Hi Maurice, Thank you for the valued information and experience shared. > it might also remove features > which are not allowed for store applications (eg. regular file access). Is it correct to say that a Store app cannot be an editor opening files in any location permitted, writing texts, Save As for the files etc. - complete sand-boxing like at iOS? Is there a way to get permissions to function as a simple editor? Is there Clipboard text/image exchange still allowed? Thanks in advance.
