#61 Path that contains a tilde (~) result in faulty control text

[Ramon Smits]

When calling FileUpload(..).Set(..) then string argument is processed incorrectly.

Input:
"S:\~localbuild\TestLicense.xml"

Output:
"localbuild\TestLicense.xml"

It seems the '~' character cannot be used in filenames.

Hi Ramon,

Thanks for your report! What happens if you select this directory manually? Does it result in the same behavior?

Thanks, Jeroen

What is your question exactly? If you mean manually selecting it when clicking on the browse button then yes that does work.

Hi,

Should have written a test before asking you my question. And yes it fails on my machine too. I tracked down the issue and it has to do with using the SendKeys.SendWait. The ~ symbol (and {}[]+%^) are characters with a special function. In case of ~ this is translated by SendKeys as pressing the enter button......
These characters are now escaped so a valid path\filename is entered in the file upload dialog.

This will be in the next release.

Thanks for the report,
Jeroen

Nice! I use this character allot to identify folders that are not part of 'standard' deployments. :)
