How to handle "preset://" in filenames

I am dragging a Content browser file to a customgui file input.
However, when I drag e.g. "preset://broadcast.lib4d/Resources/Images/pictures/IMG_0605.jpg" to this field, the input is displayed in the field, but the length is 0.I think this has to do again with "preset://".
Because when I delete that part manual from the input file, the length is >0 (thus ok).So, how to handle this sort of filenames?
GUI part self.file = self.AddCustomGui(MY_HDRFILE, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME, "", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 0) Input part if (id == MY_HDRFILE) : hdrfilename = self.GetString(MY_HDRFILE) print "hdrfilename: ", hdrfilename, len(hdrfilename) return True -

After some more testing, I think, it could en another issue / I'm doing something wrong.
So, not 'preset://" related, but a functionality issues.The thing is, I drag the file to the CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME field.
And it seems that dragging into the field is not recognized.
Typing or selecting is ok, but dragging apprently not.I used the CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME because I want to drag the to a link field.
In the normal link field you can only drag objects and materials into the field.All I want is to drag a picture from the content browser into my plugin / my linkfield.
It should be possible. The Material manager is doing it too. -

Call manually GeDialog.Command() with the filename ID in your dialog when you recieve a
drag and drop message for your filename gadget. -

Ok, I tried it. See below.
But (of course?) it started looping.
I guess this is not what you mean?def Command(self, id, msg) : print id #Prints the ID of the UA if (id == 1012) : print "file: ", self.GetString (1012) self.Command(1012, msg) return True -

Not in the Command() , in the Message() method.
def Message(self, msg, res) : if msg.GetId() == c4d.MSG_DRAGANDDROP: self.Command(c4d.MSG_DRAGANDDROP, c4d.BaseContainer()) [...] def Command(self, id, msg) : if id == c4d.MSG_DRAGANDDROP: # do something [...]Something like this. This will call Command() each time a gadget receives a drag and drop
message in your dialog. To only react to a specific gadgets you have to unpack the msg
container in the message method and then pass that id to command. -

I think the code LD posted is more designed for a Node based plugin. Not a GeDialog.
I've used the filename gizmo in one of my examples.

When a msg id does not work / is not received. Simply print all ids and then search after them.
You can do this in c4d by searching in the c4d __dict__ . Personally i have a small macro in
sublime text which produces a agent ransack search string out of the c4d console output (strip
everything not a number, kill doubles and connect everything with an OR).agent ransack will come up with that for your plugin :
resource\coffeesymbols.h 173,00 KB 19.04.2013 11:20:42
5798 BFM_GETCURSORINFO=1667853926,
5830 BFM_GOTFOCUS=1648838211,
5831 BFM_LOSTFOCUS=1649165891,
5870 BFM_ACTION=1648444244,
5893 BFM_ACTIVE_CHG=1648444231,
5981 BFM_CORE_MESSAGE=1298360653,
5994 BFM_INTERACTSTART=1768846433,
5995 BFM_INTERACTEND=1768846437,
6028 BFM_FADE_REMOVEALL=1178682437,so to fix your plugin you have to do this :
def Command(self, id, msg) : if (id == 1012) : print "file: ", self.GetString (1012) return True def Message(self, msg, result) : if (msg.GetId() == c4d.BFM_ACTION) : cid = msg[c4d.BFM_ACTION_ID] val = msg[c4d.BFM_ACTION_VALUE] print 'Msg ID:', cid, ' Val:', val self.SetString(cid, val) return gui.GeDialog.Message(self, msg, result)edit : and to be extra clear before someone starts complaining, the fixed code is super
unsafe due laziness, practically you have to check both the action id and value if they are
valid. you could do this by passing it to command(). -

Thank you very much.
Also thanks for the patience.
I''ll try to do something back, by putting python tutorials on my blog.Thanks again. I keep learning good stuff from you and this forum.
