OpenFileName with .obj filter still includes folders

Terry_Chappell · February 27, 2023, 5:26am

To import the .obj file of a mesh in my Python script use:

# Select .obj file to import.
filtr = 'OBJ Files (*.obj)|*.obj||'
strPath = rs.OpenFileName('OBJ file to import', filtr)

with the OpenFileName popup window typically looking like this:

Is there a way to suppress the File Folder entry. This does not even contain .obj files.

Regards,
Terry.

In the end, the Windows GetOpenFileName C++ SDK function is used.

In C#, you can use the OpenFileDialog wrapper class.

I don’t know if there is a way to suppress folders…

Dale,

Thanks for your detailed response. I may just learn to live with the folders showing up. I think its considered a feature.

Terry.
