  When I´m in a "Save As" Dialog of an Application and select a path from Recent Folders in the QAP popup, that path is properly used as the destination path in the "Save As" dialog.
  
  However, I want a path from Current Folders to be used as the destination path in the "Save As" dialog. But, instead, selecting a current path only brings the file manager window (DOPUS) with the current path to the foreground instead of entering this path in the "Save As" Dialog as Destination.
  Is it possible to have the path selected in Current Folders automatically entered as the target path in the Save As dialog, like it works with the path from Recent Folders?
  
  And if so, how do I implement that?
  
  Thanks in advance

  Hi,
  
  > However, I want a path from Current Folders to be used as the destination path
  
  Just to make sure, do you mean the "Reopen a folder" dynamic menu (containing all folders currently open in Explore, DOpus, TC)?
  
  I had no issue selecting an item from the "Reopen a folder" menu in a "Save As" dialog box. Same as with "Recent Folders".
  
  Do you have the same issue with various application's save as dialog box or only one?

  Please forgive my unclear description, I am not yet very familiar with the individual components and functions of the obviously very powerful tool QAP (many thanks for that, by the way)! I'm just getting closer...
  My question concerns the configurable popup menu that opens using MMB:

  No problem. This menu item "Curent Folders" has been renamed "Current Windows" some time ago. Maybe it is still named "Current Folders" because you customized your menu before the renaming. Anyway, this menu *activates* the selected window. It cannot change the dialog box to this folder.
  
  The solution is to replace the first item in your menu with "Reopen a folder". Add a favorite of type "QAP Feature", section "Dynamic menus", item "Reopen a folder".

  This works perfectly, thank you!
