Linux Issues opening KBM and SCL files

[tank-trax]

when opening an SCL or KBM file on Windows it will open in the default Dexed folder

%USERNAME%/Application Data/DigitalSuburban/Dexed/

and display the correct file type

selecting SCL

selecting KBM

on Linux the folder that is opened is~/and it allows for All Files without filtering, whether KBM or SCL is selected

ideally it would open the default folder

~/.local/share/DigitalSuburban/Dexed

and allow for filter by file type

this may be of help, in the file

dexed/libs/vst3sdk/vstgui4/vstgui/lib/cfileselector.cpp

const CFileExtension& CNewFileSelector::getAllFilesExtension ()
{
	static CFileExtension allFilesExtension ("All Files", "");
	return allFilesExtension;
}

So I’m just using the juce api to do this but perhaps I can figure out a patch to juce using the breadcrumbs you have given here!!

Oh and this is in the standalone or in a daw? Thanks!!

Either/Or. It behaves the same as a VST or Standalone.

[tank-trax]

for the file locations looks to be in Source/PluginData.cpp around line 483
void DexedAudioProcessor::resolvAppDir()

haven't deciphered how or where to get the file association filtered :-)

also for the files it's easy enough to delete All Files and manually type in .scl which will filter by extension

[baconpaul]

dexed/Source/PluginProcessor.cpp

Line 814 in 5fed48b

FileChooser fc( "Please select an KBM File", File(), "*.kbm" );

So this is where the open happens. The problem is basically that it seems the linux JUCE API is ignoring the filter setting in the dialog. I’ll poke at that one day and see if there’s anything I’m missing in how I call it

I noticed that section too and...

Please select a KBM File

Please select an SCL File
