-# PowerToys – Copilot guide (concise)
-
-This is the top-level guide for AI changes. Keep edits small, follow existing patterns, and cite exact paths in PRs.
-
-Repo map (1‑line per area)
-- Core apps: `src/runner/**` (tray/loader), `src/settings-ui/**` (Settings app)
-- Shared libs: `src/common/**`
-- Modules: `src/modules/*` (one per utility; Command Palette in `src/modules/cmdpal/**`)
-- Build tools/docs: `tools/**`, `doc/devdocs/**`
-
-Build and test (defaults)
-- Prerequisites: Visual Studio 2022 17.4+, minimal Windows 10 1803+.
-- Build discipline:
-  - One terminal per operation (build → test). Don’t switch/open new ones mid-flow.
-  - After making changes, `cd` to the project folder that changed (`.csproj`/`.vcxproj`).
-  - Use script(s) to build, synchronously block and wait in foreground for it to finish: `tools/build/build.ps1|.cmd` (current folder), `build-essentials.*` (once per brand new build for missing nuget packages)
-  - Treat build **exit code 0** as success; any non-zero exit code is a failure, have Copilot read the errors log in the build folder (e.g., `build.*.*.errors.log`) and surface problems.
-  - Don’t start tests or launch Runner until the previous step succeeded.
-- Tests (fast + targeted):
-  - Find the test project by product code prefix (e.g., FancyZones, AdvancedPaste). Look for a sibling folder or 1–2 levels up named like `<Product>*UnitTests` or `<Product>*UITests`.
-  - Build the test project, wait for **exit**, then run only those tests via VS Test Explorer or `vstest.console.exe` with filters. Avoid `dotnet test` in this repo.
-  - Add/adjust tests when changing behavior; if skipped, state why (e.g., comment-only, string rename).
-
-Pull requests (expectations)
-- Atomic: one logical change; no drive‑by refactors.
-- Describe: problem / approach / risk / test evidence.
-- List: touched paths if not obvious.
-
-When to ask for clarification
-- Ambiguous spec after scanning relevant docs (see below).
-- Cross-module impact (shared enum/struct) not clear.
-- Security / elevation / installer changes.
-
-Logging (use existing stacks)
-- C++: `src/common/logger/**` (`Logger::info|warn|error|debug`). Keep hot paths quiet (hooks, tight loops).
-- C#: `ManagedCommon.Logger` (`LogInfo|LogWarning|LogError|LogDebug|LogTrace`). Some UIs use injected `ILogger` via `LoggerInstance.Logger`.
-
-Docs to consult
-- `tools/build/BUILD-GUIDELINES.md`
-- `doc/devdocs/core/architecture.md`, `doc/devdocs/core/runner.md`, `doc/devdocs/core/settings/readme.md`, `doc/devdocs/modules/readme.md`
-
-Done checklist (self review before finishing)
-- Build clean? Tests updated/passed? No unintended formatting? Any new dependency? Documented skips?

 Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.
 
-### 0.94 - Sep 2025 Update
+### 0.92 - June 2025 Update
 
 In this release, we focused on new features, stability, optimization improvements, and automation.
 
-For an in-depth look at the latest changes, visit the [release blog](https://aka.ms/powertoys-releaseblog).
-
 **✨Highlights**
 
- - PowerToys Settings added a Settings search with fuzzy matching, suggestions, a results page, and UX polish to make finding options faster.
- - A comprehensive hotkey conflict detection system was introduced in Settings to surface and help resolve conflicting shortcuts. Note that the default hotkey settings (Win+Ctrl+Shift+T, Win+Ctrl+V, Win+Ctrl+T, Win+Shift+T) may overlap with existing Windows system shortcuts. This is expected. You can resolve the conflict by assigning different hotkeys.
- - Mouse Utilities added a “Gliding cursor” accessibility feature to Mouse Pointer Crosshairs for single‑button cursor movement and clicking. Thanks [@mikehall-ms](https://github.com/mikehall-ms)!
- - The installer was upgraded to WiX 5 after WiX 3 reached end-of-life; this move improved installer security, reliability, and community support.
- - Tons of bug fixes and improvements for Command Palette, including visual updates and new support for filters on ListPages (handy for extension developers).
- - Hosts Editor now has a “No leading spaces” option so active host entries can start at column 0 even if others are disabled. Thanks [@mohammed-saalim](https://github.com/mohammed-saalim)!
- - Context menu registration was moved from the installer to runtime to avoid loading disabled modules (runtime registrations).
- - Quick Accent now supports Maltese, and frequently used accents appear first (and are remembered across sessions). Thanks [@rovercoder](https://github.com/rovercoder)! [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!
+ - PowerToys settings now has a toggle for the system tray icon, giving users control over its visibility based on personal preference. Thanks [@BLM16](https://github.com/BLM16)!  
+ - Command Palette now has Ahead-of-Time ([AOT](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/native-aot)) compatibility for all first-party extensions, improved extensibility, and core UX fixes, resulting in better performance and stability across commands.
+ - Color Picker now has customizable mouse button actions, enabling more personalized workflows by assigning functions to left, right, and middle clicks. Thanks [@PesBandi](https://github.com/PesBandi)!
+ - Bug Report Tool now has a faster and clearer reporting process, with progress indicators, improved compression, auto-cleanup of old trace logs, and inclusion of MSIX installer logs for more efficient diagnostics.
+ - File Explorer add-ons now have improved rendering stability, resolving issues with PDF previews, blank thumbnails, and text file crashes during file browsing.
 
