Filesystem Dialogs 2.1.3.5279

Filesystem Dialogs 2.1.3.5279 functions as an enhanced file and folder selector component for the Win32 platform. It is call compatible with comdlg32.dll. It is also an Open File/Save File/Folder selector replacement. It's purpose is to provide the most powerful user-friendly file and folder selection options and file managament tools for the session.

Major Features:

1. All window/column position/size & sorting settings are saved for every application and/or the user can choose to always use his/her favorite dialog settings
2. Has a very hiqh quality thumbnail mode (that supports much more formats then the default Windows dialog, supports EXIF thumbnails and displays audio files too Taged with ID3v2 and containing a SESC frame)
3. Drag&Drop for files/folders (you can drop files from Windows explorer onto the window too)
4. If bass.dll is found initialized in the process space thumbnails are generated from all audio files (all file formats that BASS actually supports, or there is plugin loaded for BASS for the particular format - see http://www.un4seen.com/bass.html for details) quite an option to BASS using applications
5. FreeImage.dll is supported also (adds many more formats)
6. Can give back multiple files from different folders (that comdlg32.dll's can't) for example when loading multiple recent documents (not available with comdlg32.dll interface)
7. Has a recent document list on a per-application basis (one of my favorite features - a real implementation of the Windows idea) available with one click: click the button above the drives
8. You can use all your existing comdlg32.dll calls, just call the FilesystemDialogs_GetOpenFileNameA-W() and FilesystemDialogs_GetSaveFileNameA-W() respectively
9. Implements by far the best folder selector
10. Has option to cache the thumbnails on a per folder basis
11. Automatically decodes URL encoded filanames and underscores (eg.: "Man%20on%20the_Mars.jpg" -> "Man on the Mars.jpg") and false characters
12. And the most important: Has a customizable favorite folders and recent folder list on the left, which serves you with one easy click always!
13. File viewer (previewer) pictures/images & web browser for the rest of the files (a secondary display mode - for dual display setups)
14. Around 30MB in process space
15. Speed: The file dialogs appear for the first time in 1 to 2 seconds and ~600ms on consecutive calls on a 1.5GHz system + list update
16. Option to call the dialogs not modally, but like an ordinary form (ideal for multi monitor applications and this is the prefered way also)
17. Option to integrate the dialog into a parent handle (powerfull feature) and trigger an event on file selection
18. Full unicode file name support
