I used FileBox Extender for a couple of years. Had a problem. Can't remember what.
Switched to Folder Guide. Works for me.

But "a terrific program" it is  :up:
I just prefer PS Hot Folders  ;)

I agree that FileBox Extender is still the best. However I must say that -- although I regularly try and use FBE's, DF's, Dopus' as well as Windows' recent folder function -- it's only with a lot of luck when I actually seem to be able to go to the respective recent folder I'm looking for. Anyway, I don't use the recent folders and favourites function that often.

However I was wondering, is there ANY other tool at all that has the fantastic feature of FBE where you open a file open/save dialog, then click on an explorer (or Dopus) window, and the file open/save dialog is instantly switched to the same directory which that Explorer window is currently pointing to? This is THE key feature of FBE I must be using a hundred times a day.

Cheers David.P

Personally, I think Direct Folders is the better program.  But I like Filebox Extender as well.  That is, I don't mean to say it's a bad program.  It's great also, probably my second choice.  That directory synching thing is very cool, David.P!  I didn't know about that.

Still, DF is better overall because of a few specific things.  I've written a review about it on my website (it's actually hosted by DC):

and, of course there's the big review here from a while back:
