load/save configuration - no open/save dialog apperaing

[MarcinSzafran]

hi
I have a problem on new computer, fresh install, Win11Pro 25H2, OpenShell is v4.4.196 (and others except v4.4.194).
I cannot load or save configration, because open/save dialog is not appering; configuration window becomes inactive for a moment, then becomes back active.
I tried different versions, with v4.4.194 only dialog appeared, but after changing skin, and I could traverse tree on left panel only, but content of dirs/files panel have not changed (I have had to write full path and filename and press OK to import configuration).
(is there any tool to get more info, debug or sth? I have checked Windows' logs, but found nothing.

ok, it may be OpenShell / Win11 25H2 problem - I have checked different computer with Win11Pro upgraded to 25H2, and there is the same problem (with 24H2 everything was OK).

Ya did't pop-up for me neither. But it did load everything just fine so must've just defaulted to last save/file, think I only have one save if I remember right, been a min. I'm 11 home 25H2, been noticing a bunch of stuff acting up ever since I dl'd it. Like my bluetooth just randomly shuts off and disappears and tons of video streaming problems, about to roll back to 24. Hell might go back to 7 :p.

Unfortunately some Windows update completely broke these file save/load dialogs in Open-Shell.
For now we don't have any fix (I have no clue what is wrong there not time/will to spend my time on it).

In the meantime, you can use command line to save/load configuration.
Create backup XML:
"C:\Program Files\Open-Shell\StartMenu.exe" -backup <full-path-to-xml>
Import XML:
"C:\Program Files\Open-Shell\StartMenu.exe" -xml <full-path-to-xml>
