SU7 Bug: The wildcards are not working properly if more than one is entered (e.g. ".jpg;.png") or if a directory is included. The '*' gets converted to a '_'.
I get that bug even with only one wildcard:
filename = UI.openpanel('Open CSV File', 'c:\\', '*.csv')?

And BTW I did file a new bug report on this, as a reminder.

Dan, Tom,
Thans for having filed the bug to the SU Team.
Apparently this is still not solved in SU8 M1
Note that, strangely, wildcards work in SU6, but in SU7 and SU8, we got the * replaced by an underscoreFredo

Yea - It's an annoying regression bug. Seems like it's not been considered important enough. Though I find it troublesome as it#s makes it awkward for the end user.

I tried "a.jpg".
Why ".jpg" is not listed in the "files of type"?

Someone previously showed me that it works this way.
chosen_file=UI.openpanel("Select DXF File","", "*.Dxf") -

chosen_file=UI.openpanel("Select DXF File","", "*.Dxf")And also like:
chosen_file=UI.openpanel("Select DXF File","*.Dxf")However... Windows will use it's own directory paths it automatically saves into the Registry, for each file extension.
(1) If the openpanel has never before selected a *.dxf file, then the openpanel will (likely) open in the user's My Documents folder.
(2) If the User did previously select a *.dxf file, with the openpanel, Windows will open in the Most Recently Used (MRU) path Windows saved for the *.dxf extention.
Setting the working directory via
Dir.chdirhas no effect on what directory the openpanel starts in.
