 [1/3] from: mattsmac::hotmail::com at: 24-Oct-2003 11:50


Ok, stupid question, but I can't seem to get it to work. I want to have the user select a file save location for a file transfer and I want to be able to specify the default filename. Here is my code as of now. filepath: request-file/save/only/file filenames/:i where filenames/:i is the default filename This works fine except that it never inserts the default filename so the user always needs to type it in. Any ideas? Matt

It works for me, though I note there's no /save refinement with my request-file, so you must be using a later version (than I'm using on this box, which is View 1.2.1.) I used the following values to test it...
>> i: 2
== 2
>> filenames: [%a %b %c]
== [%a %b %c]
>> filenames/:i
== %b and see that "none" is put in the requester if i is trying to reference outside the block. If filenames/:i returns a file-name for you, then maybe your request-file is bugged. I'd test it on a new console first before reporting it as a bug though, just to be sure it's not been corrupted by whatever else you've been running. -- Carl Read

The latest view beta's request-file uses local-request-file. He's probably on windows and so sees the os native requester. I get the same behaviour and didn't see a way yet to set the filename (and actually see it in the requester). Perhaps make a way in your program to easily copy the filename so the user can paste it in the filename field. I expect that behaviour will be fixed eventually, though. Anton.
