Hi,

Can someone please suggest the best way to select a folder only via dialog?

The problem is that I have an image file (pdf) and want the user to be able to chnage the default folder via dialog. I can handle this via fdlog.saveas for ascii files but can't do the equivalent with image (pdf) files.

Thanks,

cheers,

pete

If you want to prompt the user to pick a folder then I suggest using FDlog's OpenPath method.


FDlog.Reset();
FDlog.DlgName$="Choose a folder for PDF files";
FDlog.OpenPath();
%a=;


If you want to change the default path for all images then call FDlog's UseGroup method before calling OpenPath.

FDlog.Reset();
FDlog.DlgName$="Choose a folder for image files";
FDlog.UseGroup(image);
FDlog.OpenPath();
%a=;

Many thanks - I had missed this as it wasn't in the help file (although found by fdlog.= in script window).

Cheers,

Pete
