PB 5.10 PathRequester() does not show 'extensions'

Hi,
I use PB 5.10 x86 on Win 7 x64.
Try this
Code: Select all
PathRequester("Test with directories like Test.001", "")
With directories like:
Test.001
Test.002
You will only see
Test
Test
And if you have directories like:
Test.infratec.001
Test.infratec.002
You will see
Test.infratec
Test.infratec
The last 'extension' is always not shown.

Do you have "hide extensions for known file types" enabled?

Hi,
here is the evidence:
Win7 x64 with PB 5.10 x86
The left picture shows the PathRequester, the right is Windows Explorer.

Could you check in another software which also use a path requester ? I don't think there is a flag to set to show the extensions on folders (i didn't know there was even extensions for folders..)

Hi Fred,
after thinking a bit I found one:
IrfanView Batch Processing, select output directory:
(I deleted the other directory names)

Hi infratec,
I tried you code snippet on my system: W7/64bit 5.10/64bit.
The requester shows all the extensions on directories.
Hiding known extensions, as I expected, makes no difference; they still show.
It is, perhaps, odd that others have not flagged the problem you are experiencing.

Hi davido,
the easy bugs are all fixed, only the tricky ones are left
How many peoble use such directory names?
Maybe only I.
But I use it to save my old software versions (for example).
Microsoft ways are always mystic
But it is trange that the IrfanView Requester shows the full names and the PB Requester not.
So something must be different.

I just tried this on Win 7, 64-bit, and both requesters show the ".000" part when C: was expanded:
Code: Select all
CreateDirectory_("C:\A-Test-Dir.000",0)
SHBrowseForFolder_(@dir.BROWSEINFO)
PathRequester("","C:\")
What does it show for you, infratec?

Hi Berned
Try the next snippet with then without #BIF_BROWSEFILEJUNCTIONS
and see if there is any difference
Code: Select all
#BIF_BROWSEFILEJUNCTIONS = $00010000
Procedure BrowseCallbackProc(hwnd, msg, lParam, lData)
Select msg
Case #BFFM_INITIALIZED
SendMessage_(hwnd, #BFFM_SETSELECTION, 1, lData)
EndSelect
EndProcedure
Procedure.s BrowseForFolder( Path.s)
Folder.s = Space(#MAX_PATH)
bi.BROWSEINFO
bi\ulFlags = #BIF_STATUSTEXT | #BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES|#BIF_BROWSEFILEJUNCTIONS
bi\lpfn = @BrowseCallbackProc()
bi\lParam = @Path
result.l = SHBrowseForFolder_(@bi)
SHGetPathFromIDList_(result, @Folder)
CoTaskMemFree_(result)
ProcedureReturn Folder
EndProcedure
BrowseForFolder("c:\users") ;Use your folder here

Hi MachineCode,
your example works, but... PB not

Hi MachineCode,
I was to fast.
Your example works fully. Also PB is showing the .000
Than I did some additional tests:
If I use
Code: Select all
SHBrowseForFolder_(@dir.BROWSEINFO)
PathRequester("","")
The PB Requester shows it correct too.
If I comment out the SHBrowseForFolder_() PB shows not the .xxx stuff
It looks like that something is not correct initialized.
After the first call to SHBrowseForFolder_() it is initialized and the PB Requester works Ok.

Hi infratec,
Pleased to see your problem is solved.
Incidentally Windows does not appear to treat the .001 as an extension, as attempting to rename the file highlights the whole lot.
This is a great Forum

Nothing is solved
It's 'only' a workaround.
But you are right, a big
thank you to all who are involved.
