Request: Update Save Dialog for Windows 7

Post by irv »

Please update the legacy Save/Open dialog in the browser plugin to the new Windows 7 style with the sidebar.

Dear irv,

It is Opera that is controlling the look of the dialogue you have taken a shot of, and not us.
In the stand alone application you have already seen that we are using the system default "Save As" dialogue, so it would be counterintuitive and causing us more trouble to be using a separate one for the browsers.

And in your case the first screenshot is from the "Save as Web Page" dialogue and not the dialogue you would see if you use the "Print Web page", select our printing driver and await the "Save As" dialogue to open (it would be the system default once again).

Regards,
Stefan

I'm not using Opera. Those are screenshots I found on the web that are identical to what I was experiencing. I'm attaching an actual screenshot of the dialog in the standalone application of PDF X-Change Viewer; it has the same legacy style as above. Also in the attached are screenshots of the browser save as dialog and the one from the PDF Viewer plugin. The browser (Google Chrome) actually uses the newer dialog; it is the plugin that does not; i.e., the browser plugin only uses the legacy dialog. I requested the change for the plugin specifically, because that is the dialog I encounter more often, but I expect the change would be made for both the standalone application and the plugin simultaneously.

I hope this is clearer.

Thanks for your shots irv,

The first one in the first post is indeed from opera but that's not that important.

Our development team will have a look at the new shots you provided and react accordingly.

Regards,
Stefan
