Howdy,

I've noticed that in R12, when saving a file over an existing file, when you click on the "Save" button in the file selector dialog box, you don't get an alert dialog asking you to confirm that you want to overwrite the file.

Is this a bug in R12's Filename::FileSelect() function, or do I need to set some kind of flag in my code? In previous versions the alert dialog automatically pops up.

Adios,
Cactus Dan

I can confirm this. In which version is this still working? I tested R12 and R11.5.

cheers,

Howdy,

I just checked R11.004 on Mac and it's working there.

Have you passed a file type extension string in FileSelect()? This is necessary to make it work.

Something like this:

fn.FileSelect(FILESELECTTYPE_ANYTHING, FILESELECT_SAVE, "Save", "bmp")

In my code I'm only passing the title string to FileSelect().

I'm using:

fn.SetSuffix("fbx");

... to set the file type extension.

In R12 do I need to do both, pass the file type extension string in FileSelect() and use SetSuffix()? Or, do I only have to use SetSuffix() for versions prior to R12?

My code is using preprocessor directives:

#if API_VERSION < 12000
#else
#endif

... and I'm calling SetSuffix() after the #endif.

Howdy,

OK, passing the file type extension string for R12 does bring up the warning alert about name conflicts, but there still seems to be a bug, in that the file selector dialog closes out before the warning alert pops up.

This shouldn't happen because if users do not want to save over the existing file, then the file selector dialog should stay open so they can go back and rename it.

The way it is now, users will have to call the export again from the beginning if they don't want to overwrite an existing file. 

I only tested this on Mac R12.021.

Adios,
