[1.1.4] Win: popFile only allows sikuli folders to be seleted --- save script first or say ESC to script-save dialog --- fixed 2018-09-21

[Ryan]

When I write a Sikuli script to open a dialog to let me choose a folder location, the IDE will only allow me to choose a sikuli folder.

This is my script:
------
test = popFile("Choose a folder")

print(test)
------

REPRO:

1. Load Sikuli 1.1.4 (2018-09-19_07:17) onto a Win 10 64bit machine
2. Download the Jython-standalone-2.7.0.JAR and place it in the AppData/Roaming/Sikulix/Extensions folder
          (unsure if this is needed)
3. Open Sikuli and write a script as described above

RESULT:

Selecting a non-sikuli folder pops a message saying 'This is not a valid sikuli script'.

EXPECTED:

The user would be able to select any folder

Digging through the Answers backlog, I found a question that was solved back in 2016:

I didn't see a related bug to re-open.

If you run this script in an undefined tab (not yet saved), you first get the script-save dialog.

This might have irritated you ;-)

If you get over this dialog (either dismiss or handle), then you get your intended file dialog.

Hi RaiMan,

I went back and recreated my one line script from above.

I made sure to save the script (I clicked the Run button, then saved the script as a new sikuli file). The popFile dialog then appeared (I see that the dialog is titled what I specified in my script), when I choose a non-sikuli folder from here, I see the error originally reported.

I thought maybe I would have to add 'from sikuli import *', but after adding that line I still see the error.

thanks for testing. I will look into it again.

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

please test with the latest build from today

Tested against 1.1.4(2018-09-21-17:33)

This now works - thanks RaiMan!
