Hi Michael,

Is there a way to set the initial directory when doing moi.filesystem.getOpenFileName() and moi.filesystem.getSaveFileName()? I'm trying set something up where the initial directory for open is persisted separately from that for save like for when I'm interactively opening STEP files from one directory and saving 3DM's out to a different directory.

Hi peer, yes moi.filesystem.getOpenFileName() and moi.filesystem.getSaveFileName() each can take 3 function arguments:

Arg 0 - required - string for dialog title
Arg 1 - required - string for file extension filters:
// The filter string has entries separated by the pipe | character, with
// the entries in pairs with a label first and then a filter next, for example:
// 'Point files (*.txt, *.xyz, *.csv)|*.txt;*.xyz;*.csv|All files (*.*)|*.*'

Arg2 - optional - string for filename to initialize with.


You should be able to send in a directory path for the initialize filename arg.

Sweet! Thanks for documenting the optional 3rd parameter Michael and for making it an option in the first place.
