open file from vault opens multiple files

Hi all,

 

Found a hichup in 2012 release:

- from autocad, press "open file from vault"

you get the open dialog box

we often click one of the files we need so it shows up on the file name entry field, then we modify the name to the one we actually want to open. for example: if we want the file 1234567890 but see file 1234577777 in the dialog, we click that file and select the 77777 part in the file name field. next we replace it by typing the correct numbers 67890 and the complete file name is then shown as 1234567890. This method often saves some time as we don't have to type the complete name.

 

What happens enxt when we press the "open" button, is that BOTH files are opened; the one we actually wanted and the one we used as a typing aid. You can see the information in the file name field is actually changed right after the open button is pressed. It then reads as if the CTRL button was used to select multiple files.

 

This occurs on both win7 and winXP systems, and was not found in the previous release we used (2009)

THanks for letting us know.

 

I've duplicated the issue and will log a defect.  This is ocurring because when you type the filename in, it does not change what you see in the filelist so instead the Add-in sees two different files, the one highlighted and the filename that is typed in and opens both.
