Nice! Very very nice! Is there a build for download somewhere with the patch included? I could test it on Vista.
Also, will you add the preview on/off checkbox?
Thanks for your great add, windows users will really appreciate it!

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
