1. Win32Lib: Uhh. I dont think that goes there.
i dont know why noone has said anything yet(maybe I'm just wrong), but
it would seem like the "Open as read-only" CheckBox shouldn't be in the
"Save As" dialog.
Am I wrong?
Thnaks,

Hmmm...good point. I guess I can fix that one.

I can't see this. Whenever I try a Save As dialog, the read-only checkbox is
not visible. Can you send me some code that demonstrates the problem?

But, if you *can* change things in that area, I would REALLY like a
"hotkey" to change directory up a level -;) Even just a tabstop on the
button would make me smile. Switching between list and details would
be nice too. (ok, I'm on about Open, not Save As)
It amazes me just how much I hate I cannot do that one simple thing.

The dialog is built-in to Windows and I can't change it easily, but I'll
have a look. In the meantime Press Alt-I, Right-Arrow then Left or Right to
navigate to the directory to need.

I guess you are using the version of Euphoria 2.3 that makes Windows think
you are running the old Windows 3.1. There is a 'fix' for this in the
archives to change it to the newer Windows 4 and above. The newer Windows
automatically hide this readonly box. In the meantime, you might like to try
an add some dialog flags to the call...
filename = getSaveFileName(
TheWindow,
"MyFile.txt",
{ "Dialog Flags", {OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, OFN_HIDEREADONLY}
"Text File", "*.TXT",
"All Files", "*.*"
}
)

7. Re: Win32Lib: Uhh. I dont think that goes there.
A line has disappeared from the buildDefaultOfn function.
55.1 & 57.1 (when it was in win32lib.ew) have this:
-- set up default flags.
flags =3D or_all( {
exflags, -- from caller
OFN_EXPLORER, -- looks like windows explorer
OFN_HIDEREADONLY, -- hide the read-only checkbox
OFN_LONGNAMES, -- use long filenames
OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST} ) -- path must exist
58.9 (the function is now in winfile.ew) has this:
flags =3D clib:or_all( {
exflags, -- from caller
OFN_EXPLORER, -- looks like windows explorer
OFN_LONGNAMES, -- use long filenames
OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST} ) -- path must exist
It was probably removed for open but ought to go back for save?

I've already done that now for the next release.
