I've just installed it on win 7/64bit and restarted my machine- and I have no effect.
None in any windows explorer window, none in any open/save as dialog and nowhere else.
:(

Hello Tim.
Thank you for the new version FlashFolder.
I read your answer to Konstantin Zhukov about "browse for folder" dialogs on the second page.
Such dialogues like the old WinAmp are rare, but when they are met then you cursed them and you can feel the all futility of existence. :)
For example, Outlook Express opens such dialogue too, when you need to "Save Attachments".
Could you add their support in FlashFolder?
There is a small program for testing: Test (http://directmirror.com/z8a0gare4151/Test.zip).
Such dialogue appears when you press button "Browse for folder dialog".
It would be just great if when it is opened one of list "Global history", "Favorite folders", "Curent Open folders" we could filter them, i.e. when you enter symbols then in the list remained only those rows which contain typed symbols or cursor move to the first such row.
For example, one of list contains rows:
C:\Temp
Y:\Install\Test
C:\Users\Public\
D:\My Documents\html 09.13\Test\save
if we type "test" list will contain:
Y:\Install\Test
D:\My Documents\html 09.13\Test\save
It would be just great too, if we'll have ability to delete some rows from list.
Thanks in advance

I have no plans to add any new features to FlashFolder. The versions that I made available here were just based on the code that was already written by zett42.

I have a problem: after installing Windows 7 64 bit - Windows does not remember in save/open windows viev files - always is "medium icons". I have so on two computers.

Good news! After a first superficial test, FlashFolder_1_11_r274_beta_x64.msi seems to work on Windows 10 Pro x64. :-D
Many thanks Tim De Baets and of course many thanks zett42!

I had the same problem as Judykator. When disabling "remember view mode", the program makes every folder stick with a single view mode (the last that was used when "remember view mode" was enabled).
andreacc: I first thought that I included this patch in my builds, but seeing now that I made the changes (and uploaded the patch) after my builds were made, this probably isn't the case.
I think that I initially had the plan to wait until my patch had been merged into trunk before making new builds off of that. But that merging obviously isn't going to happen anymore (looking at zett42 here). I'll create and upload new builds with the patch included as soon as I find some time.
Ideally, someone should fork this unique project on GitHub so that pull requests could be submitted and development could continue. I would do it myself, if I weren't so damn busy...

Hi guys,
I have precisely the same problem as Judykator and adreacc and I cannot find any build with the patch included. Is it up already? Thanks a lot!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I haven't got round to creating a new MSI build yet - it's on my list of things to do (eventually).
But in the meantime, I have uploaded a .zip file with new versions of FlashFolder's DLL files with the patch included. Replacing the old versions of these files in C:\Program Files\FlashFolder with the newer versions should do the trick.
Thanks a lot, Tim.
After three days of extensive testing, I can cofirm it is working like a charm.
Aplying the patch is sort of problematic though, needing to manualy shut down the service to be able to overwrite both ddls, but it is worth it.
Thanks a lot again! Awesome work!

I'm very thankful for the patch! But how come the huge size increase in the patched file? Original fflib6439_64.dll is 0.7 MB, the patched dll is 3.3 MB. One can't be too careful these days, with so much viruses flotating around.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
That's just because the patched DLL also includes debugging symbols, while the original DLL doesn't have these. I didn't have the time to compile the DLL again without symbols, so I uploaded the version that was already present on my system. If you're still suspicious you can always scan the file with VirusTotal.

Hello! Forgive me for the English by Google. The question is - are used to configure the register (zett42 \ FlashFolder). Now I can not find where the program (r274_beta) stores its settings and how to make them backup. Tell me please. Thank you.

Mirych: FlashFolder still stores its settings in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\zett42\FlashFolder registry key. I don't think that this has changed compared to previous versions.

@findusdwarf
Did you tried official links or of Tim De Baets?
Official does not work on windows 7.
Use those links
- 32-bit install: http://users.skynet.be/tim.debaets/software/FlashFolder_1_11_r274_beta_x86.msi
- 64-bit install: http://users.skynet.be/tim.debaets/software/FlashFolder_1_11_r274_beta_x64.msi
Thanks for these links. Trying that under Windows 8 64-bit and seems to work!

Hi Aleh,
I have no plans to add any new features to FlashFolder. The versions that I made available here were just based on the code that was already written by zett42.
Hello Tim.
It's a very pity! :(
I have a problem: after installing Windows 7 64 bit - Windows does not remember in save/open windows viev files - always is "medium icons". I have so on two computers.
Judykator: which version of FlashFolder do you have installed? Is the Remember view mode setting enabled in FlashFolder options?
Good news! After a first superficial test, FlashFolder_1_11_r274_beta_x64.msi seems to work on Windows 10 Pro x64. :-D
Many thanks Tim De Baets and of course many thanks zett42!
Andreas: Thanks for trying it out on Windows 10 and for reporting back :)
I had the same problem as Judykator. When disabling "remember view mode", the program makes every folder stick with a single view mode (the last that was used when "remember view mode" was enabled).
It was solved after I inserted the patch http://sourceforge.net/p/flashfolder/patches/1/ in the code and recompiled the software.
My OS is Windows 7 x64.
andreacc: I first thought that I included this patch in my builds, but seeing now that I made the changes (and uploaded the patch) after my builds were made, this probably isn't the case.

Hey Tim! Fantastic, your patch works here too! Many many thanks for keeping this project alive!
I'm very thankful for the patch! But how come the huge size increase in the patched file? Original fflib6439_64.dll is 0.7 MB, the patched dll is 3.3 MB. One can't be too careful these days, with so much viruses flotating around.

I didn't have the time to compile the DLL again without symbols, so I uploaded the version that was already present on my system. If you're still suspicious you can always scan the file with VirusTotal.
Thanks for the reasonable explanation, I'm quite reassured now.
I just installed FlashFolder on a 2008 R2 server, and it seems to be working great even with Citrix connections. :)
nvm, the links started to work..
