Help to set activepath on my function

[Dapeamel]

Hello guys,

Chinnadk helped me with this function

my question is..

I wonder how do I add a default path so each time the File.openDialog comes up it navigastes to ("C:/test/xxx example")

see my function below

function copyfiles()
  {
  var _files = File.openDialog("Select indesign files","*.indd",true),  
  TargetFolder= Folder.selectDialog("Select the target folder"),  
  _parent = _files[0].parent.toString().replace(_files[0].parent.parent,"");  
  new Folder(TargetFolder+ _parent).create();  
  var filenames = "";  
  var txtfile = new File(TargetFolder+ _parent + "/myFileLog.txt");  
  for(var i=0;i<_files.length;i++)  
  {  
  _files.copy(new File(TargetFolder+ _parent + "/" + _files.name));  
  filenames +=_files.name + "\r";  
  }  
  txtfile.open('w');  
  txtfile.write(filenames);  
  txtfile.close();  
  //txtfile.execute();   öppnar textfilen
  //#include "/Kommuni/LaRe/LareAUTO/341542/scripts/interface/scripts/KABPDFExport_1.jsx" 
  // $.writeln(myFile.displayName);  // just for write the data in console  


}

thank you in advance

Hi,

Cause we are on the scripting forum let me comment this a little...

Well, sometimes the only thing you can say is the one Pi Patel said to the tiger in the middle of the ocean - BE PATIENT!

Predefined paths was a subject of your last posts:

active path and function

If mFolder is some place you want to start a dialog tree-view - mFolder.openDlg() works in the same way.

Could you implemente that in the code?

Right,

function copyfiles() 
    { 
    var _files = new File("C:/test/xxx example").openDlg("Select indesign files","*.indd",true);
    // ...
    }
