v1 (Windows Forms) vs. v2 (WPF) Comparison

[Hofknecht]

As we approach the release of v2, this document will continue to evolve. Our ultimate objective is to ensure that v2 functions identically to v1 in every aspect. However, it is important to note that in certain specific areas, achieving a 100% match may present inherent challenges.

Main Change "Performance" WinForms -> WPF

Moving from WinForms to WPF for our open-source tool simplifies UI changes and aligns with our goal of achieving cross-platform compatibility, all while enhancing overall performance.

WPF has other font rendering engine than v1 or Windows Explorer

The font may not appear 100% identical in WPF due to inherent differences in rendering engines:

1. windows explorer (win10)
2. v1
3. WPF

• In v1 when context menu open and you press again right click this will only close the context menu. In v2 right click always opens context menu
