1.4.7 is bad.
Only one path of TC is show, sometime even none.
7zip dialog, still no change.

I'm not sure this is QuickSwitch fault. But I recompiled it. Delete configuration and retry or open bug report with gif/video recording.

I always compile the AHK myself.
1.37.02 U64 Unicode 64-bit bin

Aall tests are made with a fresh configuration.
For me, version 1.4.4 works fine, after one restart of TC.
You should be able to identify what code changed between this version and 1.4.7

I need a video to understand exactly what the problem is. Try to change first line in Lib\TotalCommander.ahk to #Include %A_ScriptDir%\Lib\TotalCommander. Then compile Main file yourself and try again.

You can also enable "close old dialog" in the settings for 7z.

By the way, it is not necessary to delete the configuration, just go to the Menu settings. Each version can work with all previous ini configurations (or even without ini), because each version has reliable data validators. Your config may still be useful to you :D

In case the configuration has become very large, I added a hidden button: click "Reset"/"Debug" and "Nuke" button will appear.

I tested 1.4.7 again after a complete restart.
The TC tabs problem is no longer reproducible.

The close old dialog helps for 7zip, but makes the behavior of the WinRAR dialog problematic.
After selecting the target from QS menu, it immediately starts the action.
Without the close old dialog, WinRAR changes the target and waits for the user.

What still happens in 1.4.7 is the Notification and Errors.log entries
like 26.04 04:49:23 [ControlGet] 1
I can't see a certain reason.
Sometimes It happens on XYplorer start or TC exit with no logic for me.

I think you should disable this option and click "ok" in the dialog as soon as you are sure that you have chosen the right path. Different dialogs react differently to the "Enter" key that QuickSwitch sends. That's why I added this option.

βeta v1.4.8
  • Added dialog name to the "Debug" window.
  • You can export dialog info and read internal and visible dialog name in the exported file.
  • Added .ahk source code archives for all stable βeta versions. Now you can choose any version and run/compile it manually.
  • Reduced the timeout of waiting for XYplorer paths (now empty menu appears faster so you can quickly open XY again and switch back to the dialog).
  • Fixed checking for dialog buttons.

Tests for the new versions of Quick Switch show the following serious problem.
If I start a new version (any newer beta) it works
but on the next system reboot, no longer.
After a Ctrl-Q the menu is shown but none of the TC open tabs.
It doesn't help to restart QS in this case.
What helps is to also start an XYplorer.
After this, all tabs are show from TC and XY.
Even after stopping XY, the TC tabs will be shown on the following Ctrl-Q usage.
This status stays until a system reboot, after which it may work or not.
Very strange :(

It looks like a problem on the system processes side, since QuickSwitch is technically not capable of creating such problems.

Press Win+R -> shell:startup. How many QuickSwitch shortcuts are there? Which file does the shortcut point to? How many versions of QuickSwitch are visible in the Task Manager after the system is started? Try to run uncompiled QuickSwitch as an administrator / with UI access and open only TC.

QuickSwitch tested in XYplorer 27.00, TotalCmd 11.51, Dopus 13.14.6. Stable work for separate managers (I don't use win explorer so it's always closed).
