I have a program called BulkFileChanger, and when I add files - it opens Windows dialog where I can select files. Now that is common windows dialog and I can select all files ( ctr+a) and it selects all files + all subdirecotires, but when you click OPEN it just imports files, not the files contained in subdirecotires, so is there a way to actually open all files + all files in all subdirectories in normal windows open files dialog ? I am also using some other programs that can open "bulk" files, but strange thing is that none of them (who uses normal windows open files dialog) can actaully open subfolders.... is there some kind of shortcut in Windows that will allow this feature ?
The file dialog will not do this for you. There is no setting that will make it recurse into sub-folders and return all files contained within. If you want that functionality you must implement it yourself.

How to run a (previously recorded) macro for all files inside a folder ?
Example : I have recorded a macro that is working correctly for an opened html file. I have saved the macro as "test.jsee".
I have a folder in my computer named "C:\folder_with_files". It is full of html files.
How to run "test.jsee" for all files inside the folder "C:\folder_with_files" ?
ps: same question if many subfolders contains html files inside the main big folder "C:\folder_with_files" ?
pps: my idea is that Emeditor opens one file, run the macro, close the file (I have already saved the updated file in my macro) and do the same for the next file.
There are two ways to accomplish your task.
Select Run with Temporary Options on the Macros menu. Select the macro, set the Run the macro against each opened document option, add (or drag and drop) files or folders to the list, and set the Save and close each document after running the macro if necessary.
Or
Select Advanced Open on the File menu. Set the Run a macro against each opened document, select the macro, click the Select Files to Open... button to select all files you want to open.
If you can't see these commands, please make sure you are using the newest version of EmEditor Professional.
I am implementing a windows file explorer, which is used to replace the system explorer.
At present, I have found a way to replace double-clicking the folder to start my own process, but I don’t know how SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems is implemented when selecting files after opening the folder.
Same other explorer soft can do this funtion,like "Directory Opus" and "xplorer2",how did they do?

File splitter and combine function of emeditor is very powerful,
but is support opened file and specified file only.
When we have a couple of files need to be splitted or combined.
It's not be able to work .
Can author add this function?
Ready to buy a lifetime liscense.
You can open all files with EmEditor before you combine files. This is partly because EmEditor needs to know exact file encodings, and bookmarks need to be set after files are open. Opening multiple files is easy and fast with EmEditor. You can select multiple files in the Open dialog box, or you can drag and drop multiple files from Windows Explorer. Splitting files can be already possible without opening files.
This is something that I thought would be extremely simple to do. A math teacher handles her notes through Dropbox and gets .zip files emailed to her containing updates (by updates- they're the full folders so she can delete the old and extract the new ones in their places). She asked if it was possible to extract the zip files, then copy them to the dropbox. Coming from a Linux/Mac point of view I thought it would be easy- unzip command with -d... Little did I know Windows doesn't support unzip. I've tried googling ways to do this, and found that windows doesn't seem to have a default 'unzip' command of any kind? And when trying to copy the files, wildcards don't work either??? She gets 7+ .zip files at a time, all are named "Unit (number).zip" So I was using Unit*.zip. Any help/ideas would be appreciated- I already suggested she tries ubuntu because she constantly states how she likes the way my laptop looks.
WinZip can quickly unzip multiple files through its drag and drop interface. You can select multiple WinZip files, right click, and drag them to a folder to unzip them all with one operation.
From an open folder window, highlight the WinZip files you want to Extract
Right click in the highlighted area and drag to the destination folder
Release the right mouse button
Choose WinZip Extract to here
To unzip multiple Zip files without drag and drop:
From an open folder window, highlight the WinZip files you want to Extract
Right click in the highlighted area
Choose WinZip Extract to ...
Enter the destination folder

You can easily use the GUI for this:
Here is a trick I have found for extracting multiple zips at once without installing any extra programs:
Select the zip files that you want to extract
Right-drag them to an empty space (in the same folder is fine)
Select Extract and follow the prompts
Yes, it is not quite as nice as using the command prompt, but it does get the job done.
Also, wildcards do work with command prompt. Perhaps you weren't issuing the command correctly. This command works fine for me:
copy Unit*.zip D:\folder2\
I'm having some issues with my default.magic file in clearcase when adding files to clearcase.
When I go to C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\config\magic the default.magic file is not visible in windows explorer or by doing a dir in a cmd window.
However I can open the file in a text editor and make changes to it. (Via the open dialog).
What is going on? Is it possible clearcase can't find its own file?
I am not sure why the default.magic file, wouldn't be visible, but it is best to leave that default file untouched.
As explained in Evaluating multiple magic files, you can define multiple magic files for you to test.
In "About the ClearCase Magic file", you would, for Windows (including CC7.1+) create a cc.magic file (in the same directory as the default.magic file). And that file would be visible enough.
