I used to be able to have a folder open in Windows File Explorer, then switch to the File Dialog window and it’d automatically jump to the folder I have open in Windows File Explorer. Since the most recent update, this no longer works.
Did it turn off a setting somewhere? How can I turn this feature on again?
It still works for me, but it’s unreliable. I frequently have to switch back and forth between the file dialog and the file listing for Quick Switch to activate.
EDIT: I neglected to mention I use Directory Opus.
I use the integration with Total Commander.
In this case is works fine and reliable in any Open file dialogs.
Windows 11 Home Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.9168)
Everything 1.5.0.1422b (x64), Everything Toolbar 3.2.0
Total Commander 11.58 x64 / x86
Listary Pro 7.0.0.9 beta
It also stopped working for me recently, and only with File Explorer. Quick Switch to XYplorer’s last tab works perfectly, so it must be a File Explorer issue (another reason to use an alternative explorer, but still, it should work with it!)
@hsandt @gaylie Before switching back to the file dialog, click an empty spot in the File Explorer file list first (clicking the address bar or a tab doesn’t count). Or press Ctrl+G in the dialog to jump to the folder that’s open in File Explorer. If you’re still on 7.0, update to 7.1.0.47 and close and reopen the File Explorer window once:
