Write a replacement for the dialog in wndows common controls
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!

Yes! Good Idea!Do you want someone here on TC forum rewrite standard DLL for you?
I donno, which windows? I'll bet someone here has something. If not, I'll hook them up.Do you think someone here has sources of MS Windows?
TC uses those crappy dialogs somehow -I forget how.And how it's related to TC?
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!
In the German forum there is a topic about programs that replace the default Microsoft open/save windows:

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.

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):Spaghettificus wrote: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"
- [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]
- [face=courier]"subdir1\file1.cpp" "subdir1\file2.cpp" "subdir1\file3.cpp" "subdir2\file1.cpp" "subdir2\file2.cpp" "subdir2\file3.cpp"[/face]
And it'd be also good if there was a way to convert current clipboard content in such a way.
