#50 File selection does not show all folders

[Flow86]

Hi,

in file dialogs not all folders are shown, even if the json-answer contains all items.

i.e

in config:
var $browserRestrictFolders = array('/home/vbox/VirtualBox VMs', '/home/shared/iso');

json answer is

[{"expanded":false,"selected":false,"path":"\/home\/vbox\/VirtualBox VMs","name":"\/home\/vbox\/VirtualBox
VMs","type":"folder","children":[]},[{"expanded":false,"selected":false,"path":"\/home\/shared\/iso
\/debian","name":"debian","type":"folder","children":[]},{"expanded":false,"selected":false,"path":"
\/home\/shared\/iso\/windows","name":"windows","type":"folder","children":[]}]]

The only directory shown in dialogs is "'/home/vbox/VirtualBox VMs".

If I remove the directory from the list, no directory is shown in the dialogs

that worked in old 4.x versions

aahh - I now now what the problem is:

in "Optical Media" Tab I can only select vhd etc files, in "Harddrive" tab only iso files. The selection seems to be swapped

I am unable to reproduce this. Can you attach your config.php (without passwords of course)? Also, which web browser are you using?

[Flow86]

Try the following:

Open Manager for virtual media

• in Hard-disks-tab: try to add an existing vdi/vmdk: you can only select iso/"optical media"-files
• in Optical-disks-tab: try to add an iso: you can only select vdi/vmdk

the same problem occurs if you try to set a media for a cdrom drive while editing a virtual machine

I have the same problem: In VM settings on Mass Storage tab when browsing for a HDD (SATA in my case) only the folder containing ISO files is shown, when browsing for ISO files to attach to an optical drive only virtual disks are shown.

Screenshot 2 (Optical disk selection):

Config.php

System:
Arch Linux 64-bit 4.2.5 (up-to-date)
VirtualBox 5.0.10_OSE
phpVirtualBox 5.0-3

I see now. I missed that this is when using the browserRestrictFolders setting. I think that is where the bug is.

@slaecker are you using the restrict folders setting in config.php as well?

[slaecker]

Sorry for being late.

In the Config.php linked above I have:

// Restrict locations / folders
var $browserRestrictFolders = array('/srv/images','/srv/vms');

But as I saw you already fixed the issue. I'll try the new release at weekend.

Fixed in latest release.
