ElektroStudios/File2Startup

File2Startup is a Windows Forms utility application built on .NET Framework 4.8 that manages file associations and startup configurations. It provides core functionality for handling file paths, registry interactions, and assembly reflection, supported by a custom UI framework featuring window snapping and localized dialogs. The system persists user preferences such as recent file lists and display culture, while offering detailed metadata about loaded assemblies through an integrated About interface.

The File2Startup application is introduced with version 1.3.4, targeting the .NET Framework 4.8. The release includes a Visual Studio 2013 solution structure and an application configuration that enables file-based logging via the FileLogTraceListener. The application manifest requests the highest available execution privileges and declares compatibility with Windows 10.

The application now includes an About form that displays product metadata (name, version, architecture, company, copyright, description) and a read-only grid listing all currently loaded assemblies. The form features a link to the project's GitHub repository and supports English, Spanish, and Portuguese through new resource files.

Source/File2Startup/UserInterface · high confidence

This update introduces several new helper classes and UI components to the DevCase library. For user interface enhancements, it adds a \CenteredMessageBox\ that displays dialogs centered on a specific owner control with optional auto-close timeouts, and a \WindowMagnetizer\ that allows windows to snap to screen edges. It also introduces a \ControlHintManager\ system, including \ControlHintInfo\ and \ControlHintType\, which enables developers to set customizable, persistent, or transient hint text on edit controls. On the utility side, new classes include \FileSystemUtil\ for validating Windows directory and file paths, \ImageUtil\ for extracting file icons via Win32 APIs, \RegistryUtil\ for typed registry value creation and deletion, and \UtilReflection\ for extensive reflection-based inspection of assemblies, types, and members.

The File2Startup application has been updated to version 1.5.0.0, as reflected in the assembly metadata. This change introduces user-scoped settings to persist the Most Recently Used (MRU) file list and the application's display culture (defaulting to English). Additionally, the application manifest is configured to run with standard user privileges (asInvoker) and the application startup is set to use the Main form with Windows authentication and visual styles enabled.
