3ds max - Save/Open dialog replacement

pointcache · Jul 2014

I need it to show favourites from windows explorer,
i can't use libraries anymore due to moving to cloud and libs having nasty update/refresh bugs.
I need eather for it to show favourites or to completely replace it with windows one, or any alternative not lost in 1990s

well, i would love me some custom windows-wide file-dialog with consistent size and sort-order, favorites and proper history of visited directories and all that. not sure such a thing does exist though.

i use the filebox extender/filebx addon which gives you most of that. it does tend to require the occasional reload though during long sessions, but check for yourself - http://www.hyperionics.com/files/

Sweeet! this is incredibly splendid piece of software! I tried also GitFolder, and DirectFolder and your solution is best. Yes i has minor lag issue when with overlapping windows or some other maybe leaks, but thats fine with me.
Thanks!

Places Bar Editor

It lets you customize the favorites on the left of the open / save dialog.

Hey guys thatnks for suggestions!
I stopped on FileBox, and because it has some nasty bugs occuring when it runs for long i just used windows Task Scheduler to autorestart it each hour
