Add options to FileSaveDialog?

[sandman]

This would probably require some editing of the AutoIt source for FileSaveDialog.

I know in Notepad, in their save dialog there's also an Encoding option. How can this be done for my script?

I had asked the same thing a while back, although I may not have been quite as clear. I had wanted to find a way to detect what filter was chosen with the dialog prompt so that the script would take action based on the chosen filter....

I still haven't found any way of accomplishing this....

You have to extend the native dialog yourself, per program.

how exactly does one do that?

[sandman]

Or could you add filters, for example for encoding:

ANSI .txt (*.txt)
UTF-8 .txt (*.txt)
UTF-16 .txt (*.txt)

That would probably get overwhelming if there was a lot of filetypes, though.

[maqleod]

adding filters isn't the problem, detecting the selected filter when the save button is pressed is.

unless I'm misunderstanding what you are saying....

Why not just make a custom save dialog function?

I suppose that would make the most sense, huh

I'm very frustrated cos they don't work for me, but it should work with you.
