The extensions of dialog and the path of dialog

[xueweiwujxw]

Hello, I wanna open a dialog to select a file with any extensions.

let select = await open({
    title: title,
    multiple: false,
    directory: false,
    defaultPath: await localDataDir(),
    filters: [
      { name: '*', extensions: ['*'] },
    ],
  });

I set the filters as * extensions. However, I can not find the file I want.
And I want to open a folder that is the latest path, what is the value of defaultPath I should set?
Please help us. Thanks a lot.

I'd suggest just removing the filters property all together, this way it really should list all files.

And I want to open a folder that is the latest path

You'd have to keep track of it yourself. Like store the last used path somewhere and then set it as the defaultPath dynamically (remoing the file itself from the path, it should point to the folder)

Thanks. And are there any suggestions to store the last path? Using rust to store the path and listening to the events of the front end?

Yeah that could work, sessionstorage/localstorage probably works too.

Yeah. I use SQLite to save the last path for persistent storage
