Re: A Question about Ask File
Yes, you are so right! I found my problem: Some of my filenames had slashes in
them which created confusion for the filePath. Once I got rid of the slashes,
everything worked as one would expect. BTW, it’s not really my fault . . . I
didn’t put the slashes in the names . . . my customer did. Swine customer!!

Re: A Question about Ask File
You are providing a path and a file name. They are just not provided as
separate parameters. The suggested file name must be placed at the end of the
path location.

Re: A Question about Ask File
Thank you, Herman, but by providing this solution, are you saying that one
cannot specify BOTH a defaultName and a defaultFilePathin a standard ask file
prompt???

Re: A Question about Ask File
Create a *full* filePath. For example:
ask file "Save as:" with imagePath("export",".png")
function imagePath f,x
put the effective filename of this stack into p
set itemdel to slash
put 0 into z
put f into last item of p
repeat while there is a file p
add 1 to z
put f into last item of p
end repeat
return p
end imagePath

Re: A Question about Ask File
Ok, that’s very reasonable and works. Now how do I also add a default name to the mix? If I append a defaultFileName to the defaultFilePath, it no longer sticks to the defaultFilePath.
