[Gambas-user] Error FileChooser?

[Tony Morehen]

Sorry for the blank post.  Here's what's what I forgot:

I don't know what you are using to check the contents of the clipboard 
but FileChooser does copy a list of file path and names to the clipboard 
using the mime type "text/uri-list".  Perhaps what you are using only 
recognizes "text/plain"?

text/uri-list is a string with a line for each selected file in the 
format "file://" & URLQuote(path) & CRLF

If the DirList (left panel) has the focus, the current directory is the 
sole content of the list, again in the above format.

Multi=False has no impact other than to limit the number of selected 
files to one.

Copy is straightforward, which, I assume, is why it's included in the 
standard FileChooser menu.  Paste, however, is much more complex and is 
best handled by the overall program.  ie FileChooser doesn't even 
understand the difference between a simple copy and paste or cut and paste
