How do I use "tv_ReqFile" ?

How do I use tv_ReqFile?

http://wiki.tvpaint.com/index.php?title=Tv_ReqFile" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Code: Select all

tv_ReqFile "title|path|name|extension"
I'm not sure what to do with this...

I need to request the user to point me to a .txt file that I've created with a different programme. So I know what it's path is. But tv_ReqFile opens a dialog with a "Save" button instead of "Open". Also, is there a way to have it start at the folder where the current project is saved?

You can modify this basic Function to open on last used file location

Thanks!

It's still weird though...

I need the user to point the script to a *.anme file. But it's a "Save" button in the requester window, and when you select the file it asks "Do you really want to save and replace?". And when you press YES, it doesn't save anything...

It works though, I can parse all the info I need from the Anme file. :)
