what's different about file ops before & after 14.80.0201?

[bdeshi]

Hey, I was looking thru recent changelogs for something and noticed this.

Code: Select all

v14.80.0201 - 2015-01-13 16:55
    * Something has been added internally that will serve to support the "new" 
      (ahem) file operation interface that's available in Windows since some 
      Vista service pack. You won't see anything yet but feel it: it's there 
      now... It will come of use with Portable Devices, but not only there.

What the change?

[admin]

PD file operations ONLY work with this new interface.

The other place where I employed it is creating new files and folders in UAC protected locations. Now you will get the expected elevation prompt. Before, XY would simply fail, and you had to restart it as admin manually.
