Happy New Year Peace Man,
There is no timetable for next versions of Visual BCD.
Visual BCD Editor is just an interface to BCD.
It displays everything what's there and you can freely edit everything.
Using the tool you can do all the things you can do with bcdedit.exe but instead of writing command lines
you select, click, edit strings, numbers etc.
You should have some knowledge what you are doing, the same is needed when you use bcdedit.
BCD stuff is not so complicated as it may look.
1. You have a boot manager with its parameters.
2. Then you have loaders with their parameters.
3. Then you have also some settings objects which are common for all other objects and are not changed usually so this part of BCD can be ignored.
A loader describes how you name the OS, where it is(which partition) and what program to use to load the OS.
We have three kind of loaders - one for booting, one for resuming and one for starting recovery - for every installed OS.
Boot manager has a list of boot loaders (=boot menu=displayOrder) and "timeout" to display boot menu.
This is a very short introduction but covers the main parts of BCD.
Usually loader parameters have a descriptive enough symbolic name like "ApplicationDevice" (on which device is the OS), "ApplicationPath" (path to loader executable), "Description" (name of loader as displayed in boot menu).
If you don't understand what you are doing with BCD when changing some object and parameter you can very easily make the system unbootable!
BUT WE HAVE BACKUP functionality.
So you make a backup and if not happy with edit/change just restore BCD.
To be able to make experiments (if you don't fully understand what you are doing)
YOU SHOULD HAVE A RECOVERY/INSTALLATION USB or DVD (for every installed OS)
and you should know how to boot it and go to command line.
You need one single bcdedit command to restore BCD:
bcdedit /restore path_to_BCD_backup_file /clean
Then you need to have some understanding of partitions, boot sectors, MBR,
what is a system(active) partition,
what is EFI System partition,
and what is the boot sequence for BIOS booting and for UEFI booting.
That would be almost everything you need to diagnose and correct a boot problem.
Now the answer to your important question:
Visual BCD Editor will not stop you do any nonsense with BCD BUT
you can do the nonsense a lot easier than with bcdedit ;)
Microsoft could very easily create a graphical BCD tool but they didn't because usually you don't need bcd editing.
For easy manipulation of complicated BCD stuff Microsoft has created the utility "bcdboot".
Just have a read of bcdboot help.
You can repair/fix BCD with a single command like:
bcdboot c:\windows
You don't usually need a BCD editor for fixing boot problems.
Hope I pointed you in the right direction with this notes.
Don't hesitate to ask if you need some assistance,
Bo
