Let's see if this quickfix solved the problem for you...

Please remember that the option "Allow Autoswitch" must not be activated if you want the menu to reappear!
However, this was the case in the above tests and should, in my opinion, still be possible as in version 2022-08-21_QuickSwitch-0.5dw7.
Only if I click on the menu item "Never here" or "Not now" instead of "Allow AutoSwitch" in version 2022-08-22_QuickSwitch-0.5dw8,
then the "QuickSwitch Menu" should NOT appear again, as I then no longer need it under normal circumstances.
Note:
"
[✓] Show Menu after leaving settings" in version 2022-08-22_QuickSwitch-0.5dw8 has worked many times in several further tests,
but also several times did not work ("Allow AutoSwitch" switched on). I have not yet been able to find out why it sometimes does not work.

No and yes (colour profile).

... Hex isn't Hex ...
Regarding the HEX values for colours, I also noticed differences, namely
between my colour profile and the colours displayed on this website:
Table of Color.
I currently solve this by using
FastStone Capture 'Screen Color Picker' for the colors on this website and then use
the HEX values from the 'Screen Color Picker'. Then the HEX values in QuickSwitch match the colors on the web page.

Thanks very much for the tool! It saves me a great amount of time!
Especially when
Listary still can not handle the dialog in
WPS and, would do nothing to extend its compatibility to more file-explorer tools.
By using
QuickSwitch , WPS is much more comfortable than before.
And now, I figured out a way to get its quick-switch feature to work with
Q-dir.
NOTE 1: The modification is
not perfect. Since Q-dir doesn't have some APIs to fetch more information, my mod can only quick-switch to the path in the
current tab in the
active pane in Q-dir, not like in DO or XY.
NOTE 2: To use the mod, Q-dir's "One for all" addressbar must be set to "Classic", no matter you use it or not. ↓

Attached is the ahk file modified from [QuickSwitch v0.5], with Q-dir support and menu reposition form left to right. ↓
The lines of code related were in:
line 568-587
line 983-987
line 672
P.S. If QuickSwitch can handle not only save/open dialog, but like Listary, also folder-tree location dialog, which is common when some software ask ask you to select a folder for the files to install/extract/dump, that will be perfect.
===Edited 2022-08-24===
The folder-tree dialog request had been posted by
wontell , please neglect my P.S..
I would like to have
a list of recent opened path in the menu, therefore I could still save/open files in some closed-just-some-minutes-ago folder without reopening it. Then I found
DaWolfi has already done it.
===Edited 2022-08-26===
Include a necessary config in Q-dir to use with my modification.

Could you please make it possible for the
digits 1 to 9, inclusive, to ALWAYS automatically execute ENTER after pressing the digit?
Basically, it only affects number
1 at the moment.
- 2022-08-24_QuickSwitch-0.5dw8_1 ENTER automatically.png (38.88 KiB) Viewed 124326 times
The image shows the paths of 2 Total Commander instances (x86, x64) - left/right window respectively.
For example, if these paths exist
Code: Select all
1 Path\to\...
10 Path\to\...
11 Path\to\...
then CURRENTLY after pressing the digit 1 - in this case - MANUAL <ENTER> must be pressed (because there are also options 10 and 11).
Reason:
99.99% of the time I need the
first four entries (different paths!).
Note:
If you use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the number 10 or 11, for example, you must continue to press ENTER
or simply click on one of these lines with the mouse.

This may apply to your case, but not to mine (see picture above).
I am also aware that I could control the scenario.
Theoretically, it is possible to enter the value 10 in the field "MRU folder entries (0-10)".
Then, at the latest, the constellation 1, 10 occurs.

QuickSwitch Settings
Since the newly added options are so far the only ones for which there are no shortcuts (underscores) yet,
I would like to suggest the following:
Code: Select all
Alt+N, N No folder numbering
Alt+U, U Folder numbers with shortcuts 1-0 (10)
The following should then be possible analogous to the other shortcuts in the "QuickSwitch Settings" menu:
1. QuickSwitch Settings (Ctrl+Q, S)
1.1 Press a letter (without ALT key)
- OR -
1.2 Press ALT+letter
Thanks!

Hi,
I'd like to inform you that QuickSwitch_2022-09-04_v0.5dw9a works differently than QuickSwitch_2022-04-03_v05.
- Start Total Commander (x64) 10.51
- Press F1 - Help
- Click on Tab "Suchen" (="Search")
- Enter searchtext: ExecUseContextMenu=
- Double-click [multiple times] on button "Themenliste" (="List of topics")
- The 'QuickSwitch Menu' appears and the menu item "Never here" is displayed automatically
- AND -
- Menu item "AutoSwitch exception" is missing.
- This behaviour does not occur in QuickSwitch_2022-04-03_v05.
- If I switch off these options, the error does not occur:
- Always open Menu
- Show Menu after leaving settings
- If I switch on one of the two aforementioned options, this behaviour occurs.

The version from the last post includes the option to enable the option you mentioned, but it does not detect other open folders (only the system one in my case, c). This is the problem.

Hey, could there be an option to specify which instance to suggest? I currently run multiple instances of XYplorer located in different places (ie. one in drive C, other in drive D, so on) but when I use QuickSwitch I only use the main C instance to do the switch so I would like the other instances to not be suggested as they make it cumbersome to pick the correct path adding unnecessary items to the list. In the same vein, could we also get an option to ignore the second panel when using XYplorer? Essentially I'm looking for a set of options to get a exact functionality the same as Listary's: Ctrl+Q auto switch to the last focused path in the last focused file manager.
Thank you, this tool is great!

