Remember last browse location without changing CWD using axlDMFileBrowse()

SambaKantipudi

Hello All,

I have a skill that interacts with form to select .art films.

I would like the skill to remember the last browse location without changing the current working directory, until the form is closed.

 (case (myform->curField)
  ("artTopBrowse"
   artFilmTop = axlDMFileBrowse("ALLEGRO_PHOTOPLOT" nil)
   (when artFilmTop
     axlFormSetField(myform "artTop" artFilmTop)
   )
  )
)

After reviewing the algroskill.pdf, I passed ?noSticky t to the axlDMFileBrowse, but for some reason, it didn't work. Adding ?directorySet t also didn't help.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks

BR

Samba

    I have checked this on windows, if you enable change Directory checkbox,  

    this will take you to the last browsed location

    artFilmTop = axlDMFileBrowse("ALLEGRO_PHOTOPLOT" nil)
