Hi Pedja,

I don't think that any xtra that I know of has this feature. Most
options gives you cXtraDialogs
http://www.cxtra.net/site4/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=50
It also has a special dialog ( OpenPictureDlg /  OpenPictureDlgEx ) with
an image preview of selected images.

But I think the feature you ask for could theoretically be implemented,
the Windows API functions GetOpenFileName()/ GetSaveFileName, that such
dialogs are based on, offer a lot of advanced features/options. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/userinput/commondialogboxlibrary/aboutcommondialogboxes/openandsaveasdialogboxes.asp

Maybe writing such an "ultimate, highly configurable
OpenFileDialog-Xtra" would be a nice exercise for the next time I'm
bored... ;-)
