Hey guys,
actually one of the few refreshing things when I'm using the Windows laptop... and I would even go as far to say the Windows dialog should be default on the windows builds!
Not sure. We had this in the past, then we chose to use the native GTK dialogs on Windows as well. That's why that compile-time option exists.
I'll try to fix the issue soon so it will compile again.
Not as soon as I wished but still: I committed a basic native Windows Save As dialog with the side effect that Geany compiles again with GEANY_USE_WIN32_DIALOG set. The dialog should save files and work with file filters (which are not sorted, yet). Though any other functionality from the GTK Save As dialog is missing. I think I'll adapt most of the set/get initial directory and filename logic but probably not much more. Anyway, patches are welcome. Oh, and feedback. Especially about some of my favourite features like Unicode filenames and such :).
What we could do is making the choice of the dialogs not a compile-time option but a runtime-option. And maybe add a GUI preference for it so more users get the ability to actually decide which dialogs they want (I guess most of the Windows users don't compile Geany theirselves :D).
This will be the next step. I hope to get it done in time before Geany 0.19.
