In this release, we focused on new features, stability, and improvements. In this release, we focused on new features, stability, and improvements.
**Highlights** **Highlights**
- New utility: New+ - allows setting a personalized set of templates to quickly create files and folders from a File Explorer context menu. Thanks [@cgaarden](https://github.com/cgaarden)! - Advanced Paste has new abilities: Image to text, and paste to file (text / png / html).
- Language selection - it's now possible to select which UI language should be used by PowerToys utilities. - In settings, we've adjusted the left navigation to group the utilities. As the number of utilities shipped with PowerToys keeps growing, we felt this was a needed adjustment. Thanks everyone for your feedback!
- Lots of quality fixes for Workspaces, improving the number of supported applications. - Workspaces received many bug fixes, including the proper launching of many instances of the same application in the same workspace. Note, we are still actively looking at how to properly handle PWA detection.
- Reduced Peek memory usage by fixing image leaks. Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment)! - We've added a telemetry opt-in option in the Settings General tab. As it is off-by-default, we encourage users to turn it on as that helps direct our development efforts and their journeys. More information about the data we collect can be found in the [PowerToys Data and Privacy documentation](https://aka.ms/powertoys-data-and-privacy-documentation) and what each event does.
### General ### General
- Added a general setting to select which UI language should be used in PowerToys utilities. - Added a setting for telemetry opt-in (off by default, however, see above for why we encourage you to opt-in!) and user controls to view data.
- Fixed internal code of some policies for Group Policy Objects, that were reading registry entries using the wrong internal functions, and structured code better to avoid future mistakes of the same kind. Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek)! - Improved exception logging by adding the type of Exception and InnerException. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!
### Advanced Paste ### Advanced Paste
- Fixed some telemetry calls to signal Advanced Paste activation on the cases where a direct shortcut is being used without showing the UI. - Added new built-in actions: Image to text, and paste txt, png or html as a file.
- User-defined custom actions can only be used with AI turned on, so custom actions were disabled on Settings when AI is disabled and were hidden from the Advanced Paste UI.
### Awake ### Mouse Jump
