FlashFolder is an easy-to-use and useful tool that extends the file-related common dialogs (e.g. open/save dialog) seen in most Windows applications.
A small toolbar docks onto these dialogs that provides menus for quick access to recently-used folders, favorite folders and more.
Here are some key features of "FlashFolder":
· Enlarges the dialogs to a configurable size (even non-resizable file dialogs of many programs)
· Automatically positions the dialogs at the center of the main program window or at the center of the screen
· Enlarges the directory- and file type drop-down fields so less scrolling is needed for them
· Total Commander (R) directory menu can be displayed instead of FlashFolders own favorites
· The following dialogs are currently supported:
· Common open/save dialog (Windows 2000 / XP)
· MS Office open/save dialog (requires Windows XP for full functionality)
· Common browse for folder dialog (Windows 2000 / XP)
· open with dialog (Windows 2000)
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· FlashFolder misdetected some MS Office dialogs (e. g. Find and Replace) as open/save dialogs, possibly resulting in corruption of the global folder history.
· Notepad and propably other programs could hang when the “Folders of open files” menu was opened. I had to remove the “Folders of open files” feature since I still have no idea how to fix it.
