Hello all

Now AFAIK FileSel File field only admits file names when looking for files.

A good thing could be if that field would admit folder names, so that the Directory field would change to that folder.

What do you think?

index.php?t=getfile&id=3665&private=0

I am confused. First of all, screenshot is not verz familiar - this looks like something 7 years ago. Is not this post somehow resurected from the past?

Moreover, what you request, if I understand you well, seems to work for me. If I write theide in this situation and press enter, it goes to theide directory...

Sorry Mirek Embarassed

It does work. I am confused because I am sure I tried it before. Perhaps it happened in an old .exe I run.

Hello Mirek

I have found the problem again and the reason of the strange behavior. In FileSel::Open(), line 829 there is a:

if(fn.Find(' ') < 0 && fn.Find('\"') < 0) {
...
	if(ff[0].is_directory) {
		SetDir(TrimDot(fn));
...
}

This means that if the directory has not spaces (like in "c:\data"), it is considered as directory. However if it has spaces (like in "C:\Documents and Settings", it is considered only as file name.

Best regards

OK, I guess that the test for space is not really needed (I guess I was too prudent at the time of writing it), removing seems to fix the problem (comited to svn).
