Updated QuickSwitch [AutoHotkey]

[Raf]

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:

They are all using the new one, not the old one. Yes, they don't have the input field, but they are new ones.

Thank you. I'm not sure how to determine and fill in this type of dialog. There is nothing to fill in in this dialog , which means that the Menu is useless here. It has too few fields, and QuickSwitch can start confusing dialogs if they don't have unique fields...

Not yet. Tested in XY, RegShot, 7z and WinRAR only

They are all using the new one, not the old one. Yes, they don't have the input field, but they are new ones.

If it helps, all old dialogs have these characteristics:

Code: Select all

Window: #32770

Controls:
Static1
Static2
SysTreeView321
Button1
Button2

Did you try it with ...?

Added old-styles dialogs without input fields. Please try it.

Doesn't work for me, tested both QuickSwitch-1.4.4-x64.exe and QuickSwitch-1.4.4-x32.exe.

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

βeta v1.4.4

• Fixed auto-startup shortcut for βeta versions.
• Menu no longer appear in non-dialog windows or in dialogs with no buttons or input fields.
• The internal structure of source code and files has been changed.
• The menu reappears after enabling any option.
• Updated Total Commander core.

Thank you, but only newer ones are supported, because the older ones still aren't

The new version 1.4.2 now works for me in Total Commander and XY

Thanks for testing Please do not duplicate the comments on the two forums. Write only on TC or only here, so that I can keep track of what is happening.

OK, I'll test the older versions.

Any plans for supporting the worst of them all and that is "Browse for Folder" dialog?

Added.

2. This app uses even older one, which cannot be resized.

As reported, it works fine in XY but not at all in TC.

Fixed.

Added. Fixed slow down if XYplorer child windows are open or a file dialog is open in XY.

New beta version: https://github.com/JoyHak/QuickSwitch/r ... /tag/1.4.1
Full changelog will be available on release. I've greatly improved performance.

When the xy-tab uses variables (either XY or windows variables), they are not resolved

Fixed.

Using the address bar to navigate causes flickering and leaves a trail, I use the Edit1 control to navigate

Now all dialogs use the Edit field. AutoSwitch and path selection now work very quickly.
