missing in CE: choose a folder in CE

[zabojad]

Alex, can you describe this use case please ?

[zabojad]

Alex, the pick() API doesn't seem to allow folder selecting, does it ? How did you do when you were using file picker with Silex ?

Oups sorry for the delay I used to ask the user to select a file in the directory he would have selected I will use the new { folders: true } option to test it in Silex

[lexoyo]

I tried but it does not work :( It is live here http://preprod.silex.me/silex/ All it does is open the file picker normally. To reproduce: "file" then "settings" then the browse button "...". There CE is opened with pick({ folders: true }, successCb, errCb)

[zabojad]

Yes, it's normal, I've removed it in the haxe version since it's not in the Ink File Picker API / specs :(...

I see you really need it so I'll add it again but I do not like to diverge from our initial API / specs... However, I do not see any other solution here...

By the way, in which scenarii do you need to select/pick a folder ?

[zabojad]

OK, I've just added it on the repo... By the way, I also implemented mime types / extensions filtering:

You can now do this:

pick({ mimetype: "image/jpeg" }, successCb, errCb);
// or
pick({ mimetypes: ["image/jpeg", "image/png"] }, successCb, errCb);
// or
pick({ extension: "jpg" }, successCb, errCb);
// or
pick({ extensions: ["jpg", "png"] }, successCb, errCb);

For folder picking, do this:

pick({ mimetype: "text/directory" }, successCb, errCb);

And forget about pick({ folders: true }, successCb, errCb).

Cool, thx!!

By the way, in which scenarii do you need to select/pick a folder ?

When the user opens the publish settings, he is able to choose the folder to which Silex publishes the website

[zabojad]

OK, ... please confirm the issue is fixed once you've tested it...

Also, note that this feature (pick filtering) will see some improvements later for example: Ink allows to do this: pick({ mimetype: "image/*" }, successCb, errCb);. That's not yet possible in CE but it will be ^^...

Closing this for now as we can select directories now. Please reopen if needed.
