  QAP is the closest thing to macOS' Default Folder X. Great tool.
  
  Would be great if you guys could modify Open Save dialog a la macOS Default Folder X.
  
  Merci

  Hi marathonmax. Welcome to the forum.
  
  QAP is developed with Autohotkey, a development tool highly integrated with Windows. Little chance that QAP code could be adapted/ported to the Mac OS...
  
  Merci pour le feedback.

  Hey, not looking for a port to macOS, quite the opposite. Looking for QAP to be more tightly integrated within Windows' open/save dialog a la Default Folder. See screenshot.

  Oh! I misunderstood you. Some developers tried to integrate these kind of features inside the Windows file dialog boxes. But these apps (at least those that I know) stopped working when Windows changed its inside structure (mostly when going from XP to Win7) and were abandoned since.
  
  The approach of QAP is to control Windows using documented API calls or by sending keystrokes to Windows when there are no better solution and when these keystrokes work with all languages versions. This approach does not allow to change the dialog box user interface itself but, this way, QAP future is safer.
  
  So, the short answer is unfortunately: no...
