MFU Metro Apps

Does the Most Frequently Used list also factor in the MFU Metro apps? Is there a way to auto-track which are the most MFU Metro apps and also show them in that list? Windows doesn't track those obviously, it only tracks desktop apps but I wondered if Start8 could mix Windows' list with its own tracking of MFU Metro Apps.

Btw just out of curiosity, is Start8 written in Delphi or in C++?

Any metro applications launched from Start8 is included as part of the MFU list. We have less information on them due to their nature (just launches).

Launches from the Windows 8 start menu would not be counted I think.

Start8 is written in C++.

Actually, launches from the Windows 8 start menu are counted. I never used the "Modern UI applications" folder from Start8 to launch metro apps, only used the Windows 8 start page, but all the apps I launched would always show up in the MFU list. This is why I was so happy when the option to hide Metro apps from Start8 was put in a few versions back.
