[Gambas-user] Different behaviour of dialog

[Willy Raets]

Hi all,

Someone on the GambasForum stumbled upon a problem with dialog.
When trying to help him with an example, the code that worked for me,
did not work for him.

To explain:
Assume you have a folder test in your User.Home:

  Dialog.Path = User.Home & "/test"
  If Dialog.SaveFile() Then Return

In my application, above code opens a dialog in folder test, in his
application it opened User.Home and assumed test is the name for the new
file.

After looking I discovered the difference.

Running above code:
WITHOUT gb.from.dialog -> opens folder test
WITH gb.form.dialog -> opens User.Home and assumes test is file name

In the last case. adding a "/" at the end of the path opens folder test

I tried to check the documentation if this is intentional, but it seems
to be offline again.

Can anyone explain why this difference in behaviour?
