Hi there,
That's my problem:
have a button to choose a file, into the mouseUp event I have this
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put specialFolderPath("Documents") into tFilePath
answer file "Please choose a file"
if the result is not "cancel" then
put it into tFilename
put url ("file:" & tFilename) into field "text"
end if
end mouseUp
in tFilePath I find the correct path (the system folder Documents), but the file selection window show me the last folder opened.
what's wrong?
thanks for your attention
franco

Hola Franco,
1. welcome to the forum!
2. You are only putting your path to the documents folder into a variable but do not use it!
This is an extra parameter for the ANSWER XXX dialog:
...
put specialFolderPath("Documents") into tFilePath
answer file "Please choose a file" WITH tFilePath
...
Will do what you want.
Best
Klaus

Woa Klaus but you're fast! I was just in the process of replying to Franco when I noticed your answer popping up - I'll have to type super-extra-fast in future

ciao Klaus,
1) thanks for the welcome.
2) and for your help, it works great. seeing your suggestion I realized how much was obvious: I was not using the specialFolderPath.... D'oh!
hi Dave, you came the second.... try again
bye franco
