Enhanced File Dialog released!

New Object Desktop utility

Wednesday, July 26, 2006 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Enhanced File Dialog (EFD) is a new program that is part of Stardock's award-winning Object Desktop. 

EFD extends the standard Windows file dialog to have a host of additional features and flexibility that many users have long requested Microsoft to add.  Now, users with Object Desktop can download the 1.0 version of it.

The link below has Zoomba's guided tour of this new utility.

I had no idea about this program until about a week ago, it was exactly what I was looking for.

This looks like a great little tool. I installed it via Stardock Central but I can't get it to work?? Do you have to reboot after installing it? I've opened documents in WordPad, MetaPad, EditPad Pro, Notepad and clicked on "File/Save as" but the default Windows "Save as" dialog opened. I also created a test document in each of those applications and clicked on "File/Save" and again all I get is the default Windows "Save" dialog. The "Help" button in the "Enhanced File Dialog" doesn't work so there's no help there. I'm hoping for some help from someone here.

A reboot is suggested to get the dlls and other pieces to load properly.

Zoomba...... thanks for the confirmation about the reboot. It is working fine now. However there is one anomaly I noticed re: mouseovers on the Quick Launch Bar application icons. With the exception of the program's "Options", all the others display a row of squares instead of the names of the applications. See the screenshot below.

I'm not seeing that problem on my box at the moment. What windowblind are you currently running? What cursor pack?

I'm assuming you want to know what version of WindowBlinds: 5.01g[b].011 (73x86). The skin is "CyberSkin". I get the same problem with "Aura" and "Cabal" skins. CursorXP version: 1.31.015 and the theme is "Point - blue".

Thanks for taking an interest.
