New API: Server and FileSystem

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart ok audio files work but desktop not :)

constant not found: FileSystem.Desktop {SW50ZXJmYWNlfHwyMzJ8MTB8NjU=}

Is there option to show file name of object?

[Christoph Hart]

Damn that‘s annoying ;)

Change line 4389 from 6 to 9, it ran out of the predefined slots...

[Christoph Hart]

Never mind, I've fixed it, so you can just pull.

[arminh]

@Christoph-Hart thanks! :) And how to exctract name or path from object? I don't see any method in API to do this :)
Using trace gives me empty Interface log.

@Christoph-Hart thanks a lot. I also used Filename but the result is the same as with FullPath.

Using this

for (f in files)
{
    var p = f.toString(Filename);
    audioArr.push(p);
}

gives me links like this

"/Users/armin/Library/Application Support/My Company/test/filez/pluck5.wav",

@Christoph-Hart can you add option to set own headers in Server API?

[Christoph Hart]

There already is Server.setHttpHeader:

Is there a way to set the FileSystem.browse() startFolder to be a sub-folder?
I'm looking to use a button to browse to the UserPresets folder of an Expansion.

FileSystem.Expansions

gets me to the root..

I've tried:

FileSystem.Expansions.UserPresets
FileSystem.Expansions/UserPresets

no go.

@dustbro

I think you just need to do something like this:

var folder = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Expansions).getChildFile("UserPresets");
FileSystem.browse(folder, false, "", function() {});

Is there anything special I have to do while using getParentDirectory?

I'm trying to get the directory of a file, but it's returning the full file path with file name.
e.g. C://Folder/audio.wav

Same as if I call FullFilePath

@dustbro Example please

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey Trying to get a label to display the parent directory of some audio files.

const var DirectoryLabel = Content.getComponent("DirectoryLabel");
const var Browse = Content.getComponent("Browse");

const var FullPath = [];
const var ParentDirectory = [];

inline function onBrowseControl(component, value)
{
    if(value) //if button clicked
    {
        //open file broswer
        FileSystem.browseForDirectory("", function(directory)
            {
                
                local files = FileSystem.findFiles(directory, "*.wav", false);

                for(f in files)
                {
                    FullPath.push(f.toString(File.FullPath));                   //push full path
                    ParentDirectory.push(f.toString(File.getParentDirectory));  //push parent directory
                }
            });     
               
    }
	
};

Content.getComponent("Browse").setControlCallback(onBrowseControl);

[d.healey]

The toString() function takes a single number as a parameter, for example File.FullPath is a built in constant that returns 0 - you can test this with Console.print(File.FullPath);. Docs - https://docs.hise.audio/scripting/scripting-api/file/index.html#tostring

File.getParentDirectory() returns a file object. Passing this to the toString() function which expects an integer is going to give the same result as passing the number 0 or undefined to toString() because it doesn't know what to do with a file object.

What you probably want is ParentDirectory.push(f.getParentDirectory().toString(File.FullPath));
