Whenever ReactOS finishes its operations onto the registry and unlocks it, a lazy flush is invoked to do an eventual flushing of the registry to the backing storage of the system. Except that... lazy flushing never comes into place.
This is because whenever CmpLazyFlush is called that sets up a timer which needs to expire in order to trigger the lazy flusher engine worker. However, registry locking/unlocking is a frequent occurrence, mainly when on desktop. Therefore as a matter of fact, CmpLazyFlush keeps removing and inserting the timer and the lazy flusher will never kick in that way.
Ironically the lazy flusher actually does the flushing when on USETUP installation phase because during text-mode setup installation in ReactOS the frequency of registry operations is actually less so the timer has the opportunity to expire and fire up the flusher.
In addition to that, we must queue a lazy flush when marking cells as dirty because such dirty data has to be flushed down to the media storage of the system. Of course, the real place where lazy flushing operation is done should be in a subset helper like HvMarkDirty that marks parts of a hive as dirty but since we do not have that, we'll be lazy flushing the registry during cells dirty marking instead for now.
CORE-18303
- Add enums for Control Panel and Registry Folder columns
- Fix iColumn values in GetDetailsOf() and fix checks in
GetDefaultColumnState()
Current CControlPanelFolder::CompareIDs was using wrong lparam column
index. Actual column index should be 1 instead of 4. Because of this
the comment column next to name in details view was not being displayed
correctly. The same fixes for CRegFolder class functions.
PR #4944. CORE-18743 CORE-18501
The old string lacked a *mandatory* comma before the word "übereinstimmen"
as the part "die Sie nutzen wollen" is a relative clause,
relative to the noun "Anwendungen".
But we can fix it without having to add the comma by some shuffling.
That also improves the reading flow.
The official definition in winddi.h always returns the result in an ULONG. This works to assign to a FLOATL on x86, which is also an ULONG, but it doesn't work on any other architecture, where FLOATL is actually a FLOAT, so the assignment would convert the ULONG encoding of the FLOAT to an actual float, which gives broken results. Work around this by simply replacing the definition with a sane one in win32k.
Fix a bug when after closing the settings window for a screensaver,
the preview for it wouldn't restart.
- Keep waiting for messages from the settings window while it's open
- Fix leaking two handles to avoid creating zombie processes
CORE-18680
Several fixes and improvements to the CDeskLinkDropHandler:
- Set default working directory for shortcuts (except folders and zip files)
- Copy existing shortcut to the desktop if the source file is a shortcut
- Prevent destination file name collision
Verified on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1.
