I noticed changes a while ago to my file browsers (when getCurrentFile disappeared).
I replaced getCurrentFile with getHighlightedFile … and assumed it was equivalent. It seems that get highlighted file returns empty if the user selects a directory, then types in a filename? (in save mode of course)
I looked through the class and couldn’t find another function that looked right … so I’m confused.
I’ve noticed that clicking on a file works fine (returning that file) … but if no file is highlighted, and the user has just double clicked into a directory then typed a filename into the box … it seems to come back as an empty string.
Also, you may also want to update the docs online (which still have getCurrentFile() listed).
WildcardFileFilter wildcardFilter (T("*.wav, *.mp3"), T("*"), T("audio files"));
FileBrowserComponent browser (FileBrowserComponent::saveMode | FileBrowserComponent::canSelectFiles,
File::nonexistent,
&wildcardFilter, 0);
FileChooserDialogBox dialogBox (T("Export Loops as Wav file"),
T("Please designate a location and name for these loops."),
browser, true, Colours::grey);
if (dialogBox.show())
{
File selectedFile = browser.getHighlightedFile();
juce::Logger::outputDebugString (selectedFile.getFullPathName());
File outputFile = File(browser.getHighlightedFile().getFullPathName() + String(".wav"));
** crashes here ********
it crashes on an assertion on line 175 of File.cpp (because it thinks the path is relative, since the getHighlighted File returns String::empty)
