Hi Petrucio!

We just bought your plugin, and the load function doesn't seem to work well.
Is there something special to do before loading a saved scene?

By the way, good work for your addon.

Thanks.

Ced.

 

Hi Psyche_RTS, thanks for buying our File Browser! Sorry it took me this long to respond, I only saw your post now.

The Save and Load modes only handle the screenshots automatically - the actual saving and loading must be done by you, using the file names returned by the File Browser. There are some good packages in the asset store to help with that.

 

I did end up finding a bug in the Load mode that made it return the name of the screenshot file instead of the data file.

I'll get it fixed in an update next week.

 

will it work for mobiles? if yes i'm ready to buy this plug in...

 

@koushik.s:

Right now it doesn't work on touch-based devices. I plan on adding that to a later version, but I don't have time to do that in the near future - sorry.

 

Recently bought this and am generally happy - but I have one question: what to do to get the "Drives" to work? On MacOS and Windows this causes an error: "Unable to access drive %%ROOT%%".
I have modified some other (minor and unrelated) code in FileBrowser.cs.

Ok, I have managed to get this working on Windows by modifying (adding) some code into the FileBrowser.cs code.
Now to get the Mac side working... Let me know if I can publish the code change here for others.

 

Thanks for buying, jeroenhmg. I'll take a look into the %%ROOT%% issue tomorrow and will get back to you then.

 

Thanks Petrucio, let me know if you want to have a look at my changes (which fixed the issue for Windows)

 

Sure, you can publish them here - thanks.

I'm not sure I'll be able to get my hands on a Mac tomorrow - how soon do you need it fixed for MacOS?

 

MacOS not urgent -> client will be running exe on Windows machines.

My change for getting it to work on Windows: in the function SwitchDirectory() replace:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.         this.currentDirectory  = Path.GetFullPath(this.newDirectory);
3.  

with:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.         if (this.newDirectory == "%%ROOT%%") {
3.             this.currentDirectory = this.newDirectory;
4.         }
5.         else {
6.             this.currentDirectory = Path.GetFullPath(this.newDirectory);
7.         }
8.  

In addition to solve a weird screen corruption (error box related) that was happening when "Drives" was selected I also changed the following in OnGUI() (approximately on line 817):

Code (csharp):

1.             string text = this.userError;
2.             string filename = Path.Combine(this.currentDirectory, this.files[this.selectedFile]);
3.  

to:

Code (csharp):

1.             string text = this.userError;
2.             string filename;
3.             if(this.selectedFile > -1) {
4.                 filename = Path.Combine(this.currentDirectory, this.files[this.selectedFile]);
5.             }
6.             else {
7.                 filename = this.currentDirectory;
8.             }
9.  

Thanks for the quick replies by the way, much appreciated.

 

Thanks for the fixes, much appreciated!

 

Hi Petrucio,

Will you be applying the above fixes to the next release? I noticed that the package has not been updated for 7 weeks or so. Just concerned about support before I buy

Thanks

Paul

 

I'm on super crunch mode for the GDC since I'm the producer and only programmer at my studio, so:

1. You should be worried about support because I don't have much time for it right now.

2. You shouldn't be worried about support because I use the FileBrowser EXTENSIVELLY in my project, and so I have a deep interest to fix any issues.

I didn't update the package yet because:
a. It's mostly stable, other then the above bug
b. I haven't got the time to test it under a Mac.

If you buy it and regret it, you'll get your money back, even if I have to PayPal you myself.

Thanks!

PS: I'll see if I can find the time to update it this week.

 

Hi Petrico,

Thanks for replying, and I know how it is

I may well give it a go this weekend.

 

Update is live on the Asset Store.

The biggest change is thumbnail caching of the image previews, which will load directories with large images significantly faster after the second time. And some bug fixes and minor improvements.

 

Great news. Thanks Petrucio!

 

Hi Petrucio, just purchased. But how do I make the window draggable. It's pretty a essential feature when building an in-game editor, cos users are supposed to bring up the other gui windows at the same time.

 

Hello paraself, thanks for buying!

Since it uses Unity native GUI, and Unity's GUI isn't drag-friendly, it currently does not support dragging. Sorry about that.

I use it a lot and I have never really felt the need for it - but you can request a refund if this is a deal breaker for you.

 

Hi it's fine I'll just stick to it since I found that I can resize the window. ;-) But do you consider porting it to NGUI

 

Thanks! Yeah, I intend to port it to NGUI someday, since I also use it a lot and it would look better and be more extensible with NGUI.

But I do not have an estimate on when that'll happen - could take many months, so don't count on it.

 

Hi,
Will the mobile version be available soon?
I really need a texture file browser with save/load for mobile and was wondering if this could do it?

ty!

 

Sorry sonicviz, I'm way to busy, and since I don't need the File Browser on my current project, I think it's unlikelly that I'll get around to porting it to mobiles anytime this year.

 

No Sale! ty!

fyi should you should make that clear in the Asset Store description as you imply mobile support will be *coming soon*, rather than *not soon at all*. Glad I asked!

 

Just bumping this up to let any subscribers know that an update is available.

It's a minor update, mainly to enable users to tweak UI variables and see the changes take effect every frame. It really makes life easier to set your styles up properly.

