NX7.5 Windows 7 file dialog
NX7.5 Windows 7 file dialog
(OP)
NX7 and 7.5 use a strange non-windows file dialog. The problem I'm having with it is that my Explorer Favorites do not show up (recent places, desktop, libraries, computer, and network are the only options).
Are there any plans to change this to a more standard behaviour?

So far every application I have used in windows 7 shows a list on the left side of the file open/save dialogs that starts with favorites, then libraries, computer, and network. NX is the only application I've used that has its own file dialog lacking this list.
I find the windows 7 favorites list to be an invaluable shortcut, and being unable to use it in NX is dissapointing.

See the uploaded image, where NX7.5 & Ultraedit have the same explorer dialog, but Excel 2010 uses a different one.
How you change though I can't answer.

Note that I used the approach described in 'Option One' rather then directly editing the register, which is 'Option Two'. There are some things to be aware of if you attempt to use this approach to edit the File dialog. To start with, this tool DOES NOT add additional items to the existing list. If you use it, you will need to define your complete list of items, which BTW are limited to a total of 5. Also, if you don't go the 'regedit' route, you will need to restart Windows for any changes to take effect.
Anyway, give it shot and see if this meets your needs or not.

Its odd that Microsoft didn't inlcude Favorites in that list themselves, but I used the group policy editor to add "C:\Users\[name]\Links" and it works well enough (requiring two clicks instead of one in the windows-7 style dialog).
Thanks John.
