How to set up File object filters?

[RGBreality]

Hey, folks!

I have a silly question, since it would seem so easy: How do I properly set up File object filters?

For example, in trying to set up three audio format filters (MP3, OGG, and WAV), I am using this syntax in the File object's Filter action:

"MP3 Files|*.mp3;*.ogg|OGG Files|*.wav|WAV Files"


However, only the MP3 and OGG format filters function from the run-time File object dialog box (meaning, you can select those filter types from the drop-down menu).

So, what am I doing wrong in setting up additional filters?

Thank you very much for your help!

You switch from Name|Extension to Extension|Name half way through?

Hey, Dynasoft!

If I set up the syntax like this:

"MP3 Files|*.mp3;OGG Files|*.ogg;WAV Files|*.wav"


then only the MP3 file filter works; the OGG and WAV file filters display on the same line in the "File Type" combo box at run-time.

Pretty sure you should be using | not ;

Hi RGBreality,

the ";" should be use to separate differents extension but the same description example:

Image|*.jpg;*.png;*.bmp|URL|*.htm;*.html|... but you should separate using | for each type.

Hope its helps you
