Pesky tmp00000001 entry in File.openDlg

[FitzFoto]

When I use File.openDlg there is a highlighted entry of 'tmp00000001' in the File name box.

There is no such file in the folder.

Any ideas on how to stop this behaviour?  TIA

Duplicate, please ignore.  BTW, how can you delete a post, pls?

File('~/desktop').openDlg()

[FitzFoto]

Thanks for answering, but that gives a runtime error (in ESTK).  No other information, sorry.

For me it works, so maybe you have other operating system than Windows?

[FitzFoto]

Nope, Windows 10.

Show the full code of your script.

What you write is nonsense.

There is no function File.openDlg()

there is File.openDialog()

If you write something like this

File().OpenDlg()

or

a = File();

a.openDlg();

then you will get what you see now - tmp00000001

I have no intention of showing the full code, which totals several thousand lines.

"Nonsense", eh?

I was quoting as per the ESTK Objext Model Viewer: "File.openDlg (prompt: string , filter:any, multiSelect: Boolean 😞 File"

Why show all the code? It's not interesting. Only the line with "File.openDlg". If you have a different code (without the text: "File.openDlg"), then ask a specific question. I indicated the reason for the occurrence of tmp00000001. This is when you instantiate a file without specifying a path.

P.S. What you read and quote in some estk viewer is clear to you?