-### Always On Top
+### Color Picker
 
- - Fixed the border hover cursor so it shows the arrow instead of the wait cursor. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!
+ - Added mouse button actions so you can choose what left, right, or middle click does. Thanks [@PesBandi](https://github.com/PesBandi)!  
+
+### Crop & Lock
+
+ - Aligned window styling with current Windows theme for a cleaner look. Thanks [@sadirano](https://github.com/sadirano)!  
 
 ### Command Palette
 
- - Applied single-click activation only to pointer input; keyboard always activates immediately. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)!
- - Let context menus open at the cursor by removing window-bound constraints. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)!
- - Made error messages clearer with timestamps, HRESULTs, and full details for easier diagnosis. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)!
- - Prevented crashes and improved robustness when updating providers without commands. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)!
- - Ensured the Settings window reliably comes to the front when opened. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)!
- - Replaced the Clipboard History icon with a colorful Fluent icon. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)!
- - Hardened ContentIcon to avoid duplicate parenting and improve diagnostics. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)!
- - Standardized null checks using C# pattern matching for safer behavior.
- - Improved accessibility by focusing the activation shortcut dialog and making text reachable. Thanks [@chatasweetie](https://github.com/chatasweetie)!

-# Shortcut Conflict Detection
-
-Steps to enable conflict detection for a hotkey:
-
-### 1. Implement module interface for hotkeys
-Ensure the module interface provides either `size_t get_hotkeys(Hotkey* hotkeys, size_t buffer_size)` or `std::optional<HotkeyEx> GetHotkeyEx()`.
-
-- If not yet implemented, you need to add it so that it returns all hotkeys used by the module.
-- **Important**: The order of the returned hotkeys matters. This order is used as an index to uniquely identify each hotkey for conflict detection and lookup.
-- For reference, see: `src/modules/AdvancedPaste/AdvancedPasteModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`
-
-### 2. Implement IHotkeyConfig in the module settings (UI side)
-Make sure the module’s settings file inherits from `IHotkeyConfig` and implements `HotkeyAccessor[] GetAllHotkeyAccessors()`.
-
-- This method should return all hotkeys used in the module.
-- **Important**: The order of the returned hotkeys must be consistent with step 1 (`get_hotkeys()` or `GetHotkeyEx()`).
-- For reference, see: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI.Library/AdvancedPasteSettings.cs`
-- **_Note:_** `HotkeyAccessor` is a wrapper around HotkeySettings. 
-It provides both `getter` and `setter` methods to read and update the corresponding hotkey.
-Additionally, each `HotkeyAccessor` requires a resource string that describes the purpose of the hotkey.
-This string is typically defined in: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`
-
-### 3. Update the module’s ViewModel
-The corresponding ViewModel should inherit from `PageViewModelBase` and implement `Dictionary<string, HotkeySettings[]> GetAllHotkeySettings()`.
-
-- This method should return all hotkeys, maintaining the same order as in steps 1 and 2.
-- For reference, see: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/ViewModels/AdvancedPasteViewModel.cs`
-
-### 4. Ensure the module’s Views call `OnPageLoaded()`
-Once the module’s view is loaded, make sure to invoke the ViewModel’s `OnPageLoaded()` method:
-```cs
-Loaded += (s, e) => ViewModel.OnPageLoaded();
-```

