Kai Tao	ed16ae7b2a	Zoomit: Fix a issue that after trim, the video can't be saved and we can't start a new recording session (#46034) ... <!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request The bug was caused by a resource lifetime issue between the recording phase and the save/trim phase. After a recording stopped, StartRecordingAsync moved directly into the save workflow while it was still holding the temporary recording stream and the active recording session objects, later file operations in the save flow could fail against that same file. Once that happened, ZoomIt could end up stuck in a bad state where the first save did not complete cleanly and subsequent recording attempts would no longer start until ZoomIt was restarted. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist As title - [ ] Closes: #46006 <!-- - [ ] Closes: #yyy (add separate lines for additional resolved issues) --> - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

Jiří Polášek	90131e35d9	CmdPal: Prevent unsynchornized access to More commands (#46020) ... ## Summary of the Pull Request This PR fixes a crash caused by unsynchronized access to a context menu: - Fixes `System.ArgumentException: Destination array was not long enough` crash in `CommandItemViewModel.AllCommands` caused by `List<T>.AddRange()` racing with background `BuildAndInitMoreCommands` mutations - Replaces mutable `List<T>` public surfaces with immutable array snapshots protected by a `Lock`; writers hold the lock, mutate the backing list, then atomically publish new snapshots via `volatile` fields that readers access lock-free - Applies the same snapshot pattern to `ContentPageViewModel`, using a bundled `CommandSnapshot` object for atomic publication (since `PrimaryCommand` drives command invocation there, not just UI hints) - Narrows `IContextMenuContext.MoreCommands` and `AllCommands` from `List<T>`/`IEnumerable<T>` to `IReadOnlyList<T>` to prevent consumers from casting back and mutating - Moves `SafeCleanup()` calls outside locks in cleanup paths to avoid holding the lock during cross-process RPC calls <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #45975 <!-- - [ ] Closes: #yyy (add separate lines for additional resolved issues) --> - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

Jiří Polášek	f0134e4448	CmdPal: Add adaptive parallel fallback processing and consistent updates (#42273) ... ## Summary of the Pull Request This PR replaces sequential fallback processing with an adaptive parallel dispatch model and isolates fallback work onto a dedicated thread pool, preventing misbehaving extensions from starving the .NET ThreadPool on blocked synchronous COM RPC call. The other major change is allowing MainListPage to allow take control over the debounce of search updates directly, reducing latency and improving smoothness of the search. - Adds `DedicatedThreadPool` — an elastic pool of background threads (min 2, max 32) that expand on demand when all threads are blocked in COM calls and shrink after 30s idle. - Extracts all fallback dispatch machinery (adaptive workers, per-command inflight tracking, pending-retry slots) from MainListPage into a standalone FallbackUpdateManager. - Prevents one fallback from monopolizing all threads by capping concurrent in-flight calls per fallback to 4. - Starts with low degree of parallelism (2) and gently scales up to half of CPU cores per batch. If a fallback takes more than 200ms, another worker is spawned so remaining commands aren't blocked. - Adds `ThrottledDebouncedAction` to coalesce rapid `RaiseItemsChanged` calls from fallback completions and user input (100ms for external events, 50ms adjusted for keystrokes), replacing unbatched direct calls. - Bypasses the UI-layer debounce timer for the main list page since it now handles its own throttling, eliminating double-debounce latency. - Introduces diagnostics for fallbacks and timing hidden behind feature flags. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #42286 - [x] Related to: #44407 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

The cursor wrap edge model has been updated to mirror Windows monitor-to-monitor cursor movement, this should ensure there aren't any non-wrappable edges. A new test tool has been added 'CursorLog' this is a monitor aware, dpi/scaling aware Win32 application that captures mouse movement across monitors to a log file, the log contains one line per mouse movement which includes: Monitor, x, y, scale, dpi. The wrapping simulator has been updated to include the new wrapping model and support mouse cursor log playback. ## Validation Steps Performed The updated CursorWrap has been tested on a single monitor (laptop) and multi-monitor desktop PC with monitors being offset to test edge/wrapping behavior. --------- Co-authored-by: Mike Hall <mikehall@microsoft.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: vanzue <vanzue@outlook.com>	2026-03-04 13:56:32 +00:00

