ddsFileBrowseCB getting cache file name not the actual file name

Hi,

I am having an issue on my code which uses a ddsFileBrowseCB function but it is getting the cache file name and not the actual file name.

hiCreateFormButton(

?name 'drcBrowse

?buttonText "Browse"

?enabled nil

?callback "ddsFileBrowseCB(hiGetCurrentForm() 'drcRunset \"*.runset.*\" 'existingFile)"

)

I can see and browse the files properly but after I select it, it is showing the cache file name where the runsets are softlinked to.

Is there any option to get the real actual file name (.runset) if the file is linked to a cache server?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Alvin

Alvin,

As I mentioned in this other post thread, I filed a request in the last week or so to stop ddsFileBrowseCB from expanding symbolic links, and it was fixed in IC6.1.8/ICADVM20.1 ISR24 which should be available 25th March 2022.

Hi Andrew,

Oops sorry I was not aware of it. Thanks for your reply. I will wait for the IC6.1.8/ICADVM20.1 ISR24.

Thank you and stay safe.

Best regards,

Alvin

Alvin,

Another possibility would be to use the hiCreateFileSelectorField function which creates a string field with a built-in button to launch the linked browser. This doesn't expand the symbolic links. Full details on using it are in the documentation - but at least with this you wouldn't need to wait until ISR24.
