thanks will check both. What I love about Flashfolder is that I can go directly to the folder that is displayed in the left or right pane of Total Commander.
This is crucial for me. Do both apps support that? AFAIK only Flashfolder did that.
what counts for me is that favmenu uses the tc directory hotlist.
your needed feature is supported via the hotkeys 1 and 2 or a mouseclick on top of the entries.

I have been trying to make it work for two days now. I still dont get it. I have Windows 7 64bit and unfortunately flash folder only worked for me with XP.
Plain and simple: When an Open or Save Dialog pops up, i want to jump to one of the folders (tabs) which are currently active in total commander.

I have tried Fav Menu 2 but that only brings Total Commander up but does not change the Path in the Open/Save dialog.
I have tried Folder Menu 3 but that only gets me to the Path where total Commander is installed.

Seems like i am to stupid to set it up properly, so i would be very happy if someone could explain in simple english which tool to use und what i have to do to make it work.
Thanks for your time.

I'm using 7.55a, Windows XP sp3, flashfolder 1.9.181

the Total Commander Integration is UN-checkable.

How can I share the favourite menu in wincmd.ini?

I think that flashfolder uses registry information for detecting presence of TC. Check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander for keys.

Hello Stevie1,
I got now windows 7 on my new notebook from company, and I want to install flashfolder, this is one of the most used tools I had recently in XP.
But it seems , that it is not working with win 7 .
I would really appreciate a hint how the situation looks like.
Thanks
Peter

Will an alternative do? I'm currently trying out Listary Portable, find it pretty useful.

Regards.

How about Alternatives?

Is there no other tool to integrate TC into the windows file dialogs?

It would be also more handy, when there would be only 2 buttons: "Left" and "Right" to get the path from TC. Thats all I need.

The author says he has a Win7 Version working and testing. But "done when its done".

AFAIK, there are three folder switch/resize utilities that integrates with TC.
FavMenu
FolderMenu
Listary

Although the first two seems that are also abandoned.
