Select folder dialog should allow pasting paths

[tenfour]

Very small detail, but on Windows, when you browse for a directory in the Render dialog, please allow the new Windows "browse for folder" dialog which allows pasting in paths.

It's just a matter of adding BIF_USENEWUI when calling SHBrowseForFolder.

Which dialogues? I get the pasteable UI for things like Choose new file in item properties, open project.

But I don't get it if I go to Preferences > General > Paths. Is it these ones you're referring to?

I suppose we'd need a list of all the outdated ones that need replacing to help the devs out.

I agree this is one of the most aggravating windows in all of windows OS:

Yes officer, that's the dialog right there.

The one I was referring to is Project -> Render -> Browse For Directory, but yes it's all the same thing.

And at the API level, it's an extremely easy fix.

And backwards compatibility with old Windows XP (for example)?
Or some kind of checking for OS version and offer then appropriate dialog version?

Looks like I had the same gripe many years ago:

Just want to lend my support to this, why is this dialog still a thing? Immediate flow killer every time
