Hi All, @curtisw

Python’s BrowseForFolder dialog is always behind the Rhino window.
Its a critical bug which can mess up a lot.
V8, V9, Python 3

Thanks, Jess

Hi @Jess,

I’m not able to repeat here on Windows. Can you provide a simple test script that we can test?

Thanks,

Hi Dale,

I checked again and now it works in Win Rhino V8 from _EditPythonScript and _ScriptEditor.

In Rhino WIP running the sample script in _ScriptEditor has the bug:

#! python 3
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
folder = rs.BrowseForFolder("C:\\Program Files\\" )
if folder: print(folder)
