Styrka som är öppen,/räddningdialoger till bruk specificerar funktionsläge i Windows XP
Allmänningen öppna/räddningdialoger är så förhärska i Windows applikationer som varje annoyancen avslutar lite upp att köra oss som är galna efter en stund. Frustrera tinget för mig är att du inte kan den din räddningen beskåda funktionsläge, så varje tid som jag måste att koppla det som är tillbaka, specificerar funktionsläge.
Svaret till vårt besvärar är en små nytto- namngav OpenWide som sitter i systemmagasinet och tvingar dessa ostyriga dialoger för att uppföra.
Barkassen applikationen, når de har installerat den och du bör se en snarlik ful ny symbol visas i ditt systemmagasin. (Du kan inaktivera symbolen i den inställande panelens preferensfliken).
I placeringen dela upp dig kan uppsättningen placera på avskärma, såväl som storleksanpassa av dialogen, som jag finner extremt användbart.
Du ska önskar antagligen att ändra det dropdown för ”initialt skrivar matar in fokuserar på” från standarden av arkivet för att spara - namnge, så att du kan snabbt skriva i en spara - namnger.
Ska de drop-down för understödja l5At dig väljer ett särskilt funktionsläge,… som du kunde tvinga det alltid för att fungera i tumnagelfunktionsläge, om du lutades ned så.
Att klicka ”testar ströminställningar” knäppas ska show dig att specificerar funktionsläge är utvalt.
Notera: Detta spetsen ska endast arbete för Windows XP användare som denna nytto- fungerar inte på den Windows utsikten.
Behaga noterar att några applikationer inte använder allmänningdialogerna och bygger i stället deras eget. Detta ska inte arbete för de.

For what it’s worth, I’m far more likely to review and then perform some potentially dangerous registry editing / group policy editing / other settings editing / etc, than to constantly run random utilities one at a time which perform one small function. Just my two cents. I love this blog and read it regularly, but it does seem like a lot of the solutions here are in the form of constantly running executables. Perhaps that can’t be avoided; I just can’t help but think many of them are in this form for simplicity’s sake (which is true! and quite valuable) but could use an “advanced” tutorial in how to actually change things ourselves. Again, thanks for all the great info; just a mild suggestion!

Ben,
I’d prefer registry edits as well… in this case I don’t believe there is a registry setting that works (although I could be wrong)
It’s a pretty cool function, though. I basically use details mode exclusively (with occasional switch to thumbnails mode and back), so I would love to have open/save dialogs use details mode. I’ll have to think about using this one
Thanks again for the tip.

If you are ever able to find a registry hack for this be sure and let me know!
If you open lets say word, then click save as. Select detailed view. Then and this seems to be the key part hold down “Ctrl” while clicking on the “X” to close the save dialog windows it seems to hold the details view. It works for me this way in M$ office products.
God bless you, nidrog! Your suggestion works. Not only that, you can reorganize your fields display and that is saved too.
I like to know if it’s possible to to turn the application icons off (or just use a generic icon) in List and Detail view (of Open/Save). It may be a FireFox problem (2.0.0.11), but if I Save to Disk a file on the ‘net, and save into an already pretty crowded Downloads directory and then have to scroll through to see if it exists already, it takes an eternity as the system has to load all the icons for all those files. FF appears to be using the native XP (SP2) dialog boxes (rather than it’s own). I’ve bumped up MaxIconCache in the registry to 2000 which helped alot on the desktop and start menu … but not on Open/Save.
Sorry … guess the above is a forum question though the author of OpenWide may know something about it and could be considered related …
This trick doesn’t work in my WinXP pro. Are there any other choice for this purpose?
If I am correctly understanding the issue this tool addresses…which I battled with for some time too…there is a way to do this in simple windows (at least XP Pro SP2 with current updates). If you want to set set the same look for all files on your C: drive say…Open windows exploder top level C drive folder. Make it look exactly as you wish…(e.g I like list view w/ details of my choice) once done…
Tools->Folder Options->View->”Apply to All Folders” button and every folder from C: on down will now assume this profile forever and ever.

Thanks…………..
I had been wrestling with this for way too long.
Awesome Pgm
In files that just open and do not save, the trick does not work (It could be that I am using XP pro). Open wide does allow you to open in details mode, but always opens sorting by size. I cannot seem to find a way to always list them by date or name. If someone knows how to do this, that would be great. Open wide does help. The folder options trick only works when exploring through explorer but not when opening files with other programs.
Hi there — I’m the author of OpenWIde, it’s been rather neglected over the years, but it is now released as open source under the GPL2 licence. For all those who are interested in developing it further, see http://repo.or.cz/w/openwide.git

I do like your OpenWide. But I don’t like to have the software running all the time when my PC is on. It takes about 4K RAM vs. its being only 26K of the .exe file. Is there any way to change the MS commom dialog .dll or some other file(s) to get this solved? I used a small software to do this but can not find it any more whether in my PC or on the line.
OpenWide not always work, especially non-english os.
So I am using DirectFolders now.
ooh, the ctrl suggestions seems to work1!!!!!!!
OMG! Thanks!
Nidrog’s suggestion works!!! You can adjust the size of the box, the view, and EVEN THE ORDER LISTED IN!!! (such as most recently modified first). This is AMAZING!! Windows isn’t necessarily annoying – MICROSOFT IS for not making it usable.
Thank you!!!
Nidrog’s suggestion does NOT work!
