Can't point file requester to a specific folder...

For reasons unknown, the ChangeDir command doesn't affect the filerequester path. I change the dir before I do a file request and it always opens up the last folder. Anyone know how to fix this? I don't want to use a different GUI or Lib. *Pulling my hair out* Chroma |

Just grab the currentdir$() first into a temp string Then do your changedir Do your bits and pieces Then change it back again. |
| ||
What I'm saying is I want the filerequester to open a specific folder and I'm changing the directory to that folder just before the filerequester is triggered. But it's not working. Is the ChangeDir command broken is this aspect? |
| ||
ChangeDir doesn't have anything to do with the file requester, its for the file i/o commands. I don't think that RequestFile has this functionality so maybe you should suggest it in the B+ update thread (bug reports). If anyone knows how to make this work I'd be interested as well. |

This command was updated in the latest version: RequestFile$( title$,exts$[,save][,defname$] ) ..where defname$ is the default directory to use. |
| ||
That's not how defname$ works for me. Defname$ is the default filename not the directory. The way I understand it is that RequestFile uses the 'OpenSaveMRU' bit of the registry - that's a Windows thing and not really Blitz's fault. |
| ||
Is does both AFAICT. |
| ||
Why don't the 1.39 docs reflect this? |
| ||
TBH there should be a RequestFileDir command, this would sort it out :) |
