Hi Eric,
There is a Windows Explorer option to synchronise the left hand tree with the currently selected folder on the right. I'm pretty sure the default is switched off. I have no idea where I found the option though! Explorer is soooo buggy. I wish MS would hurry up and fix the left hand tree randomly jumping to the bottom when you click on the folders! Grrrr! Tony.

I didn’t think to look at that because I have been used to seeing the Windows Vista and XP file dialogs for so long and those ones do expand, but there is no left pane when it is a directory browsing dialog. Therefore, I looked at the way it works in Visual Studio, and you are absolutely correct! Visual Studio does the exact same thing, which makes sense since they both use native dialogs. This is not a Qt bug, but in my opinion, a Windows bug. Thank you for your response!

However, the tree in the left-hand pane of the Windows dialog does not expand to that location. Uhm... even though I am using Win 7 as a daily development platform since beginning of this year: is the file dialog actually /supposed/ to expand the left side? What do other non-Qt apps do? Cheers, Oliver
