Automatic Launching of the Browser When Creating a Node
In the ui directory:
nuiToolBoxItem(“ProxyFileIn”,
{{
const char *filename = getFileInName();
filename ? ProxyFileIn(filename,0,2) :
(image) 0
}}
);
In this example, the Browser is called for the parameter file name in the ProxyFileIn
macro. The macro has three parameters: Filename and two numbers (0 and 2). The
getFileInName function automatically launches the Browser when the user creates this
node in the interface. You can use:
• getFileInName()
• getFileOutName()
• getScriptInName()
• getScriptOutName()
Automatic Browser File Filters
In the ui directory:
gui.fileBrowser.lastImageRegexp = “*.tif” ;
gui.fileBrowser.lastScriptRegexp = “*.shk” ;
gui.fileBrowser.lastExprRegexp = “*.txt” ;
gui.fileBrowser.lastTrackerRegexp = “*.txt”;
gui.fileBrowser.lastAnyRegexp = “*”;
You can assign specific filters for the Browser for different types of Browser activity. For
example, if you only use Cineon files, you may want to use an assignment such as:
gui.fileBrowser.lastImageRegexp= “*.cin” ;
