QB64 GUI Dialogs Question - Ultraman - 06-21-2023

The open dialog works great. It pops open the expected native Windows open dialog. The "Save As" button still opens the old dialog. Is this intentional? I'd assume not, since that would be some inconsistency. I'm on Windows 11 64 bit, by the way. Haven't tried it on Linux yet to confirm if it does it there as well.

Forgot to mention I am running the latest release.

What do you mean exactly with "old dialogue"? So:

KP,

I think he was referring to last item on IDE Options Menu.

I think I leave it unbulleted so I can set the path in Properties of my Shortcut to Open in my QB64 Files folder and also use the "old dialog" as you show.

This is happening to me also on Manjaro Linux KDE. Also driving me nuts that changing the last option of "Tools" menu marks the file as modified.

UPDATE: I went to install "yad" since either that or "zenity" is needed on that distro to show fancy dialogs, but no change. With "Tools/Show GUI Dialogs" enabled the open file dialog appears just fine but the "save as" one has gone AWOL.

Oh I see, yeah the "Old Dialog" still comes up when Option is bulleted!  A bug is confirmed!

At KP, this is what New Dialog looks like (from a Open Dialog)
   

It uses OS Dialogs for Open and Save AS instead of old QB dialog..

Not neccessarily a Bug, rather an ommission (yet).

AFAIK back when @a740g first implemented the new dialog functions into QB64pe, @SMcNeill was very quick on implementing the "Open Dialog" and wanted to see how people accept that before doing the "Save Dialog" and all others. The careful reader knows, that Steve had to deal with his cardiological health issues that days and went to the hospital for a surgery, so I guess it simply fell into oblivion to finish all the dialogs.
