EDM displays a file chooser window if it cannot locate the specified file when EDM is first executed. All users are familiar with that and perhaps you can find a way to make use of it so the path used puts you in the correct directory. On Linux systems there is often in the distribution a collection of widgets that are part of a utility 'zenity' which is generally useful when writing shell scripts. These are not elegant solutions, but I have used them in the past when I could not find a better way.

Subject: File Chooser
I have written a soft IOC which reads data from a disk file and places values read into EPICS records. A few EDM screens are used to display the data...
All of this works fine.
There a number of disk files to choose from.
I have implemented a simple way to specify the file name using a waveform record and a text control. This scheme is very difficult to use.
I think that EDM does not provide a file name chooser dialog. Is that true?
If so, has anyone implemented some EDM widget which could be used to choose a file name from existing files on a disk drive?
Thanks in advance,
Zen
