It’s completely inconsistent with traditional Windows design language and there’s no “Cancel” button or an X in the corner to click on so you can’t cancel out of it with your mouse and have to reach for Esc on your keyboard
It also tries to funnel you into a shitty Microsoft service
I don’t really understand what you’re saying. How would my proposal differ in that regard from what windows is doing in the OP? Should it just say “sorry you can’t open that”? Why would you be renaming a file that “isn’t meant to be opened”?
It clearly isn’t a me problem since the OP has 100 upvotes
Where are you microsoft defenders coming from anyway? Why do you care?
i have to savescum to play victoria 3 because it’s a broken piece of shit but I have to play ironman so I’m not overwhelmed with saves or the ability to cheat so I have to make copies of my saves and then to preserve the illusion that I am not savescumming I have to rename the copies to match the original save when whatever bullshit happens, but if I accidentally double click too quickly it tries to open the file
How should windows handle that, and how would adding an X button to the popup make it more intrusive to you in that scenario?
i’m fine with this horribly offensive popup that disappears half a second later versus older versions of windows where it opens a window that I have to actually exit out of, you weirdly belligerent internet weirdo
Sorry if I misread but it seemed to me like you were the belligerent one first. Maybe I was just poised for it after the first comment in this thread.
