I hate this dialog. Every button on it is truly retarded and it doesn't work with my microsoft mouse. I think I become more retarded by using it. HELP!

Do you want someone here on TC forum rewrite standard DLL for you? Do you think someone here has sources of MS Windows?

And how it's related to TC?

Yes! Good Idea!

Do you think someone here has sources of MS Windows?

I donno, which windows? I'll bet someone here has something. If not, I'll hook them up.

And how it's related to TC?

TC uses those crappy dialogs somehow -I forget how.
TC is all about replacing shell code with working code.
I'm surprised nobody has an answer for me; It's a common control- Thousands of people have wished for a working dialog!

No pun intended but what do you want? What's the problem with the dialog box? I'm not M$ affiliated but at least give a reason or if it's just for whining then your message is completely OT here.

Cheers.

In the German forum there is a topic about programs that replace the default Microsoft open/save windows:

see http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=892

If you don't understand German, just click on the links in the messages, they lead to English websites.

LOL, well, that's one way to see it...

I use the same technique. I do it so often that I even created two buttons for the commands cm_CopyFullNamesToClip and cm_CopyNamesToClip as well as two icons that are derived from the standard copy icon.

BTW: These commands are also very useful to copy & paste a multi-selection of file names to a document or script.

(another talking point) Yeah, but not to paste a multi-selection into the standard file dialog.

That is the standard dialog accepts multi-selections like this:
"file1" "file2" "file3"

Seems that we need 7th command to the group of 6 existing ones (which copy smth to clipboard). I already had such experience: I had quite long list of files (full names, with paths) to open, and I didn't want to invoke Open dialog several dozens times, so I edited this list in text editor to paste later in Open dialog. It would be very convenient if TC had such command. For example, I selected the following files (either after Find Files, or in Branch View):

• [face=courier]C:\dir1\subdir1\file1.cpp
  C:\dir1\subdir1\file2.cpp
  C:\dir1\subdir1\file3.cpp
  C:\dir1\subdir2\file1.cpp
  C:\dir1\subdir2\file2.cpp
  C:\dir1\subdir2\file3.cpp[/face]

and TC will place the following in clipboard:

• [face=courier]"subdir1\file1.cpp" "subdir1\file2.cpp" "subdir1\file3.cpp" "subdir2\file1.cpp" "subdir2\file2.cpp" "subdir2\file3.cpp"[/face]

so I can invoke Open dialog of some program, go to "c:\dir1" folder and paste there.

And it'd be also good if there was a way to convert current clipboard content in such a way.
