I left some design questions over at https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher/pull/1018/files#r922377206


// Required ref: SHDocVw (Microsoft Internet Controls COM Object) - C:\Windows\system32\ShDocVw.dll
ShellWindows shellWindows = new SHDocVw.ShellWindows();

// loop through all windows
foreach (var window in shellWindows)
{
if (window is not SHDocVw.InternetExplorer)
{
continue;
}

var explorerWindow = (SHDocVw.InternetExplorer)window;
// match active window
if (explorerWindow.HWND == (int)handle)
{
// Required ref: Shell32 - C:\Windows\system32\Shell32.dll
var shellWindow = explorerWindow.Document as Shell32.IShellFolderViewDual2;

// will be null if you are in Internet Explorer for example
if (shellWindow != null)
{
// Item without an index returns the current object
var currentFolder = shellWindow.Folder.Items().Item();

I've gotten far more consistent results with the following. It also seems to handle special cases like the documents folder or the recycle bin folder.

string locationUrl = window.LocationURL;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(locationUrl))
{
    string folderPath = new Uri(locationUrl).LocalPath;
    return folderPath;
}

Maybe you can fire a pr based on this one, and modify code there. @Garulf will have access to modify your pr so it would be easier to review and edit the code.


// special folder - use window title
// for some reason on "Desktop" gives null
if (currentFolder == null || currentFolder.Path.StartsWith("::"))
{
// Get window title instead
const int nChars = 256;
StringBuilder Buff = new StringBuilder(nChars);
if (GetWindowText(handle, Buff, nChars) > 0)
{
return Buff.ToString();
}
}
else
{
return currentFolder.Path;
}
}

break;
