We use DG 17 every day for production at General Wear Inc., and we’d like to request an improvement to how files are saved and opened.
Current behavior
When saving a file, DG 17 shows an older style save window. It has two problems:
  • No direct access to Favorites or Quick Access. We have to click through several folders every time to reach the locations we use most.
  • No search. Our project folders hold hundreds of design files. Without a search box we have to scroll through all of them by eye to find the right one, which is slow and easy to get wrong.
  • Requested change
    Please switch DG 17 to the standard modern Windows file dialog for Save, Save As and Open. That would give us:
  • Favorites and Quick Access pinned folders, one click away
  • A search box to filter files by name
  • Recent locations and the usual navigation pane
  • We’d expect this to be standard in current software, and it would save us real time on every job.
    Impact
    We save and open files many times a day, and the extra clicks and manual scrolling add up quickly across our production week.
    Thank you for considering this. We’re happy to give more detail or test a beta build.

    M.D.M.
