RE: CS-Studio: File Manager configuration when executing external command

["Zhang, Tong via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Kay, I’m talking about CS-Studio on Eclipse, not Phoebus.

 

The difference is the highlighted in the box, where I created a bookmark called datafiles, but it could not be seen in the Open dialog in CS-Studio, I forgot to mention, it is not necessary happening with external app calling, but from any Open action from CS-Studio, e.g. Open an OPI through the menu.

 

I also tested against Phoebus, it works without such issue. But I’m looking for a solution for CS-Studio.

 

Thanks,

Tong

> After the external application is started up through the “Execute Command” action of an ActionButton, everything looks to be working well, but when doing the save/open businesses through the external app interface, it seems that the current user File Manager configuration is not being honored, e.g. you cannot see any bookmarked locations on the pop-up file/directory open dialog

 

Not sure what the difference is, but that works for me in the most recent version of CS-Studio, i.e. the one that no longer relies on Eclipse.

The relevant code should be https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/blob/57a1379045d318c08763abd352737b16dec53e64/app/display/runtime/src/main/java/org/csstudio/display/builder/runtime/ActionUtil.java#L268, which then calls this https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/blob/master/core/framework/src/main/java/org/phoebus/framework/jobs/CommandExecutor.java

 

I've opened gedit, added a "tmp" bookmark to its file locator.

Then I opened CS-Studio/phoebus, opened the example displays, "Actions", "Open *.def file" which on Linux opens gedit, opened the file locator in gedit -> It shows the "tmp" bookmark.
