Hoy, Hopefully a simple problem here:)

Atm I load objects into my scene from a folder on the computer.
However I'd like to load from the ContentBrowser.

If I make a "hard" path I get the object such as:

  
path->SetFullString("preset://SteadyCAMPRO303.lib4d/SCPROv303");

everything work fine.

But to follow the safe, platform independent way I'm trying to set a correct path,
such as:

  
var path;   
var loaddocname = "NameOfObject";   
// Look in UserPrefs -> Browser   
{   
println("Search User Browser");   
path = GeGetStartupWritePath();   
path->AddLast("library");             if(!GeFileExist(path,TRUE)) {println("User Library folder not found");return;}   
path->AddLast("browser");             if(!GeFileExist(path,TRUE)) {println("User Browser folder not found");return;}   
   // path->AddLast("preset://");             if(!GeFileExist(path,TRUE)) {println("User Preset folder not found");return;}   
path->AddLast("steadycampro303");         
path->SetSuffix("lib4d");              if(!GeFileExist(path,TRUE)) {println("User steadycampro303.lib4d not found");return;}   
path->AddLast(loaddocname);   
}

but get an error that the lib file is not found.
I suppose the "preset://" part ( out commented here) is the culprit?
How to access the :// part in the path?

Cheers
Lennart

Am I thinking wrong here?
Or can I use the hard links as within a regular browser?

I am afraid you have to use Filename->SetFullString() in this case.

cheers,

Thanks, I see.

I don't have a Window machine to try with, how would the following
be written so it get's correct in Windows?

  
path->SetFullString("preset://SteadyCAMPRO303.lib4d/SCPROv303");

This should be ok. Windows accepts forward slashs. Just make if you use backslashs in strings you have to use double backslashs for each single backslash.

for example

println("c:\\test.c4d");

prints

c:	est.c4d
