Can TC replace "File Open" windows?

Post by *mgroen »

Hi,
I have following question:
Is TC able to replace the default Windows "File open/selection" window (don't know the correct name of this).
Best described by a scenario:

I use Google Chrome / Gmail to write email;
In Google Chrome, while composing an email on gmail.com, I click on Attachment icon.
Default Windows file open / selection window is appearing.

Question: Is TC able to replace default Windows Open/selection window with a TC listner?

I have browsed through TC settings but couldn't find a setting for that, maybe I have overlooked it?

As I recently wrote in a German thread: No, these so-called Common Dialogs (Open, Save, Save As etc) are a feature of the Shell that also shows the desktop, the taskbar and so on. There is no way to replace these, unless you replace the whole shell.

You can only make your life easier by changing the current directory of these common dialogs to the one active in TC by using some kind of scripts (e.g. AutoHotkey, AutoIT) or third-party programs (e.g. Listary, FlashFolder).
