Hello all,
I‘d like to tell selectInput() which folder and file extension to use:
File file1= new File( sketchPath(”“) + ”*.txt“);
selectInput(”...“, ”...“, file1);
Doesn’t work. It starts with the Desktop Folder instead (and not in sketch path folder).
(Sorry for the wrong „“, my iPhone…)
What do I have to change?
Win 10.
Thank you!

Limited research but probly these next links could help:
The docs which you might have seen (nothing about extensions)
Checking the source code, you need to check JFileChooser and probly FileChooser’s documentation and use those libraries directly if it fits your use case requirements.

Actually
selectInput ( "Select a file to process:" , "fileSelected" , dataFile( "*.txt" ));
did the trick.
Remaining problem is that the load dialog is not in the foreground in Win 10 but hidden.
Any ideas?
This sounds like a bug worth reporting. Is that behind a PDE sketch window, or is it from an exported application?
in Win 10 / processing 3.5.3. /
called from a keyPressed()
no problem
but yes usually thing like
JOptionPane.showInputDialog
tend to be behind the canvas window GRRR

// as started from load display image i have a sub dir /data/ with a data\moonwalk.jpg
static final String PICS_EXTS = "extensions=,png,jpg,jpeg,gif,tif,tiff,tga,bmp,wbmp";
File dir;
String[] imagePaths = {};
int imagesFound = 0;
boolean havefile = false;
PImage img;
void filedata() { // @GoToLoop
dir = dataFile("");
println(dir);
if (dir.isDirectory()) {
imagePaths = listPaths(dir.getPath(), "files", "recursive", PICS_EXTS);
imagesFound = imagePaths.length;
}
printArray(imagePaths);
println("Found", imagesFound, "image(s)");
}
void setup() {
size(300,300);
filedata();
println("use: key [r] for file open dlg\n or key [0 (...x]) for load from array");
}
void draw() {
if ( havefile ) image(img,0,0); //,width,height
}
void keyPressed() {
if ( key == 'r') {
selectInput("open picture: ", "fileSelected", dataFile(PICS_EXTS));
}
if ( key == '0') {
String thefile = imagePaths[0];
println("you selected: key ["+key+"] "+thefile);
img = loadImage(thefile);
havefile = true;
}
}
void fileSelected(final File sel) {
if (sel != null) {
String thefile = sel.getPath();
println("you selected: "+thefile);
img = loadImage(thefile);
havefile = true;
}
}
Thanks a lot everyone!