-## Developing PowerToys with Visual Studio Code
-
-This guide shows how to build, debug, and contribute to PowerToys using VS Code instead of (or alongside) full Visual Studio. It focuses on common inner‑loop tasks for C++, .NET, and mixed scenarios present in the solution.
-
-> PowerToys is a large mixed C++ / C# / WinAppSDK solution. VS Code works well for incremental development and quick module iterations, but occasionally you may still prefer full Visual Studio for designer tooling or specialized diagnostics.
-
----
-VS Code extensions Needed:
-
-| Area | Extension | Notes |
-|------|-----------|-------|
-| C++ | ms-vscode.cpptools | IntelliSense, debugging (cppvsdbg) |
-| C# | ms-dotnettools.csdevkit (or C#) | Language service / test explorer |
-
----
-
-## Building in VS Code
-### Configure developer powershell for vs2022 for more convenient dev in vscode.
-1. Configure profile in in settings, entry:  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows"
-2. Add below config as entry:
-```json
-    "Developer PowerShell for VS 2022": {
-		// Configure based on your preference
-        "path": "C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\Microsoft.PowerShell_7.5.2.0_arm64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\\pwsh.exe",
-        "args": [
-            "-NoExit",
-            "-Command",
-            "& {",
-            "$orig = Get-Location;",
-            // Configure based on your environment
-            "& 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Enterprise\\Common7\\Tools\\Launch-VsDevShell.ps1';",
-            "Set-Location $orig",
-            "}"
-        ]
-    },
-```
-3. [Optional] Set Developer PowerShell for VS 2022 as your default profile, so that you can get a deep integration with vscode coding agent. 
-
-4. Now You can build with plain `msbuild` or configure tasks.json in below section
-Or reach out to "tools\build\BUILD-GUIDELINES.md"
-
-### Sample plain msbuild command
-```powershell
-# Restore:
-msbuild powertoys.sln -t:restore -p:configuration=debug -p:platform=x64 -m
-
-# Build powertoys sln
-msbuild powertoys.sln -p:configuration=debug -p:platform=x64 -m
-
-# dotnet project
-msbuild src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\PowerToys.Settings.csproj -p:Platform=x64 -p:Configuration=Debug -m
-
-# native project
-msbuild "src\modules\MouseUtils\FindMyMouse\FindMyMouse.vcxproj" -p:Configuration=Debug -p:Platform=x64 -m
-```

-
-## Debugging
-
-### Existing launch configuration
-
-The repo provides `.vscode/launch.json` with:
-
-- `Run PowerToys.exe (no build)`: Launches the already-built executable at `x64/Debug/PowerToys.exe` using `cppvsdbg`.
-
-Build first, then press F5. To switch configuration (Release / ARM64) either edit the path or create additional launch entries.
-
-### Attaching to a running instance
-
-If PowerToys is already running, you can attach to that process:
-
-2. VS Code command palette: “C/C++: (Windows) Attach to Process”.
-3. Filter for `PowerToys.exe` / module-specific processes.
-
-### Debugging managed components
-
-Many modules have a managed component loaded into the PowerToys process. `cppvsdbg` can debug mixed mode, but if you need richer .NET inspection you can create a second configuration using `type: coreclr` and `processId` attachment after the native launch, or just attach separately:
-
-Similar for attach to managed code.
-> Note: In arm64 machine, can only debug arm64 code.
-
-```jsonc
-{
-    "version": "0.2.0",
-    "configurations": [
-        {
-            "name": "Run native executable (no build)",

-## If for any reason, you'd like to test winget install scenario, you can follow this doc:
-
-### Powertoys winget manifest definition:
-[winget repository](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/PowerToys)
-
-### How to test a winget installation locally:
-1. Get artifacts from release CI pipeline  Pipelines - Runs for PowerToys Signed YAML Release Build, or you can build one yourself by execute the 
- 'tools\build\build-installer.ps1' script
-
-2. Get the artifact hash, this is required to define winget manifest
-```powershell
-cd /path/to/your/directory/contains/installer
-Get-FileHash -Path ".\<Installer-name>.exe" -Algorithm SHA256
-```
- 3.  Host your installer.exe - Attention: staged github release artifacts or artifacts in release pipeline is not OK in this step
-You can self-host it or you can upload to a publicly available endpoint  
-**How to selfhost it** (A extremely simple way):
-```powershell
-python -m http.server 8000
-```
-
-4. Download a version folder from wingetpkgs like: [version 0.92.1](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/PowerToys/0.92.1)
-and you get **a folder contains 3 yml files**
->note: Do not put any files other than these three in this folder
-
-5. Modify the yml files based on your version and the self hosted artifact link, and modify the sha256 hash for the installer you'd like to use
-
-6. Start winget install:
-```powershell
-#execute as admin
-winget settings --enable LocalManifestFiles
-winget install --manifest "<folder_path_of_manifest_files>" --architecture x64 --scope user
-```

