![]() This is something I'll probably be adding a new setting for in a near-future update.Finally, thanks for the encouragement. As someone who has been using the app myself on the Desktop, I've a feeling that such a location to access file related actions is slightly unnatural on the Desktop, and it would feel better if it was located in the top left instead. Speaking of which, yes, there is a setting to enable the text to run across the width of the entire window this isn't the default, but perhaps should have been because I've a feeling there will be others like you who will consider the empty space to be wasted.The one concession I will make is that the Filebar (where all the file actions are contained) is in the bottom left orientated vertically (when the window size is big enough). The main purpose behind using iconography consistently regardless of device/screen size was to have as little UI as possible with the idea that the content is what matters. I iterated plenty on the app's UI to ensure that the phone is neither touch-first nor keyboard/mouse-first but rather optimised for both interaction modes (for example, there's a wealth of keyboard shortcuts I added intentionally to make it as power-user friendly as possible). In reply to skane2600:Thanks for the feedback skane2600.I am not sure I agree with you that using iconography instead of labelled text buttons means the app has been designed first and foremost for the phone. Now if developers could actually make a living entirely from writing UWP apps, things would be great. I'll spend more time looking at it later.Having said all that, congrats on your first UWP app. ![]() I'm not using the Premium features and perhaps I've missed some configuration options.I admit I'm better at making negative comments than positive ones. I also noticed that on the desktop there's a lot of empty space on the left and right of the text area. It's the classic WORE dilemma: should the program be consistent from one platform to another, or should it be the best it can be on each platform? Of course, making the latter choice involves doing more platform-specific work which somewhat undermines the advantages of a "Universal" platform. Given the tiny space available on a phone, it makes sense to use icons, but on the desktop descriptive text would make the app more user friendly. In some ways this app illustrates the problem I have with the whole UWP concept.
