Hi there! I like to know if there's away(or maybe that will be possible in future) to retunr empty path with FileReq()function... I think that will be much practic and nice if I can choose also empty dirs(or also full but without select any file) and get back the current path without have to use PathReq()... PathReq() was usefull in other circumstances(like have to choose a dir for save or for default dir for example), but in all day use I think was better(if possible from AmigaOS functionality) to add that way of work to FileReq().

Thanks.

Simone

FileRequest() will only succeed if the user actually chooses a file. A different behaviour may be possible under AmigaOS, but certainly not under Win32 and Mac OS, that's why it will stay like it is.

Ok... But maybe you can add an Amiga-only option to do that? So in AmigaOS system it may be done... Like, for example, the RequesterType for OS4 requesters...

Thanks for reply!
