- Thread-topic: Satimage OSAX 64-bit compatible?
What I need to do is present a dialog box for the user to choose multiple
files and/or folders out of a directory from a certain point in a file
server. What should be returned is a list of aliases (or ?) of what the
user selected. The navchoose object command works well because I don't
know ahead of time whether the user wants to chose a folder or a file or
both. It was a hybrid of the built in 'choose folder' and 'choose file'
commands. Is there a better way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
Jim
