Issues with FilePicker.platform.getDirectoryPath() Dialog
Closed this issue · 2 comments
First of all, thanks for this great library. Using the native file/folder picker is excellent. I am using the library for a MacOS application and need to get the path of a selected folder. I 100% accept that the issues described below are due to some mistake I made, and I am happy to try any suggestion you might have to help me fix the problem.
Describe the bug
I used the code below to show the MacOS folder picker and capture the folder:
String? selectedDirectory = await FilePicker.platform.getDirectoryPath();
There are three problems (and please let me know if I should create one issue for each).
-
When the folder picker is displayed, the Favourites tab on the left-hand side doesn't show the current user home link but one called Data. It has the same "home" icon but it's called Data.
-
If I select Documents from the favourites tab, it doesn't display any file or subfolder. It works for other folders, like Downloads or Desktop for example, but not for Documents
-
When the folder is selected by clicking on the Choose button, the resulting path contains the full MacOS path, including the Volumes folder and the Volume name. In my case, if I select the Downloads folder, it returns the path: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/demagomes/Downloads.
Platform
- Android
- iOS
- Web
- [ X] Desktop
Platform OS version
What version did it happen?
macOS Sonoma - Version 14.3 (23D56)
How are you picking?
String? selectedDirectory = await FilePicker.platform.getDirectoryPath();
Details to reproduce the issue
- Open the getDirectoryPath dialogue box/folder picker and check the favourites tab on the left.
- Click on Documents in the left-hand side Favorites tab. when the file is opened.