-# PowerToys Settings – Search Index (Hard-sealed)
-
-## 1. What to index
-
-This section describes the current structure of the settings pages in PowerToys. All user-facing settings are contained in the content of <controls:SettingsPageControl>. The logical and visual structure of settings follows a nested layout as shown below:
-
-```css
-SettingsPageControl
- └─ SettingsGroup
-     └─ [SettingsExpander]
-         └─ SettingsCard
-```
-* Each SettingsGroup defines a functional section within a settings page.
-
-* An optional SettingsExpander may be used to further organize related settings inside a group.
-
-* Each actual setting is represented by a SettingsCard, which contains one user-tweakable control or a group of closely related controls.
-
->Note: Not all SettingsCard are necessarily wrapped in a SettingsExpander; they can exist directly under a SettingsGroup. 
-
-> For indexing purposes, we are specifically targeting all SettingsCard elements. These are the smallest units of user interaction and correspond to individual configurable settings.
-
-> There could be setting item in expander, so we also need to index expander items as well.
-
-### Module
-Module is a primary type that needs to be indexed, for modules, we need to index the 'ModuleTitle' and the 'ModuleDescription'. 
-So these two should be passed in by x:Uid and binding with a key. 
-
-
-### SettingsCard/SettingsExpander
-
-Each SettingsCard/SettingsExpander should have an x:Uid for localization and indexing. The associated display strings are defined in the .resw files:
-
-{x:Uid}.Header – The visible label/title of the setting.
-{x:Uid}.Description – (optional) The tooltip or explanatory text.
-
-The index should be built around these SettingsCard elements and their x:Uid-bound resources, as they represent the actual settings users will search for.
-
----
-
-## 2. How to Navigate
-
-### Entry
-```csharp
-enum EntryType
-{
-    SettingsPage,
-    SettingsCard,
-    SettingsExpander,
-}
-
-public class SearchableElementMetadata
-{
-    public string PageName { get; set; }    // Used to navigate to a specific page
-    public EntryType Type { get; set; }     // Used to know how should we navigate(As a page, a settingscard or an expander?)
-    public string ParentElementName { get; set; }
-    public string ElementName { get; set; }
-    public string ElementUid { get; set; }
-    public string Icon { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-### Navigation
-The steps for navigate to an item:
-* Navigate among pages
-* [optional] Expand the expander if setting entry is inside an expander
-* [optional] Navigate within page
-
-> Use page name for navigation:
-```csharp
-Type GetPageTypeFromPageName(string PageName)
-{
-    var assembly = typeof(GeneralPage).Assembly;
-    return assembly.GetType($"Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Views.{PageName}");
-}
-
-NavigationService.Navigate(PageType, ElementName，ParentElementName);
-```
-
-> Use ElementName and ParentElementName for in page navigation:
-```csharp
-Page.OnNavigateTo(ElementName， ParentElementName){
-    var element = this.FindName(name) as FrameworkElement;
-    var parentElement = this.FindName(ParentElementName) as FrameworkElement;
-
-    if(parentElement) {
-        expander = (Expander)parentElement;
-        if(expander){
-            expander.Expand();
-        }
-
-        // https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.ui.xaml.uielement.startbringintoview?view=winrt-26100        
-        element.StartBringIntoView();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## 3. Runtime Search
-When user start typing for an entry, e.g. shortcut or 快捷键(cn version of shortcut),
-we need to go through all the entries to see if an entry matches the search text.
-
-A naive approach will be try to match all the localized text one by one and see if they match.
-Total entry is within thousand(To fill in an exact number), performance is acceptable now.
-```csharp
-// Match
-query = UserInput();
-matched = {};
-
-indexes = BuildIndex();
-
-foreach(var entry in indexes) {
-    if(entry.Match(query)) {
-        matched.Add(entry);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-And we don't intend to introduce complexity on the match algorithm discussion, so let's use powertoys FuzzMatch impl for now.
-```csharp
-MatchResult Match(this Entry entry, string query) {
-    return FuzzMatch(entry.DisplayedText, query);
-}
-
-struct MatchResult{
-    int Score;
-    bool Result;
-}
-```
-
-## 4. Search Result Page
-![search result page](./search-result.png)
-After we got matched items, map these items to a search result page according to spec.
-```c#
-ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> ModuleResult;
-ObservableCollection<SettingsGroup> GroupedSettingsResults;
-
-public class SettingsGroup : INotifyPropertyChanged
-{
-    private string _groupName;
-    private ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> _settings;
-    public string GroupName
-    {
-        get => _groupName;
-        set
-        {
-            _groupName = value;
-            OnPropertyChanged();
-        }
-    }
-    public ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> Settings
-    {
-        get => _settings;
-        set
-        {
-            _settings = value;
-            OnPropertyChanged();
-        }
-    }
-    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
-    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
-    {
-        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## 5. How to do Index
-### Runtime index or build time index?
-Now We need to build all the entries in our settings.
-
-Most of the entry properties are static, and in runtime, the `SettingsCard` is compiled into native winUI3 controls <small>(I suppose, please correct here if it's wrong)</small>, it's hard to locate all the `SettingsCard`, and performance is terrible if we do search for all the pages' elements.
-
-### Build time indexing
-We can rely on xaml file parsing to get all the SettingsCard Entries. 
-And we don't want xaml file to be brought into production bundle.
-Use a project for parsing and bring that index file into production bundle is a solution.
-```csproj
-  <Target Name="GenerateSearchIndex" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild">
-    <PropertyGroup>
-      <BuilderExe>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\..\Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder\bin\$(Configuration)\net8.0\XamlIndexBuilder.exe</BuilderExe>
-      <XamlDir>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Views</XamlDir>
-      <GeneratedJson>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Services\searchable_elements.json</GeneratedJson>
-    </PropertyGroup>
-    <Exec Command="&quot;$(BuilderExe)&quot; &quot;$(XamlDir)&quot; &quot;$(GeneratedJson)&quot;" />
-  </Target>
-```
-```csharp
-for(xamlFile in xamlFiles){
-    var doc = Load(xamlFile);
-    var elements = doc.Descendants();
-
-    foreach(var element in elements){
-        if(element.Name == "SettingsCard") {
-            var entry = new Entry{
-                ElementName = element.Attribute["Name"],
-                PageName = FileName,
-                Type = "SettingsCard",
-                ElementUid = element.Attribute["Uid"],
-                DisplayedText = "",
-            }
-
-            var parent = element.GetParent();
-            if(parent.Name == "SettingsExpander"){
-                entry.ParentElementName = parent.Attribute["Name"];
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-Runtime index loading:
-```
-var entries = LoadEntriesFromFile();
-foreach(var entry in entries){
-    entry.DisplayedText = ResourceLoader.GetString(entry.Uid);
-}
-```
-So now we have all the entries and entry properties.

