Today we are releasing **Files Preview v3.8.1** for users of the [preview](/download/) version.
10+
11+
## Changes
12+
13+

36+
37+
### Taskbar
38+
39+
- Removed the number of open tabs from being displayed in the Windows Taskbar.
40+
41+
### Archives
42+
43+
- Added support for setting Files as the default app on Windows for opening `gz` archives.
44+
45+
### Drag & drop
46+
47+
- Improved the behavior so that Files is no longer brought to the foreground when dragging items to another application.
48+
49+
### Details Layout
50+
51+
- Modifying which columns are enabled in the Settings will now automatically update existing tabs. Previously, this setting only applied to tabs opened after the change.
52+
53+
### Release Notes
54+
55+
- The Release Notes dialog was updated to display changelogs directly from the Files website.
56+
- Added a new [action](/docs/customize-settings/actions/) to open the Release Notes dialog. Previously, the dialog was only accessible during the session immediately following an update.
57+
58+
## Fixes
59+
60+
### Address Bar
61+
62+
- Fixed an issue where the address bar flyouts sometimes displayed duplicate items.
63+
64+
### Tabs
65+
66+
- Fixed an issue where tabs weren't placed in the correct order when dragged from other windows.
67+
68+
### Actions
69+
70+
- Fixed an issue with the 'Run with PowerShell' action not working for files with spaces in their names.
71+
72+
### Conclusion
73+
74+
As always, we appreciate your feedback and suggestions on how we improve Files. You can reach us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/files) and on [GitHub](https://github.com/files-community/Files/).
