Hi All,
I'm happy to announce, after all this time, that my native file dialogs for windows are now ready. I cannot believe how long it's taken to get them right, but they're working properly now - without needing any extra dependencies in the end.
With the exception of the preview pane, the end result looks pretty unremarkable, but then that's the point of a native dialog! - I certainly wouldn't have believed the lengths it would be necessary to go to implement this. I might not have embarked on the project if I'd know, but it's done now.
I guess it's too late to add this patch to the .46 release, but my NativeWin32FileDialogs branch is ready to be merged at an appropriate time. Take a look, if you're interested, or take a look at the attached screenshot.
The only reason we might want to merge before .46 is that the patch will at the very least close these three bugs.
#167795 "Windows fails to enforce Security Policies for drives access" #166158 "WIndows Shortcuts not visible in file dialogs" #166814 "Win32: Open/Save dlgs cannot cope with multi-monitor setups"
Thanks Joel