Dave Rayment	9e4bf1e3e0	[Run] Replace WindowWalker's brute-force fuzzy matching algorithm with optimal DP solution (#44551) ... ## Summary of the Pull Request Window Walker's fuzzy string matching algorithm exhibits exponential memory usage and execution time when given inputs containing repeated characters or phrases. When a user has several windows open with long titles (such as browser windows), it is straightforward to trigger a pathological case which uses up gigabytes of memory and freezes the UI. This is exacerbated by Run's lack of thread pruning, meaning work triggered by older keystrokes consumes CPU and memory until completion. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #44546 - [x] Closes: #44184 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

After this, it selects the best match and discards the others. This may be considered reasonable for small search strings, but it causes a combinatorial explosion when there are multiple possible matches where characters or substrings repeat, even when the search string is small. The current brute-force algorithm has time complexity of **O(n * m * C(n,m))** where **C(n,m)** = **n!/(m!(n-m)!)** and space complexity of **O(C(n,m) * m)** because it stores all possible match combinations before choosing the best. For example, matching `"eeee"` in `"eeeeeeee"` creates **C(8,4)** = **70** match combinations, which stores 70 lists with 4 integers each, plus overhead from the LINQ-based list copying and appending: ```csharp var tempList = results .Where(x => x.Count == secondIndex && x[x.Count - 1] < firstIndex) .Select(x => x.ToList()) // Creates a full copy of each matching path .ToList(); // Materializes all copies results.AddRange(tempList); // Adds lists to results ``` Each potential sub-match may be recalculated many times. Window Walker queries across all window titles, so this problem will be magnified if the search text happens to match multiple titles and/or if a search string containing a single repeated character is used. For browser windows, where titles may be long, this is especially problematic, and similarly for Explorer windows with longer paths. ## Proposed solution The solution presented here is to use a dynamic programming algorithm which finds the optimal match directly without generating all possibilities. In terms of complexity, the new algorithm benefits from a single pass through its DP table and only has to store two integer arrays which are sized proportionally to the search and candidate text string lengths; so **O(n * m)** for both time and space, i.e. polynomial instead of exponential. Scoring is equivalent between the old and new algorithms, based strictly on the minimum match span within the candidate string. ## Implementation notes The new algorithm tracks the best start index for matches ending at each position, eliminating the need to store all possible paths. By storing the "latest best match so far" as you scan through the search text, you are guaranteed to minimise the span length. To recreate the best match, a separate table of parent indexes is kept and iterated backwards once the DP step is complete. Reversing this provides you with the same result (or equivalent if there are multiple best matches) as the original algorithm. For this "minimum-span" fuzzy matching method, this should be optimal as it only scans once and storage is proportional to the search and candidate strings only. ## Benchmarks A verification and benchmarking suite is here: https://github.com/daverayment/WindowWalkerBench Results from comparing the old and new algorithms are here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eXmmnN2eI3774QxXXyx1Dv4SKu78U96q28GYnpHT0_8/edit?usp=sharing | Method | Mean | Error | StdDev | Ratio | RatioSD | Gen0 | Gen1 | Gen2 | Allocated | Alloc Ratio | |---------------- |-----------------:|-----------------:|-----------------:|-----------:|----------:|-----------:|-----------:|----------:|-------------:|------------:| | Old_Normal | 4,034.4 ns | 220.94 ns | 647.98 ns | 1.02 | 0.23 | 1.9760 | - | - | 8.09 KB | 1.00 | | New_Normal | 804.5 ns | 24.29 ns | 70.47 ns | 0.20 | 0.04 | 0.4339 | - | - | 1.77 KB | 0.22 | | Old_Repetitive | 7,624.7 ns | 318.06 ns | 912.57 ns | 1.94 | 0.38 | 3.7079 | - | - | 15.16 KB | 1.87 | | New_Repetitive | 2,714.6 ns | 109.03 ns | 318.03 ns | 0.69 | 0.13 | 1.6403 | - | - | 6.72 KB | 0.83 | | Old_Explosion | 881,443,209.3 ns | 26,273,980.96 ns | 76,225,588.43 ns | 223,872.87 | 39,357.31 | 50000.0000 | 27000.0000 | 5000.0000 | 351885.11 KB | 43,518.16 | | New_Explosion | 3,225.4 ns | 111.98 ns | 315.84 ns | 0.82 | 0.15 | 1.7738 | - | - | 7.26 KB | 0.90 | | Old_Explosion_8 | 460,153,862.6 ns | 18,744,417.95 ns | 54,974,137.06 ns | 116,871.93 | 22,719.87 | 25000.0000 | 14000.0000 | 3000.0000 | 173117.13 KB | 21,409.65 | | New_Explosion_8 | 2,958.3 ns | 78.16 ns | 230.45 ns | 0.75 | 0.13 | 1.5793 | - | - | 6.46 KB | 0.80 | | Old_Explosion_7 | 189,069,384.8 ns | 3,774,916.46 ns | 6,202,296.49 ns | 48,020.68 | 7,501.98 | 11000.0000 | 6333.3333 | 2000.0000 | 71603.96 KB | 8,855.37 | | New_Explosion_7 | 2,667.5 ns | 117.69 ns | 337.68 ns | 0.68 | 0.13 | 1.3924 | - | - | 5.7 KB | 0.70 | | Old_Explosion_6 | 71,960,114.8 ns | 1,757,017.15 ns | 5,125,301.87 ns | 18,276.75 | 3,083.86 | 4500.0000 | 2666.6667 | 1333.3333 | 25515.96 KB | 3,155.60 | | New_Explosion_6 | 2,232.5 ns | 72.65 ns | 202.52 ns | 0.57 | 0.10 | 1.1978 | - | - | 4.91 KB | 0.61 | | Old_Explosion_5 | 9,121,126.4 ns | 180,744.42 ns | 228,583.84 ns | 2,316.62 | 358.55 | 1000.0000 | 968.7500 | 484.3750 | 7630.49 KB | 943.67 | | New_Explosion_5 | 1,917.3 ns | 48.63 ns | 133.95 ns | 0.49 | 0.08 | 1.0109 | - | - | 4.13 KB | 0.51 | | Old_Explosion_4 | 2,489,593.2 ns | 82,937.33 ns | 236,624.90 ns | 632.32 | 113.96 | 281.2500 | 148.4375 | 74.2188 | 1729.71 KB | 213.92 | | New_Explosion_4 | 1,598.3 ns | 51.92 ns | 152.28 ns | 0.41 | 0.07 | 0.8163 | - | - | 3.34 KB | 0.41 | | Old_Explosion_3 | 202,814.0 ns | 7,684.44 ns | 22,293.96 ns | 51.51 | 9.72 | 72.7539 | 0.2441 | - | 298.13 KB | 36.87 | | New_Explosion_3 | 1,222.5 ns | 26.07 ns | 76.45 ns | 0.31 | 0.05 | 0.6275 | - | - | 2.57 KB | 0.32 | | Old_Subsequence | 419,417.7 ns | 8,308.97 ns | 22,178.33 ns | 106.53 | 17.23 | 266.6016 | 0.9766 | - | 1090.05 KB | 134.81 | | New_Subsequence | 2,501.9 ns | 80.91 ns | 233.43 ns | 0.64 | 0.11 | 1.3542 | - | - | 5.55 KB | 0.69 | (Where "Old_Explosion" is "e" repeated 9 times.

Even for a three-character repetition, the new algorithm is >150x faster with <1% of the allocations. ## Real world example **Before (results still pending after more than a minute):** <img width="837" height="336" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c4c3ae04-6a47-40b9-a2a4-7a4da169f7d5" /> **After (instantaneous results):** <img width="829" height="444" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/055fc4a6-f34f-4bed-a12c-408b52274de2" /> ## Validation Steps Performed The verification tests in the benchmark project pass, with results identical to the original across a number of test cases, including the pathological cases identified earlier and edge cases such as single-character searches. All unit tests under `Wox.Test`, including all 38 `FuzzyMatcherTest` entries still pass.	2026-03-02 13:45:14 +01:00

What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## 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. <img width="812" height="499" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/de6c4723-0b52-4606-98fa-469364f5648e" />	2026-02-27 14:35:49 -06:00
