I have used the dlgSave in LabTalk to ask the user to pick the location of where to save the project file. Using the Init variable, I can send them to the suggested folder.
--> Is there a way to also make a suggested filename to populate in the dialog box?

I can save the project directly as my suggested name, but I would rather have the user pick the location and confirm the name (and also the dialog box nicely takes care of confirming overwrite of an existing file).
Passing the suggested path+filename via Init does not work.

dlgSave fname:=myfile init:=PathA$ ext:=*.opj title:="Saving Project file location";
save %(myfile$);


Thanks, Derek

Hello,

In fact this is not supported in Origin 2016, but we can try to make some revision to one *.oxf file to make it possible.

Would you please submit a simple feature request by:
http://www.originlab.com/www/company/qform.aspx?s=1&

or send a letter to tech@originlab.com

and we will provide you further information about this problem.


Best regards!
Jason

Thanks for the info. I was hoping that there was an easy hidden variable to change or maybe a Origin C function.

Thanks, Derek
