Hidden menu options

[dmex]

Ive been thinking about a Tutorial for this but Im lost as to how I should name it or explain how to access the options

I dont know how many of you have noticed but nearly all the File/Save dialogues have hidden options available :huh:

Default Save Microsoft Word


Advanced Save Microsoft Word


Default save Snipping Tool


Advanced save Snipping Tool


The Thing thats annoyed me about this since the first leaked build of Windows 7 is how these options are more or less hidden, end-users will not notice them and how applications that dont have options will use the last menu-size and show a very large emtpy space



On a separate issue, I do like how you can hide menu's altogether in applications using the Ribbonbar though

Paint


Wordpad

It shows when saving files within any program

How do you access these?

Just resize the lower section where the options are located to see them

It shows when saving files within any program

Theres only a few applications supporting extra options at the moment

Im still not sure what to explain in a Tutorial to use these features though

haha, wow, there really needs to be an indicator that there's more stuff there.

Thanks.

All those are metadata tags that will help when you search for files btw. So if your file is saved as movie1.mpg and you put the tag of "Family Vacation" when you search for "Vacation" it'll pop up in the search results.
