When using "Choose file" (or Choose File Name or Choose Folder) is it
possible to control the starting folder for the dialog?
Also, is it possible to select multiple files?
Perhaps there is another osax that gives these capabilities?
Under OSX, yes.
The Satimage osax, a free osax for OSX, does that. For instance, here
is the entry for "navchoose file":
navchoose file : choose file with navigation services
navchoose file
[with prompt string] -- a prompt to be displayed in
the file chooser
[of type a list of string] -- restrict the files
shown to only these file types
[starting at alias] -- the default file or folder
[multiple files boolean] -- allow multiple files
selection (default true)
[show packages boolean] -- (default true)
[open packages boolean] -- (default false)
Result : a list of alias -- the chosen files
The Satimage includes:
navchoose file
navchoose folder
navchoose object (i.e.: a file or a folder)
navchoose volume
navask save
navchoose file name
navnew folder
Satimage osax' home page is:
