Assign a picture in OS X is difficult

Sometimes I have to assign a location to a picture when I open my project.
In Windows the title bar shows the name of the picture to be assigned.
In OS X it’s guessing what picture needs to be assigned.
No name of the picture is shown.

Is this a known bug?

A known OS X limitation.

Yeah thank Apple
Or use a version of OS X that doesn’t have all these nice “UI improvements” :slight_smile:

Or ask Xojo to replace the Dialog with a selfmade one. :wink:

And get it theme correct across many versions of OS X ?
Yuck

That panel is the OpenDialog from the framework - nothing more - so it looks correct on all versions
Thats why I say I know this is Apples doing
On 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 is has the title (dont recall about 10.10)
10.11 its missing
No change in anything else - just the version of OS X I’ve booted

That is particularly annoying if one has a series of pictures missing in a project.

It is possible to display a notification requesting the file at the same time as the open dialog. It would not break older versions of the system. Simply be redundant.

Dialogs with dialogs ???

Better than nothing. And a notification is not a dialog BTW, unless I am mistaken…

Maybe a window with a list of the missing items in the order of requests? :slight_smile:

Or better, a Window with a list of missing items and a Button beneath each item to start the “locate this item” process?

Because i know what comes next, i made a Feature Request :wink:

We had the same discussion here: Missing File dialog has no prompt - macOS - Xojo Programming Forum with another feedback case: <https://xojo.com/issue/40634> where I proposed a fix.

(In short: Use prompttext, not title. It’s working under OS X.)

This is perfect.

Norman ? Do you think that is feasible ?

there’s at least 4 or 5 reports about the exact same thing

Then time has come, has it not?

To merge all those cases ?
Yes

or just go read the case link I posted ?

reading that reminds me why I use Xojo :stuck_out_tongue:

But couldn’t you redirect the title to promptext when OS X > 10.10? Or is it no standard open dialog?
