SOURCE I am using Perl 5.8.8 on under Windows.

 

I and some other users am having intermittent problems when using the
GetOpenFile dialog (see Mastering Perl Tk pages circa 568) where the
directories and files for a selected directory are not shown.  It is not all
clear what conditions cause this since I get different results when I go to
the same directory at different times.  Neither is the �solution� constant.
For example sometimes I can get the missing list by entering a * in the File
Name �box� and sometimes I can get the list by going down one directory
level and then trying at the failing level.  However, I am never certain if
either of these will work.

 

Is there any way to prevent the problem happening.  For example can
something be �called� before using this dialog so that it behaves as wanted?

 

 

Best regards
