"Save selection to file" dialog on vista x64

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

"Save selection to file" dialog on vista x64

Post by *sz »

The "Save selection to file" dialog does not show up at all if x64DisableRedirection is on. Nothing happens after clicking the menu. Same applies to Load selection from file.
If x64DisableRedirection is turned off, the dialog shows up, but its size is wrong. Load selection from file dialog is fine this time.

Using 32 bit vista everything is fine.

BTW I think it would be an good feature if the separator lines (after using find files to find duplicate files) could be saved to this text file somehow, for example as an empty line in the file (I know, they are not files, and they can not be selected, but sometimes it can be very useful to save them)

Apparently Vista is trying to load a DLL when opening that dialog, which fails because the system32 dir points somewhere else. Unfortunately this means that you can't use the save function together with x64DisableRedirection=1. I can turn it off temporarily, but then you can't access the system32 dir with that function. Normally this should be no problem because the user has no write rights there anyway.

Btw, do you get the same problem with the "Open" dialog in Lister? This would be worse, because the user may actually want to see a file from "system32"...

Yes, the same applies to open and save as dialogs in lister too. [It was no problem for me, I did not even know those dialogs exist:)]

not isolated to Total Commander

I get this with Visual Studio 2005 occasionally, and it breaks both Open / Save, but also makes Print not able to access the properties page of any printer.

When I get this VS2005 also complains about a number of its package's GUIDs not being found anymore, even though the app started with them just fine, and a second instance of the app works just fine.

I'd be curious what your code fix is (provided you come up with one) maybe given that I can figure out how to get around reopening VS (and the 50+ project solution.... slow.... SC integration...)

Good luck and Thanks

Maybe turn the redirection back on, open the dialog, and then (either through a callback function or timer) turn the redirection off again?
