API: GetUserFilenameForRead issue on High Sierra

Lokasenna · 08-05-2019, 02:50 PM

(I'll apologize in advance for not being able to help narrow this down, as I don't have access to a Mac)

One of my scripts' users let me know this morning that they couldn't select files in the dialog provided by GetUserFilenameForRead; they could navigate folders, but files were all greyed out. The user is running OSX High Sierra, and I suspect the problem might be OS- or version-specific.

My code:

Code:

ret, path = reaper.GetUserFileNameForRead("", "Select a file", "")

I've also tried nil for the last argument, which predictably crashes, and * which works fine here on Linux but still had the same issue on High Sierra.

My scene detect script now seems to suffer from same problem when it open a dialog asking for location of ffprobe.

I'm pretty sure that dialog used to work.

Oops yes, fixing.
