Requestfile$ - Default folder

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Requestfile$ - Default folder

Is there a way to set the requestfile gadget thingy to open up to a particular folder - not just the last used one?

If I try with the 'defname$' flag there is a problem. If I'm setting to a folder like "c:\program files" - it sets the folder to "c:" alright - but it then assumes that "program files" is the default file name and puts this in the Filename box. There must be a way around this....Thanks - TimJo.

Changedir "c:\somedir"
Bla$=RequestFile (...)

That's what I thought, but Changedir has no effect on the requestfile default folder location ????? There must be another way, but I can't figure it out. Any other ideas always welcome....

Did you try opening the dir:

OpenDir("somedir")
File$=RequestFile(...)

I don't seem to have OpenDir as a command - is it in one of the user libs?

I"m not sure, I'll look it up the OpenDir command works in BlitzPlus here, I'll see if I can find it in a userlib.
