19.3.3. Jump Lists
Jump lists offer a practical way of calling up recently opened files. To display the
recently used files, simply right-click on the application icon in the taskbar. Thus if
you right-click on the Word icon, the recently used Word documents are displayed.
You can also easily place other files you wish to have easily to hand in the jump list
so that they are always displayed. This allows you to access documents that you use
frequently in just a few mouse clicks.
The jump lists for certain programs such as Windows® 8 Media Player can be
populated in advance with frequently used commands. Thus, for example, you
will see options to play all music or to reopen the last playlist in the jump list for
Windows® 8 Media Player.
The frequently visited and last visited websites are displayed in the jump list for
Internet Explorer. This therefore allows you to quickly access commands for certain
programs that could previously only be called up from the program itself, such as
the command to compose a new email message.
19.3.4. Improved Desktop
Windows® 8 simplifies working with windows on the desktop. You therefore have
more intuitive options for opening and closing, changing sizes and rearranging.
Windows® 8 makes completing everyday tasks even simpler. The locking function
(snaps) makes it easier to compare two open windows, for example. You do not
need to manually adjust the size of the opened windows to make a comparison.
Simply drag the window to one of the screen margins using the mouse and it will fill
half of the screen.
Click the window's title bar, "shake" it and all other opened windows are displayed
as icons on the task bar. "Shake" the window once more and the other windows are
displayed again.
19.3.5. Improved Device Management
Windows® 8 allows you to connect, manage and use all devices via the central
"Devices" function. All devices are shown in a central location.
With the new "Device Stage" technology, however, Windows® 8 goes one step
further with device management. Device Stage helps you to use all compatible
devices that are connected to the computer. Thanks to Device Stage you can now
display the device status and perform frequently used commands within a single
window. Here you will even find images of the devices so you can easily see which
devices are connected. The device manufacturers can even adjust Device Stage. For
example, if your camera manufacturer releases an updated version of Device Stage,
you can see details such as the number of photos on the camera and get links to
useful information when you connect the camera to your Notebook.
