[edit] What Enhanced File Dialog Does

Enhanced File Dialog Places menu.

Enhanced File Dialog is a program to customize and enhance those file dialogs when opening or saving files. Ever wanted to add more folders to the My Places area? With this program you can do just that. It also adds quick launch buttons and improves the standard view in the dialog window.

[edit] How to Use Enhanced File Dialog

[edit] The Basics

Install the program and then access the settings form your All Programs/Object Desktop/Enhanced File Dialog menu. You'll find that the program has many options that you can use to customize your file dialogs. You can change the My Places sidebar to use large or small icons, show a dropdown of recently opened files and folders, and change the view for displaying files.

In the Places Bar options you can add and remove locations to the sidebar. Just click on Browse to add your new location and you can change the order of the list.

Not only can you add more locations to the Places sidebar, you can decide which applications will be forced to use the enhanced dialogs, but you can also set which programs will be excluded. You can also add applications you wish to be launched to the Quick Launch toolbar.
