Hello,
when using: ask file "foo" with tFile
tFile may be: "C:\foo\foo.txt"
Win XP opens the file dialog, showing as location the folder of the given
tFile (C:\foo\) and prompting for the filename as in tFile (foo.txt)
Win 7 opens the file dialog, showing as location my standalone folder
(C:\program files\blabla\mystandalone.exe) and prompting for the filename
with the full path and filename (C:\foo\foo.txt) This behavior is very
irritating, because you see another folder, as the file is located. I use it
for writing a file afterwards. It works because of the full file path , but
you don't get what you see.
Is this change Win 7 standard or is it a Rev thing or do I oversee anything?
Thanks for any hints
Tiemo
