I really wanted to add all this. I present to you a modification of the famous QuickSwitch with extended support for XYplorer:
https://github.com/JoyHak/QuickSwitch/releases
About
QuickSwitch allows you to switch file dialogs (like Save As or Open) to any folder opened in supported file managers (File Explorer, Directory Opus, Total Commander, XYPlorer).
It has two modes:
1. Menu mode: displays a list of opened folders. Selecting one switches the file dialog to that folder. The menu won't appear if no folders are open.
2. AutoSwitch mode: the file dialog automatically opens the last active folder in the file manager when you
Alt-Tab
between them. If the file manager was active before opening the dialog, it opens that folder immediately. You can still use Ctr+Q
to access the menu if needed.AutoSwitch can be disabled using the
Never
option. There's also Never here
option to disable QuickSwitch for specific dialogs, like web browsers, which manage their own folders.Extended support for XYplorer
- If you open a
Rapid Access Folder
or a virtual path (Rapid/Music, Downloads), it can be displayed instead of the full path.- The menu will display the paths from all open folders starting from the current one. Previously, only 1 path was displayed.
