IndexOutOfRangeException is thrown when deleting files while the FileDialog is loading.

Setting the InitialDirectory property of the FileDialog to a folder with a huge large number of folders/items/files inside will significantly delay the loading process.

Currently dialogs provide only custom places pane. 

Add auto-populated built-in section with well-known quick access like in the MS file dialogs.

The FileName property is sometimes set wrong after a drive is selected from the Tree Navigation Pane and the Open button is clicked. 

Add the option to display folder shortcuts in OpenFolderDialog and to dereference links.

You can show the shortcuts by adding a Filter, however in the MS dialogs they are visible by default. 

When a link to a folder is selected and the Open button is clicked, the RadOpenFileDialog does not navigate to that folder. 

Currently, the icons are collected from the OS. Add an API to allow using custom icons that the developer can provide.

Add a mechanism that allows show/hide the context menu that opens when you right click on an empty space in the dialog. For example, you should be able to hide the "New Folder" or "Properties" options.

Provide a way to create custom Confirm dialog when overriding a file in SaveFileDialog.

Using RadOpenFileDialog reports a lot of binding errors. #26 seems to happen all the time, whereas #40 is related to the length of the initial directory.

The dialog is working, but those errors are really disturbing. The more false binding errors we get, the higher the possibility is that we miss real errors. Suppressing them by setting the error level to Critical is not a solution, as it will suppress real errors as well.

RadOpenFileDialog does not update FilterIndex

The RadOpenFileDialog has a property FilterIndex to get or set the index of the currently selected filter. Setting the index works fine. However, the property is not updated when the user selects a different filter. FilterIndex will always keep the value that was initially set. This is quite annoying, as we want that our customers find their most recently used filter index pre-selected.

The same problem exists for InitialSelectedLayout, which is never update either. .Net Framework's OpenFileDialog restores the most recently selected view automatically.

FileDialogs version is 2019.1.116.45

An InvalidOperationException is thrown with the following message: "Cyclic reference found while evaluating the ThemeStyle property on element ..."

When the layout type is set to Details the rename with the slow double click doesn't work. The selected file/folder doesn't enter edit mode.

Add an API that can be used to cancel or modify the editing of files and folders. For example, you can introduce Editing and Edited events for the dialog which can be fired when the selected file goes into edit mode and after the editing is committed.

OpenFile/SaveFile dialog or ExplorerControl with Multiselect, Details View and Filter applied.

Click on a file / fodler in gridview - argument exception occurs.

"Property FileSystemInfo is not defined for type System.Object."

Currently, the root of the file system is "This PC". Allow setting a custom folder as a root (for example, C:\Users\mivanov\Documents) and show only its children.

Introduce a mechanism to allow executing search manually. Similar to the RadGridViewCommands.SearchByText command.

On Windows Server 2012 R2, the Search field in the ExplorerControl doesn't appear to work.  This is observable using the Demo app.

When you type into the Search box, the main pane clears of all file/folder entries, but the matching results never appear.

(Note: Windows Server 2012 R2 isn't available in the OS box, so I chose 2008.)
