Hi Graham,
This seems extremely simple, but I can't get the following example
to work (the example comes from the Rev dictionary for Rev 3.5.0
build 870):
For example, to specify that only Revolution files should appear in
the dialog box, use this statement. The description "Revolution
files" is visible to the user at the bottom of the dialog, and only
files with the extension ".rev" are shown:
answer file myPrompt with filter "Revolution files,*.rev"
this is the old Windows-only filter method.
When I do this on an Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.5.7, the file
selection box appears but all the files (not just non- .rev files)
in the directory are dimmed and can't be selected. Same if I use the
"answer files" version, and also if I substitute "type" for
"filter". OTOH if I leave out the type/filter part of the statement,
I get the directory shown with all types of files (of course) and
the individual files are selectable and the expected list appears in
the "it" variable.
I just want to see one type of file (not really .rev, but if that
example works then clearly I can do what I want).
What am I doing wrong? Answer file has existed for a long time, so I
imagine it's my mistake rather than a bug. I found some some
correspondence about this in the list archives way back in 2002, but
nothing I can see more recent.
The crossplatform way is:
...
answer file myPrompt with TYPE "Revolution Stacks|rev|RSTK"
...
Check the docs answer file with TYPE" for more info.
TIA
Graham
Best
Klaus
