Summary:
ability to select a directory in file chooser
Original submission:
Currently, the BioLegato file chooser will only allow you to select a file in the file chooser. eg.

var "protfile"
type file
label "MULTIPLY-ALIGNED PROTEIN FILE"
default ""

I would also like to be able to select a directory eg.

var "protfile"
type directory
label "MULTIPLY-ALIGNED PROTEIN FILE"
default ""


BioLegato should also give an error message if type is file and you select directory, or type is directory and you select a file.

The file chooser refuses to select a directory. I think there is a simple API switch that tells the chooser whether you want to select a file or a directory.

See birch --> File --> Switch

For an example. This works if you type in the name of the directory (eg. /home/psgendb) but the file chooser won't let you select a directory.

One other thing: Notice that in the "BIRCH directory" text box, "$BIRCH" is shown, rather than the value that the environment variable evaluates to. 		08/11/12 14:33 B_Fristensky
One change from the below PCD code -- instead of type directory, the implementation uses type dir, as follows:

var "protfile"
type dir
label "MULTIPLY-ALIGNED PROTEIN FILE"
default ""
