Updated QuickSwitch [AutoHotkey]

[Raf]

In which file dialogs that you use the menu does not appear? What kind of applications are these?

I added some checks so that the menu does not appear in various erroneous applications, but it seems that the "Blacklist" option is still needed. What should this option be in your opinion?

[Raf]

I've been using the original QuickSwitch for a few years...

Me too, so I started by adding all the paths from xyplorer to the menu
It only took 30mins, that's why I love XY.

One issue I've run into is that when the xy-tab uses variables...

Versions 1.0+ is aimed at high performance and is devoid of various checks and transformations. But XY always transforms virtual paths to the real paths if it can. Sometimes SC PathReal() cannot convert a path.

You can write a bug report. Please attach screenshots with:

• Paths from XY
• This paths display in the menu

And copy any problematic path from the XY address bar and attach it as a log.

To ensure that the correct current paths always appear in the menu, do not open system virtual paths such as This PC. RAF paths is fully converted to real paths.

P.S.: You can use the Short path option to hide the username

Great update, I've been using the original QuickSwitch for a few years and this next-gen is quite promising.

One issue I've run into is that when the xy-tab uses variables (either XY or windows variables), they are not resolved when the script makes the quickswitch. The result is that explorer fails to find the directory.

just a question: I noticed that when I can't Paste into the Open/Save dialogs when QS is running in the background.
Has anyone else noticed that, too - or is it something with my environment. Or did I miss any options?

Record the gif and attach it to the bug report. You can also try the beta version.

Eh - that's weird. Suddenly paste is working again. Must have been another problem - or a temporary glitch in the time/space continuum...

No such effect here.
I can still paste anything into the dialogs.
You should not set the option to always show the menu.

[Norn]

is this a suggestion for improvement?

Yes.
You can hide the Edit1 control with ControlHide before navigation and show the Edit1 control after navigation, just like Listary does.

[Raf]

You suggest something like this?

[Raf]

Using the Edit1 control should be more universal, because some dialogs don't have an address bar.
Maybe most people can accept using the address bar, so it shouldn't matter.

I want to clarify: do you have a problem with the Edit field or is this a suggestion for improvement?

Thank you, I'll try to add this file dialogs support. Do archive managers have their own file dialogs? I received a suggestion to add support for BandiZip dialog...

No, most don't use custom file dialogs including BandiZip which works just fine with QuickSwitch.

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

Have you tried disable AutoSwitch?

There is some code on the AutoHotkey forum for virtual folders.

Its not hard to implement. But I deleted it, bc it not very useful. This app should be more versatile. Use "Short Path" option instead, its more customizable than RAF names.

I don't use AutoSwitch, I looked at your gif.

1. XYplorer , select a file, go to Edit >> Copy To >> Browse button.

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