Sorry, but having the path of both panels is one of the advantages of Quick Switch
using Total Commander and XYplorer in 2 pane mode.
I use 2 pane file managers to make use of them and not to ignore it.
Its one of the drawbacks of Listary that I have to go into the file manager
and make the other panel activ to get it available in the Open/Save dialog.
Re: QuickSwitch
Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:38 pm

The order the file managers appear in the list is by most recently used. That means if you used XYplorer from C: after you used XYPplorer from D:, The entries from from C: will be in the list first (also: active panel above inactive panel.
So if you don't actively use XYplorer from D:,it is likely that the first 2 XYplorer entries (active + passive pane) are the ones you are looking for.
I will think about it, but how should QuickSwitch know which filemanager(s) to exclude from the list and which one to include?
Or do you mean something like an "ignore-list", like ignore=D:\path to\XYplorer.exe;X:\path\totalcommander.exe;Y:\somewhere\dopus.exe?

Thanks.
I want to stress that, in fact, i am getting only warning, not errors.
`This local variable has the same name as a global variable` [Mentioning _ctrlHandle, ActivecontrolList, id, this_id]
Moreover, the script doesn't work when running in this way [include] or running straight the downloaded ahk script. This is even when i don't have #warn on. The executable runs without warnings.
Can you tell why this is?

No such errors here with the source from QuickSwitch-0.5dw9a.zip
Using Compile script or Compile script GUI from the actual 2.0 line.

Did some test and I just realized that if a `#warn` command appears in ANY place in the script, the whole script will regard it. My thought was it would only be for code that follows.
There was a `#warn` command in some other included file, which caused this. sorry for the mess. =|
Problem on Windows 7

[*]Windows 7 and up are supported.
Tried QuickSwitch on my Windows 7 SP1 x64. It correctly detects paths of Explorer, XYplorer and Total Commander opened windows, but it doesn't switch dialog to the path selected. I tried in safe mode and also on clean system and it still does not work for me on Windows 7. However it works perfectly on Windows 10. Can this be fixed somehow?
I attach the list of ahk recently executed lines and debug info for the "Save" dialog.

Thanks for the logs, yuyu. Will have a closer look at it.
(I might approach you with some follow up questions via PM)
for now:
Check if the involved applications are running under the same credentials (the Username and Elevated columns in Task Manager)

Thanks for your reply.
explorer.exe and Autohotkey.exe and programs calling the dialog are running from my user account, no Administrator privs.

Maybe this information can be useful.
I did some investigations and it appears that target is switched in this dialog type:
- good dialog.PNG (30.89 KiB) Viewed 112064 times
and is never switched in such dialogs:
- bad gialog.PNG (12.65 KiB) Viewed 112064 times
I attach debug info for these two dialog types.

I can help with the icon! I told you!
You should have told me 46 aspirins ago!!!
But yes, if you can: please!
I don't have the tools, the knowledge and most important: the patience to get this done.
As long as it is still a stylized Q / rotated power-switch I'm good [1]. And that the leg of the Q starts in the center of the circle.
I don't expect the "glow" [2] in the power button to be captured in a small icon.
[1] Technically it is a stand-by switch, but who cares; it is still a Q (uick) SWITCH logo...
[2] Better visible here:

I see you were looking for an icon. I just noticed Quicksearch is still using the AHK default icon for desktop and system tray, so I just designed a quick amiga-based text icon. I don't know if this is something you'd like to update the main file, so the desktop and system tray icon display the correct icon for Quickswitch. The HQ PNG (1080P) file and two ico files are attached which ought to include scaled icons from 16 to 256.

What should a video explain ?
QuickSwitch allows switching to open dirs in your file manager
Inside of standard Open / Save dialogs of applications.
Example:
You try to open a file in your Editor.
The Open dialog is shown.
You press the QuickSwitch hotkey and it shows you the open dirs in your file manager.
You select an entry from it and the Open dialog switches to this dir.

Here is a picture with a "Save" dialog and explanations.

One of the advantages is that you can, for example, select paths as storage locations that you have recently used in a file manager,
which do NOT correspond to the current paths that are currently active in a 2-window file manager.

I forgot to mention the most important advantage:
When you are in an "Open"- or "Save"-dialog, it is usually NOT necessary
to work your way through a deeply branched directory structure to get to the desired directory,
if the directory already exists in the "QuickSwitch Menu" - (call up with Ctrl+Q).
If the desired directory does NOT exist there, you can still use ALT+TAB to switch to the file manager, e.g. Total Commander
and change to the directory or call up the favorites = Directory hotlist (Ctrl+D) and select the directory and then switch back
to the installation window with ALT+TAB. The path (target directory) is then automatically adjusted there.
Another note on use:
During a program installation, the target directory is suggested.
After clicking on the "Browse ..." button, for example, the "Search folder" window appears
in which you could reach the desired directory after switching through the directory structure several times.
Pressing Ctrl+Q at this point makes it easier to select the desired directory.
(I am mentioning this example because in the past I mistakenly tried to press Ctrl+Q in the "suggested target directory" window
and this did NOT work).

In DW6, the numbers in the menu don't function for me at all, neither with Alt nor without it. Personally, I would opt to remove the numbering and stick with version DW5, which functions perfectly fine for me.
Here the numbers work but of course only from 1-9
No need to remove any code, as you can switch off the numbering in the options.

I guess it means QuickSwitch-0.5dw6

But we are already on version QuickSwitch-0.5dw9, which works fine for me.
