and Uninstall Refactoring**
* Added new custom actions (`CleanImageResizerRuntimeRegistryCA`,
`CleanFileLocksmithRuntimeRegistryCA`,
`CleanPowerRenameRuntimeRegistryCA`, `CleanNewPlusRuntimeRegistryCA`) to
programmatically clean up registry keys for each shell extension during
uninstall, implemented in `CustomAction.cpp` and exported in
`CustomAction.def`.

* Registered these custom actions in `Product.wxs` and ensured they run
before file removal during uninstall.

**Removal of Static Registry Key Definitions**
* Removed static registry key and component definitions for context menu
shell extensions from their respective installer `.wxs` files
(`FileLocksmith.wxs`, `ImageResizer.wxs`, `PowerRename.wxs`,
`NewPlus.wxs`), relying on custom actions for cleanup instead.

**Project File Update**
* Added `shell_ext_registration.h` to the solution file, possibly for
future shell extension registration logic.
These changes improve uninstall reliability and centralize registry
cleanup logic, making future maintenance and extension of shell
extension registration much simpler.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR updates all application manifest files across the PowerToys
codebase to use **PerMonitorV2** DPI awareness, ensuring optimal
high-DPI display support on modern Windows systems.
## Changes Made
Updated **12 manifest files** to include proper PerMonitorV2 DPI
awareness:
### Files with New DPI Support Added:
- `src/runner/PowerToys.exe.manifest` - Added complete DPI awareness
section
- `src/modules/awake/Awake/app.manifest` - Upgraded from basic
`dpiAware` to PerMonitorV2
### Files Upgraded from PerMonitor to PerMonitorV2:
- `src/modules/colorPicker/ColorPickerUI/App.manifest`
- `src/modules/MouseWithoutBorders/App/MouseWithoutBorders.exe.manifest`
### Files Enhanced for Consistency:
- `src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.exe.manifest`
- `src/modules/ZoomIt/ZoomIt/Zoomit.exe.manifest`
- All 5 cmdpal extension manifests
## Technical Implementation
All manifests now use the standardized format that provides:
1. **PerMonitorV2** as the primary DPI awareness mode for Windows 10
Anniversary Update and later
3. **`true/PM`** for backward compatibility with pre-Windows 10 systems
```xml
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings>
<dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">true/PM</dpiAware>
<dpiAwareness xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor</dpiAwareness>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
```

## Summary of the Pull Request
This change replaces the manual .lib reference with a proper project
reference to PowerRenameLib in the PowerRename.FuzzingTest project.
Previously, the project used a hardcoded path to link against
PowerRenameLib.lib, which caused build errors in Debug mode when the
.lib file had not yet been generated or the output path was incorrect.

## Validation Steps Performed
Windows Command Palette ("CmdPal") is the next iteration of PowerToys Run. With extensibility at its core, the Command Palette is your one-stop launcher to start _anything_.
By default, CmdPal is bound to <kbd>Win+Alt+Space</kbd>.
----
This brings the current preview version of CmdPal into the upstream PowerToys repo. There are still lots of bugs to work out, but it's reached the state we're ready to start sharing it with the world. From here, we can further collaborate with the community on the features that are important, and ensuring that we've got a most robust API to enable developers to build whatever extensions they want.
Most of the built-in PT Run modules have already been ported to CmdPal's extension API. Those include:
* Installed apps
* Shell commands
* File search (powered by the indexer)
* Windows Registry search
* Web search
* Windows Terminal Profiles
* Windows Services
* Windows settings
There are a couple new extensions built-in
* You can now search for packages on `winget` and install them right from the palette. This also powers searching for extensions for the palette
* The calculator has an entirely new implementation. This is currently less feature complete than the original PT Run one - we're looking forward to updating it to be more complete for future ingestion in Windows
* "Bookmarks" allow you to save shortcuts to files, folders, and webpages as top-level commands in the palette.
We've got a bunch of other samples too, in this repo and elsewhere
### PowerToys specific notes
CmdPal will eventually graduate out of PowerToys to live as its own application, which is why it's implemented just a little differently than most other modules. Enabling CmdPal will install its `msix` package.
The CI was minorly changed to support CmdPal version numbers independent of PowerToys itself. It doesn't make sense for us to start CmdPal at v0.90, and in the future, we want to be able to rev CmdPal independently of PT itself.
Closes#3200, closes#3600, closes#7770, closes#34273, closes#36471, closes#20976, closes#14495

TODOs et al
**Blocking:**
- [ ] Images and descriptions in Settings and OOBE need to be properly defined, as mentioned before
- [ ] Niels is on it
- [x] Doesn't start properly from PowerToys unless the fix PR is merged.
- https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/556 merged
- [x] I seem to lose focus a lot when I press on some limits, like between the search bar and the results.
- This is https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/427
- [x] Turned off an extension like Calculator and it was still working.
- Need to get rid of that toggle, it doesn't do anything currently
- [x] `ListViewModel.<FetchItems>` crash
- Pretty confident that was fixed in https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/553
**Not blocking / improvements:**
- Show the shortcut through settings, as mentioned before, or create a button that would open CmdPalette settings.
- When PowerToys starts, CmdPalette is always shown if enabled. That's weird when just starting PowerToys/ logging in to the computer with PowerToys auto-start activated. I think this should at least be a setting.
- Needing to double press a result for it to do the default action seems quirky. If one is already selected, I think just pressing should be enough for it to do the action.
- This is currently a setting, though we're thinking of changing the setting even more: https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/392
- There's no URI extension. Was surprised when typing a URL that it only proposed a web search.
- [x] There's no System commands extension. Was expecting to be able to quickly restart the computer by typing restart but it wasn't there.
- This is in PR https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/452

* [PowerRename]Add `$`, `^` and `.*` to RegEx cheatsheet
* Add * and +, remove combinations
* correct spelling
* Add ? and \s
* fix spelling once again
This upgrades to [v0.0.24](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/releases/tag/v0.0.24).
A number of GitHub APIs are being turned off shortly, so you need to upgrade or various uncertain outcomes will occur.
There's a new accessibility forbidden pattern:
> Do not use `(click) here` links
> For more information, see:

```pl

```
There are some minor bugs that I'm aware of and which I've fixed since this release, but I don't expect to make another release this month.
I've added a pair of patterns for includes and pragmas. My argument is that the **compiler** will _generally_ tell you if you've misspelled an include and the **linker** will _generally_ tell you if you misspell a lib.
- There's a caveat here: If your include case-insensitively matches the referenced file (but doesn't properly match it), then unless you either use a case-sensitive file system (as opposed to case-preserving) or beg clang to warn, you won't notice when you make this specific mistake -- this matters in that a couple of Windows headers (e.g. Unknwn.h) have particular case and repositories don't tend to consistently/properly write them.
