choice path button

Submitted by kredka on Tue, 2013-11-12 13:51

I need for my script new window with 15 buttons, if you press it, it will ask you to pick some folder. After this
localisation will be keep and check-update olways whan script is lanch.
Maybe info about localisation should be save to txt file?
When I press another button "DELETE FILES"
files in picked filders and sub folders will be delited. Can anybody help me with this, I can't figure this out by my slef.
It's imporatant that buttons should remember localisation even after max restart.

Did you read the script?
I did not tell you that you have to create the ini file.
This

local foldersPathIni = "D:\\FolderSettingsIni.ini"

shows where the ini file will be created. Do you have D: drive on your HDD and it is accessable via maxscript(because you can't create files, using maxscript, on C: drive(where mine/your OS is installed)).
So, run the script, go to D: drive and check if you have FolderSettingsIni.ini file.
I can make a video to show you that the code works.

Probably the best solution will be .net + xml for storing paths

The deleted files and folders can't be restored using the Recycle Bin.
Add as many buttons as you want.