-## 6. Corner cases - that have not addressed yet
-
-1. CmdPal page is not in scope of this effort, that needs additional effort&design to launch and search within cmdpal settings page.
-
-2. Go back button
-
-3. Dynamic constructed settings page
- - Shortcut guide,  with visibility converter
- - advanced paste dynamically configured setting items

-     * Summary: Why we return IDIGNORE here
-     *
-     * - Goal: Keep behavior consistent with our previous WiX 3 installer to avoid "files in use / close apps" prompts and preserve silent installs (e.g., winget).
-     * - WiX 5 change: We can no longer suppress that dialog the same way. Combined with winget adding /silent, this BAFunction returns IDIGNORE to continue without prompts.
-     * - Main trigger: Win10-style context menu uses registry + DLL; Explorer/dllhost.exe (COM Surrogate) often holds locks. Killing them is disruptive; this is a pragmatic trade-off.
-     * - Trade-off: Some file replacements may defer until reboot (PendingFileRename), but installation remains non-interruptive.
-     * - Full fix: Rewrite a custom Bootstrapper Application if we need complete control over prompts and behavior.
-     * - Note: Even with this handler, a full-UI install (e.g., double-clicking the installer) can still show a FilesInUse dialog; this primarily targets silent installs.

-# Common – shared libraries guidance (concise)
-
-Scope
-- Logging, IPC, settings, DPI, telemetry, utilities consumed by multiple modules.
-
-Guidelines
-- Avoid breaking public headers/APIs; if changed, search & update all callers.
-- Coordinate ABI-impacting struct/class layout changes; keep binary compatibility.
-- Watch perf in hot paths (hooks, timers, serialization); avoid avoidable allocations.
-- Ask before adding third‑party deps or changing serialization formats.
-
-Acceptance
-- No unintended ABI breaks, no noisy logs, new non-obvious symbols briefly commented.
