Fixed Menu annoyances

Thanks to the new Menu appearance mechanism by @FuPeiJiang, we were able to fix some annoyances:

  • The empty AutoHotkey window may appear after the Menu appears.
  • The Menu may disappear after frequently selecting multiple items in a short period of time.
  • The Menu activation hotkey would stop working and the file dialog would become inactive after activating BlackList.
  • The Menu might not close and stay above all windows after pressing Esc or clicking anywhere (#88, #94).

Caution

If another window is "above all windows" (e.g. if you are using AltSnap, AltDrag, or DeskPins), it will be activated instead of the file dialog after closing the Menu (e.g. after Esc or click on the file dialog)! In other words, you will have to shift the focus to the file dialog manually.

Why this behavior?

This behavior actually allows you to Alt-Tab between windows while the file dialog is open and execute AutoSwitch immediately after switching back to the dialog. It also QuickSwitch to update the paths in the Menu after quickly switching between the file dialog and any file manager.

Otherwise, QuickSwitch will need to enforce file dialog activation after closing the Menu due to the new appearance mechanism (that fixes critical issues), which causes unpleasant consequences when trying to close the menu by clicking on another window, after Alt-Tab, and other ways to switch the focus to another window...

Please share your feedback about QuickSwitch behavior.

Localization

Huge thank you @xsnowfoxcode for Simplified Chinese localization. You can test new UI with localized options. We will add full localization in future releases.

Fixed

  • Special characters in paths from Explorer were displayed incorrectly (#149).
  • Special paths from Explorer like "This PC" may cause "Catastrophic failure" (#185)
  • Paths from XYplorer were not displayed if exactly one tab was open in XYplorer.
  • The active Directory Opus tab was incorrect if it's path was contained in the paths of other tabs.
  • The active Total Commander tab was incorrect after enabling Settings > Theme > (show) locked tabs checkbox.
  • Total Commander console may return wrong path to the wincmd.ini.
  • File dialog may close after switching the path.
  • Copied paths may have been truncated incorrectly.
  • An error about (any) incorrect directory that was entered in the settings appeared every time the program was restarted.
  • An accidentally entered space or tab in the "comment" field of the shortcut to a favorite path no longer displays an empty path in the Menu.
