TK Directory question

[Harry Truax]

Hello,

I am working on a GUI that allows the user to select a file to work on. =
I am using Tk.getOpenFile to do this. I would like the application to =
'remember' the file path from the last time they selected a file, so =
that the user does not have to browse to the same location over and =
over. I cannot find any info on how to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Harry

Hi,
a way is

1) memorize into a var the last directory:

file = Tk.getOpenFile
@last_dir = File.dirname(file) if !file.nil?

2) use the option 'initialdir' of Tk.getOpenFile

file = Tk.getOpenFile('initialdir'=>@last_dir)
