"Similarly, development won't stop. I don't know what your expectations are, but please refrain from calling the project "dead" and the likes. " You are right to insist on this point. Many people have abusively tell that ClassicShell, since its resumption by the community, was "dead", is it to turn many users, while OpenShell (ClassicShell) is still alive, and remains the best classic start menu for Windows (Without even talking about the toolbar for the file explorer). Personally, if I fall on anyone who insinuates that ExplorerPatcher is "dead", I will repeat tirelessly the truth. |

Hi
In the light of how things have been evolving lately, I have taken the decision to limit the interactions on this repository. This means that Discussions, Issues, commit messages etc will soon become read only until further notice.
The decision is motivated by a couple of factors, which I will briefly summarize below:
What about the source? The source code will, of course, still remain fully public. What really changes with this is a shift in development model, from open development, to an AOSP-like model, where stuff is developed based on how I envision this application, behind closed doors, and the code is updated whenever changes happen, usually along new versions. Similarly, development won't stop. I don't know what your expectations are, but please refrain from calling the project "dead" and the likes. Considering this, please refrain from messaging me with feature requests, as, with all due respect, I really don't have time for any anymore.
What's next? I will close the forums here some time after the next major release drops, which should be today or tomorrow, unless something major happens (again). As you may have noticed, this latest release seems to never make it, having by far the most number of pre-releases, with almost 2 months since the latest release. On a brighter note, it's true that a lot of functionalities have been implemented since the latest release, and of course those take time to polish an get ready. Hopefully, with it finally being in the state I kind of envisioned it for shipping, it will make it to a release in the coming days.
Where to go for support? I don't necessarily have a recommendation for that. I have seen people discussing EP here, for example: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/new-version-of-explorerpatcher.1991/
Of course, I am thankful for the members of the community here that took the time to help and assist others, and tried to help keep the discussions on track.
The closure here is not (may not be) permanent, but will last until further notice.
Thank you very much and I hope EP serves you well.
