Updated QuickSwitch [AutoHotkey]

[Filehero]

Finally got around to install it and got it working (an early version didn't work, but I didn't spent more time on it).

And finally something bringing back some file-ex (no https/TLS url!) vibes! Great!

Many thanks, Raf!

βeta v1.4.9

• Improved Auto Switch and path selection speed.
• Improved logging messages.
• Improved file dialog errors displaying.
• Improved code readability.
• Fixed menu re-appear after disabling Auto Switch.

βeta v1.4.8

• Added dialog name to the "Debug" window.
• You can export dialog info and read internal and visible dialog name in the exported file.
• Added .ahk source code archives for all stable βeta versions. Now you can choose any version and run/compile it manually.
• Reduced the timeout of waiting for XYplorer paths (now empty menu appears faster so you can quickly open XY again and switch back to the dialog).
• Fixed checking for dialog buttons.

Maybe IDM?

It have hidden Edit fields, buttons and tree so QuickSwitch treats it as dialog
Sad, but that's not even ListView...

βeta v1.4.7
Added "Show Menu always" and "Show menu after path selection" options in "Menu settings".

When I open its interface, QuickSwitch shows the menu.

Thank you, I'll take a look!

I've changed some code for ListView dialogs. But I cant test it. Can you recommend some apps with ListView file dialog?

[Raf]

βeta v1.4.6
Added "Close old dialog" option in "Menu settings". Some old dialogs are immediately closed after changing the path.

Fixed regressions:

• General (common dialog) closed immediately after opening if “Auto Switch” was enabled.
• The menu did not open after closing the settings.

Did you try it with https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Fi ... Sync.shtml?

I can't add it because there's no Edit field.

And I cant send full path to the tree. It ignores any messages.

βeta v1.4.5

• Added "always Auto Switch" setting
• Changed "Show menu..." and "Open menu..." ini param names (please change them again in settings)
• Simplified determining file dialog type
• Fixed switching between Menu options

Sorry, I meant modern "Select Folder" dialog was introduced in Windows Vista.

MS created common dialog in Win95, but modern style was applied in Win Vista

EDIT: AI says they were introduced in Windows Vista.

The first steps and experiments were taken back in Win95. But old dialogs can be written on C++ in 5 minutes. . .

Understandable, because most apps of this type don't support "Browse for Folder" dialogs. They are tricky.

What I don't understand is why programmers (including Don) use them, because there is a modern "Select Folder" dialog:
