App Developer Expose to top level for variable not working

Hi Ben

On my App I have 2 shape as mesh and I set the propertie mesh to " Expose to top level"
It's working perfect even in the deployd App version.

So I (the user also) can change the shape (mesh) while runing the App. Suport with a browsing to get the new mesh for each shape it's working perfect.


This should also work with a variable "filename_fmv" but when I choose "Expose to top level" there, the variable doesn't appear.

Now one more wish from me...
But then a browsing should appear the same as with file mesh for the shape, but then as .FMV by default. When I have finished selecting, I can open this .FMV file with my app with pressing a button "load_FMVfile".

At the moment i always have to open the same file with the same name because i can't browsing and choose

regards


Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I don't know if this helps, but in the latest update for v10 you can set a filename property to have a default file extension when the file dialog is opened. You set it up similar to the following:
