I love this click
« on: October 17, 2012, 01:06 PM »
I am trying windows 7.
Under xp I use Filebox eXtender from hyperionics and FileMenu Tools from lopesoft.
I think one of these two programs give me opportunity to click in a windows explorer window when the save, save as, open window is open and click in one of the windows explorer windows produces the selection of that windows in the save-save as-open window.

But now in windows 7 I don't get that "position".

Do you know any simple soft for doing this. I am very custom of this feature.

Best Regards

P.D. I can put screenshots if was unable to explain well what i need.

That would probably be Filebox eXtender, as I also have that installed and love the feature.

I don't know anything about getting it to work in Win 7 or what other tools can be used to have the same feature. (I am still on XP)

All I can suggest is that you check your settings and make sure you have the correct option selected.

I will revise the configuration and comments. nevertheless w7 seems to have the favorite folders management, But I have installed the 64 bits version of filebox eXtender, but fails me very often.

I will revise the configuration. I can't live without the option.

It's the same configuration. i don't understand. I need an alternative. Perhaps is the mixture between my old beloved software and the new.

no, that aspect doesnt work in Win7.

Have a look at this thread
FBx eXtender's 'Click switch file box folder feature' - can this be done in AHK?

(doesnt sound too positive for Windows 7), but just try it and let us know if it works

I am running FileBox eXtender on 64-bits Win 7 Premium, with no problems
-but I have only activated it for use in dialog boxes, not in the window title bar
(I don't remember if there were any problems with such):

does the feature Contro mentions work there Curt? (I think it might work for some apps, cause I'm caught off-guard by it occasionally, but it doesnt work in the few apps I just quickly tested).

I am using my beloved office xp, by example.

-tomos' post forced me to read the initial post more carefully than the first time... No, FileBox eXtender on 64-bits Win 7 cannot do what Contro wants them to do. I didn't know, because I never used this particular feature, on XP or Vista.

-they are the same. FbX on XP, and FbX on W7. The exact same boxes.

I am trying now the free version of Direct Folders

Flash Folders seems to have died to seven
And my dearest Filebox eXtender is not consider by some webs because is not in development any more.

Curt I think is a "rara avis" for my fault.

I am very fond to portable applications.
the other day I installed cobian backup not portable version. To my surprise in the windows 7 registry installed on the letter C: cobian backup was pointing everywhere to the letter M:
And so continues making security copies. ....

so probably I have executed Filebox eXtender in a similar way.
