Question

I am not sure if this is a problem of understanding or a bug in itself? In the issue of "BandiZip file dialog support", you mentioned (as shown in Figure 1),
“
Added "Close old dialog" option in "Menu settings", because BandiZip dialog immediately closes after selection.
”

I'm not sure if it refers to the option in Figure 2? This confuses me because literally, "Close old dialog after selecting path", which makes me think that the effect it should achieve is that after using ctrl+q to list the menu, select the path, and the menu disappears, instead of still showing the menu after selecting the path like when this option is not checked.

However, in reality, when I check this option, it has the effect of leaving me with no way to choose a path, because it defaults to the first path I selected previously, unless I clear the .ini configuration file of this program and reset it.

And in daily use, you will still encounter some programs that cannot call QuickSwitch (just like when bandizip was not supported before). I know I am a bit greedy, but I hope you can support more programs in the future.

I haven't been able to reproduce the previous error log. If I encounter it again, I will file an issue.

    This option affects file dialogs (in particular BandiZip) rather than menus. QuickSwitch sends the Enter key to change the path. Dialogs that are not like this one differ in behavior

    They close instantly after changing the path (after Enter). To avoid this, an option has been added: by turning it off you will be able to change the selection in the Menu and manually press the “OK” button in the dialog.

    Open new feature request with this apps names and attach a screenshots of their file dialogs like above.

    OK, OK, I'll do what you expect. I just feel guilty about fitting you into apps you'll probably never use.

    I use a lot of apps. If QuickSwitch doesn't appear in their file dialogs, this is a problem, so I want to test it.

    Alright, your spirit is truly admirable. As you expected, I have mentioned it in another issue.
