Display file path in form

[madstrolle]

Hi guys,

Is it possible to have the file path displayed inside my "global form"?

When I make a new project I need to copy/paste a part of the file paths text string to another iproperty. 

Any ideas?

Hi @madstrolle.  There is no direct and easy way to do that, because a 'global' iLogic Form simply 'focusses' on whichever document happens to be 'active' when the form is launched, and the only things you can put into the Form are Parameters, Rules (as a button), and iProperties.  The exception is 'static' text, such as a Label.  To make that happen, you would probably need to create a custom iProperty for that information within the document, then include that custom iProperty in the Form, and maybe make sure it is ReadOnly.  You could also use an existing standard iProperty that you do not use for anything else, like Subject or Keywords maybe.  If you include a custom iProperty while another document is active, then close the form, then open the form again while another document is active, and that other document does not have that custom iProperty, that control in the Form will be greyed out, and can not be used.

Hi @WCrihfield ,

It would work perfect if I could use an existing standard iProperty that I don't use for anything else, like Subject or Keywords. This I have tried, but I can't figure out how to get the location path into one of these. It would be great if there were like an expression that would get the path?
