Enhanced Dialog Beta

Object Desktop starts 2005 with a bang!

Thursday, January 13, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

The first beta of Enhanced Dialogs is now available for Object Desktop users.  Enhanced File Dialogs seamlessly hook in to replace the standard Windows file dialogs. Now users can control which icons show up on the left, always have resizable dialogs, and they actually remember what view you last used (details, icons, etc.).

If you don't already have Object Desktop, definitely look at getting it.  It's a must-have utility suite for enhancing your Windows experience. www.objectdesktop.com.

Well, I installed it and then had to uninstall it. MS Word (Office 2003) wouldn't open up when I had it installed. Plus, the initial loading of my machine locked up. Looks great! I'll just wait for the next beta release

I love it! Now if we could just get the "full-row-selection" feature for Windows Explorer...

Sounds great, but I installed it and don't see any changes at all.
Some screenshots would be nice so people could see what it's suppose to look like

Well I'm just thick. I see no evidence of anything - even with notepad. I'm not even sure where to look.

Read the history file accessable from SDC.

Requires Win2K or XP. Requires reboot after installing. Some apps, such as Microsoft Office apps are not modified by ED.

I know I'm late in getting back to this, but I do have Show Beta Releases checked and The is no sign of it in the listings under Object Desktop or anything else. What else might be the problem? Thanks Essencay

Looks good. But it doesn't work from what I can tell. I get the box to set it up like in the screen shots but nothing happens.

Contact support They'll walk you through it. Be sure to document everything you can. It will help speed up the process of getting it taken care of. Do you have all the updates current on your system, if not...be sure and do so, and be sure to get current version of Java...I've had several issues there, and always fixed when I updated. Remember, MS does NOT support VM so you might consider going to the source.

Works great here and a welcome surprise in the OD family. Those who are having trouble reboot. I ran the program first and then rebooted. I'm not sure if that is required, but it is working here.

I love the feature to have it set it to show, for example, Thumbnails all the time.

I am having the same problem as Suriken. I have tried uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling but nothing helps.

If you do not own an OD Subscription you may do something similar with "Tweak UI for Windows XP" (start it and select "Common Dialogs"). I dont know if this works with Win2k too.

It changed my common dialogue settings that I had made in TweakUI, and since I wanted those settings, I went ahead and uninstalled, and rebooted as instructed. Everything ran s..l..o..w afterward. Another reboot and everything seems back to normal. I think I'll wait until this gets a little more development.
