I have a problem with the OpenDialog on Mac OS10.7.5 with the current XOJO. It actually started with RB, but I’m not sure when.
The problem I imagine is with the dialog’s Preview. If the text file is too large (78kb versus something like 10 or 30 kb), the dialog crashes the debugger before the file preview is loaded.
The OpenDialog also has a unique a shape. It fills the screen vertically instead of the usual few inches tall. I can send the error report but if not needed then…
What is going wrong?
post a snippet of code please.
I have dozens of projects using OpenDialog, and have used from them with various versions of OSX with no issue at all
Dim dlgf As FolderItem
Dim dlg as New OpenDialog
dlg.InitialDirectory= MnStuff.DocFolder
dlg.Filter = "Text" //displays open-file dialog ("txt;rtf;csv")
dlg.PromptText = PrmptTxt //this is passed via a function call
dlgf=dlg.ShowModal
I agree. It makes no sense to me.
The problem of the dialog has progressed to crashing the debugger. I’d include the whole text of the report or just pieces. It is crashing though at that line at the end. It opens the dialog in that full size I described, but doesn’t even complete the dialog. I select a file and it crashes. Suggestions?
This sounds the same as my earlier post.
I had to turn off automatic generation of an icon preview in OSX.
Its not just Xojo.

Good Idea, but it didn’t work for me. It has something to do with me resizing the dialog window. I made it very large one time and it never reset. I’ve had this for some versions of xojo-RB and Mac, because it was all ported.
Another wierd problem is I’m not getting notifications.
Here’s the report for what it’s worth or some of it

I found the work around. Change the name of the project and then the size of the OpenDialog reverts to the original.
My problem is I don’t understand how to characterize this as a bug in feedback. Suggestions.
This almost sounds like the OS X app plist (~User/Preferences) got corrupted. Renaming the app might force OS X to create a new one.
Sorry. That’s what I did. I guess that’s how I file it. Resizing the OpenDialog can cause corruption of the OS X app plist (~User/Preferences) . I did a check and nothing is similar, but there are lots of topics for OpenDialog.
I’ll add another.
It’s happening again. The dialog is large again. Maybe it’s because I compiled it and ran it from the same directory, but whatever. How do I get rid of those corrupted hidden files?
