It appears that the display string is the last element of the path, but this can cause potential confusion when the paths are very different, but the last folder is identical. Take for example "C:\Users\Public\Documents" and "C:\Users\<user_name>\Documents". Each of these will be displayed as "Documents" in the final UI, even though the first is probably more recognizable as "Common Documents" or "Public Documents". The icon appears to be different for each, but that's not enough to distinguish them enough without first browsing the path.

It would be nice to create a seamless experience for our users between an application that uses the RadFileDialogs and their native Windows OS. To that end, having the RadFileDialogs use the same InitialSelectedLayout as the base OS would go a long way. Adding some way to identify the current Windows setting and to set the RadFileDialog accordingly would be a great help.

Currently mobile phones are not visible in the navigation tree of the file dialogs.

Make them available like in MS Explorer and file dialogs.

Add a full autocomplete support - while the control is focused, type certain keys and the file dialogs should select the relative match for the currently typed text.

OpenFolderDialog with no FileName specified. Select Drive C and the press Open Folder - Exception in PreserveLastAccessDirectoryIfNeeded method.

In R2 2018 Release we released the standalone usage of ExplorerControl and the CurrentDirectoryPath works only as a setter. When user sets it- it navigates to the directory with the given path. It would be useful for the clients to have this property with working getter - to provide the path of the current folder.

RadOpenFileDialog or RadSaveFileDialog with Filter, for example 

  fileDialog.Filter = "Excel Worksheets|*.xlsx;*.xls|All Files|*.*";
   fileDialog.FilterIndex = 1;

This should filter the files in MainPane on load to xls files only (index is 1-based). However, filter is not applied on load - regression in R3 2018.

Drag & Drop between ExplorerControl and Windows Explorer does not work

To reproduce this behavior you need the following settings.

- Set the display language of your Windows to Italian.
- Use a RadOpenFileDialog.
- Set its Filter. For example, you can filter to show only Excel files.
- Change the layout type to Details.

In this case the folders in the opened direction disappears.

The contents of the Path Navigation Pane and Main Pane are not synced with the selection inside the Tree Navigation Pane when a local drive is shared through a remote desktop connection.

This is reproducible only with display language of the Windows set to a language different than English. It was originally reproduced with French.

If you set the initial directory to a network dir (ex: \\MyPcName\SharedFolder2\MyFiles), and open the dialog, initially the correct folder is loaded. However, if you wait several seconds without doing anything, the currently opened directory automatically changes to the root "Network" dir.

The error message appears after you do several operations with the dialog and then call the Directory.Move() method. The message is "Access to the path <path> is denied".

Can you please add the ability to select (and scroll into view) a file/folder in the RadFileDialog by keyboard? i.e. when focused within the files section of the dialog, typing 's' should scroll to the first file starting with 's' and select it.

All the Win32 and WPF file dialogs support this.

It would be nice to have some additional public properties and commands for ExplorerControl.  For example:

• Boolean properties to show/hide the first two rows (containing the breadcrumbs, new folder button, layout combo box, etc.).
• Search command or public SearchText property.
• Cancellable OnNavigating event.
• Navigation tree "RootDirectory" property, which would replace the top-level "This PC" node.

Thanks for your consideration!

Expose an event that allows you to cancel the navigation to a folder. For example, if you enter an address in the breadcrumb, click the back button, or select a directory in the navigation tree, then you should be able to cancel the navigation.

This can be done via a new event that have a Cancel property in its arguments, for example.

The naming shown here is not mandatory.

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.)

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

For example Filter is "XAML CS Files (*.xaml.cs)|*.xaml.cs"

MS Win32 OpenFileDialog filter files correctly to show only xaml.cs files.

RadOpenFile/SaveFileDialog does not show the xaml.cs files which is wrong.
