I will try to look for some external lua code on the web to see if I can find something.
That would not work for general any user file browsing, as it requires the path to be known. I would also have to contend with the lack of sorting, additional filtering, file info etc. and the inability to preview thumbnails etc.synthsin75 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 8:25 am Depending on what you want to do, you could basically create your own open dialog.
You'd start by using moho:BeginFileListing(dir, listHiddenAndSystemFiles), so you could specify the directory.
You'd do a loop of moho:GetNextFile() to make a list of files, which you could then edit for one or more specific extensions.
Then you'd have to present those choices to the user and open the selected one/s using FileOpen, FileImport, SetSourceImage, etc..
So maybe not too bad a workaround.
at the risk of sounding dumb -- are you opening a file using LM.GUI.OpenFile(caption) or ScriptInterface:FileOpen(path) or Lua's io.open (filename [, mode]) .. and would a different call give you what you want?bbrraayyaann wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 12:44 am Hi I am using OpenFile and when I call the function it opens the file explorer with the last default path.
Is there any way to use OpenFile,
to open a specific path?
Yes, I am using LM.GUI.OpenFile(caption),
Something like "moho:SetLastDir()" or "moho:SetOpenDir()" sounds to me like a perfectly reasonable feature request that I'm sure would have been added if someone had thought about it (I wish!) when the other ones (AppDir, UserAppDir, etc) was added. But it's never too late, I guess...bbrraayyaann wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 12:44 am Hi I am using OpenFile and when I call the function it opens the file explorer with the last default path.

And that would be definitely like the icing on the cake.
) for the moment that I can think is to pass the desired path to clipboard, e. g. like this:
Code: Select all
moho:CopyText("D:\\Projects\\Moho\\Moho Pro\\Scripts\\Menu")Ramón López wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 6:21 pm Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking ...
Before calling Open file copy the path to the clipboard, although you could also put a quick access in Windows. But if the quick access is full it would be useful to copy the path to the clipboard first.
It would still be good to put that function, I think it is not so difficult and also as SimplSam says, the option to only specify what type of files are allowed would be more complete.
Pd: I just saw the CopyText() thing, I thought it did not exist.
Yeah, the OP needed to open a specific directory.SimplSam wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:00 pmThat would not work for general any user file browsing, as it requires the path to be known.

Code: Select all
local path = "D:\\Projects\\Moho\\Moho Pro\\Scripts\\Menu\\"
local sOut = io.popen( "dir /B " .. path .. "*.png", "r" )
local sData = sOut:read "*a"
-- print sData
How would it work exactly?hayasidist wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 10:37 am try this (windows):
that will give you all the .pngs in that directory in a string with each entry delimited by new line; or use *l in a loop to get each line (nil on EoF). see http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#6.8Code: Select all
local path = "D:\\Projects\\Moho\\Moho Pro\\Scripts\\Menu\\" local sOut = io.popen( "dir /B " .. path .. "*.png", "r" ) local sData = sOut:read "*a" -- print sData
you could then use the filenames in a drop down to choose which one(s) to include or whatever....
