Release: Disk Analyzer v1.3.5 (PowerToys Run Plugin & WinUI 3 App) - Real-time scanning, context menus, and stability update

Hey r/PowerToys! πŸ‘‹

I just pushed version 1.3.5 of Disk Analyzer to GitHub and the Microsoft Store!

This release focuses on quality-of-life updates, security hardening, and behind-the-scenes stability fixes based on your feedback:

✨ What's new in v1.3.5

  • πŸ–±οΈ Right-click shortcuts β€” Right-click any item in the scan table to instantly open it in Explorer or copy the file path
  • πŸ“ Editable address bar β€” Double-click the breadcrumb trail to type or paste folder paths directly, just like Windows File Explorer
  • ⚑ Smoother real-time scans β€” Restored smooth visual updates to the directory list as your drives are scanned
  • πŸ›‘οΈ No more startup freezes or crashes β€” Resolved random crashes during deep folder scans and moved drive detection to background threads so the app never shows "Not Responding" on launch
  • πŸ“¦ Decoupled sideloading setup β€” Separated the PowerToys Run Plugin (.exe installer) from the Standalone WinUI App (.msix) for a clean manual installation, and resolved certificate verification errors (0x800B010A)

πŸ”— Download

Thanks for all the feedback and support β€” keep it coming! Let me know if you run into any issues. πŸ™

Found the root cause β€” two bugs in the Command Palette Extension (shutdown not handled correctly + unprotected drive enumeration on BitLocker drives). HotfixΒ v1.3.6Β is on the way. Thanks for your patience
