Will you please reintroduce IColumnProvider so we can get back the folder size column back in Explorer? It's unbelievable something which was possible in Windows XP isn't possible in Windows 7. Why was this deprecated in the first place? Was it unsecure code? The Folder size shell extensions was very very useful. The Property system isn't a replacement its developer has been saying (social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../2056b237-574d-483c-8ecd-f2842dd70081) because it is about static metadata that can be indexed by the new search system, is there a way to display DYNAMIC INFORMATION? Without the Folder Size shell extension working, I doubt I will ever migrate to Windows 7.

Tommyinoz,

Great question. As you've discovered, libraries have been designed to be compatible. Opening and saving files to and from libraries with the common file dialog is transparent to applications.

Also, we've made libraries not look like file system locations to applications. There are many non-file system locations in the system; for instance, control panel, computer and desktop are all "abstract" locations without actual file system paths. Many applications can already work with non-file system locations like libraries and most older applications exclude these non-file system locations entirely from their experiences.

Your Word 2003 example, is a great example of why applications should use the common file dialog. It is using a custom file dialog that was explicitly designed for Windows XP and earlier. The file dialog still works with files and folders bit it doesn’t have all of the latest improvements in the Windows Explorer since Windows XP like search, improved navigation and libraries. As the user experience evolves users expect their applications to evolve with it. The common file dialog is the best way to make that happen. As you may have noticed, Office 2007 has been updated to use the common file dialog.

If you want to learn more about the space I recommend that you watch my PDC talk on the Windows 7 Explorer: channel9.msdn.com/.../PC16

Thanks much for your feedback,

David Washington
