Installation Locations Browse Buttons misbehaving

Hi Folks,

 

The browse buttons for the three Installation Folders under Advanced Build Parameters -> Installation Locations are all set to 'Select existing file' instead of 'Select existing folder'.

It would also be great if pressing the browse button would open the already typed folder, although that might mean having to handle the browse button separately.

 

Cheers,

Heiko

Hello Heiko,

 

Thanks for the great feedback.

Good catch. I've filed a bug for this, here:

  • 5938 - Custom Installation Location file browse buttons should be set to "existing folder"

> It would also be great if pressing the browse button would open the already typed folder, although that might mean having to handle the browse button separately.

This is a great idea. This can easily be done by setting the Browse Options --> Start Path (which is a VI Server property of the Path control).

  • 5939 - Installation Locations browse buttons should have start path set to current value

Thanks,

Heiko,

 

This one ends up being slightly more difficult, because the custom installation locations expect pathroots (e.g., , , etc.). We're planning to improve the usability of this feature in a future release. However, for the various other path controls on the Advanced Settings dialog, setting the Start Path is very easy and you can expect improvements there very soon ;)

 

Thanks,