 

Hello, petrucio, my English is not good, please forgive me.
I really like your tools. It is really great.
In my project is running well, and I very much hope that watched it updated.
I now have a problem, my project is the wallpaper display, customers need real-time switching wallpaper in preview. Now double-click on the map and select the wallpaper. Tool interface closed. Re-open interface to find wallpaper textures.
When can double-click on the map to allow the selection tool interface do not close. So you can see the effect of switching the map until satisfied. Then close the screen.
I hope I can understand that, and look forward to your reply. Thank you very much!

 

I'm sorry gulanxiu, but I'm really not understanding what you are trying to say here. I've tried really hard, and I've slowly read what you've written 3 times.

What's your native language? If it's latin or anglosaxon in origin, I'll have an easier time to understand it. Just write in your native language regarless, and I'll see what google translate comes up with.

 

I'm sorry petrucio
I am a Chinese，I mean, when you double-click the mouse to select a map, GUI interface do not quit

 

I thought that was what you meant, and I tried it here, and it quits just fine on double-clicks. Sorry I'm not being able to help you,

 

It does not matter,thank you very much

 

hello，I want it not quits on double-clicks，

 

Oh, NOT close on double-clicks! Ok, that's pretty easy!

Just add a return before any code on the FileDoubleClickCallback method, on FileBrowser.cs, line 1095:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.     private void FileDoubleClickCallback(int i) {
3.         return; // <<-- Add this here
4.         // ...
5.     }
6.  

 

Hello, problem solving, but the map can not be switched.
Version: File Browser SaveLoad UI v1.1.1.13
//===========================================================================
private void FileDoubleClickCallback(int i) {
this.soundPreviewer.Disable();
this.StopAllCoroutines();
this.StartCoroutine(this.FileSelected());
}

 

Ok, I think I've finally figured out what you want!

Try changing the double-click method to this:

Code (csharp):

1.     //===========================================================================
2.     private void FileDoubleClickCallback(int i) {
3.         this.soundPreviewer.Disable();
4.         this.StopAllCoroutines();
5.         this.StartCoroutine(this.FileSelected());
6.        
7.         // Double-click not closing hack
8.         this.ShowBrowser(this.title, this.callback);
9.     }

 

Wow, it was successful
Very, very grateful
I wish you success in work

 

Thanks!

 

petrucio, I need my users to be able to do 2 simple things. So please let me know if your file browser is the one I can turn to.
1. I need to be able to easily assign your browser to open when my user clicks on a 3D text I have setup as a menu item.
2. When my user finds and selects the media file they want, I need that path string to be sent to the next scene.

can I get this done with your offering?

 

Sure javdog, it can easily do what you are requesting of it.

I expect you to have basic scripting skills in order to use it, but I'll help you out where I can if you have any trouble with it.

Thanks.

 

Is there a way (other than code changes) to turn off the preview? I just want a straight up file load/save dialog without large icons for files or a lot of horizontal space reserved for a preview.

 

Not currently no. You could add a showPreview variable to the inspector to toggle it and change the UI code, but I don't have time to do that this year.

The smaller icons for the files is easy to setup just changing the inspector values.

 

Hello!
How do I load things other than pictures like actual games.

 

This asset is just a browser and does not handle actual saving and loading. You can try something like Easy Save 2 for that: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/768

 

i am an user in china.
can not preview and load the image,when the image‘s name include chinese character

 

Hello Petrucio,

I am very interested in buying your Unity Asset .

It appears you have not been active on this forum for about 2 years, and you did not list an email support for this asset on the asset store. So, I am not sure if this asset has been deprecated and is no longer supported by you ?

For now, I would like to have some questions:

(1) Can you please confirm if this asset work for iOS and Android ?

(2) Would you please upgrade this asset to support Unity 5 ?

When I try to buy this asset, Unity warns me that this asset was designed for Unity 4 and may not be compatible with Unity 5. Therefore, I have not bought your asset yet.

(3) Does your asset work with MP3 files and PNG and JPG files ?

(4) Can your asset actually play some MP3 file (as preview) as you specify in the description section ? That would be awesome.

(5) I need to allow users to load MP3 files for iOS and Android. Do you happen to know the paths to the root music directories for those 2 platforms ?
Also, do I need to modify some config files to allow your asset to access those music directories on the mobile devices for those 2 platforms ?

(6) Similarly, I need to allow users to load pictures or photos from the standard Gallery or Photo apps (for iOS and Android). Do you happen to know the root directories to show the list of the pictures and photo on those platforms ?

Also, do I need to modify some config files to allow your asset to access those photo directories (inside Gallery app) on the mobile devices for those 2 platforms ?

Thank you very much.

 

1. Just tested it on Android, and it doesn't work out of the box. Unfortunately I don't have time to debug why not.

2. It works fine using Unity's auto-conversion out of the box.

3. Yes

4. Unfortunately it doesn't preview mp3 files, due to licensing shenanigans. It previews .wav and .ogg files.

5. Don't know. In theory all you would need to do is know what these folders are and set it as the starting folder when showing the browser.

6. Same as 5.

 

Hi petrucio,

Is this file Browser system working with VR goggles such as the Oculus rift or HTC Vive?
(would be really great if it did!)

yours
Max Aigner

 

Sorry, no, it doesn't support VR, and I have to immediate plans or time to do it.

 

hm ok
well but actually I got it to work.. VRTK supports some UI pointers, where you can controll standard Unity UI.

thanks for the nice Plugin
yours
Max Aigner

 

Just wondering if this works with the newer versions of Unity. I'm assuming so since others here have posted recently about it. I want to be sure before I invest the money to buy it.
