I have an application where the users regularly need to save results and would like to use the input file name to help specify the output file names. For example, if the input came from 'foo.img', I use that to set the file keyword in dialog_pickfile to 'foo.roi'. That works until the user changes the directory with dialog_pickfile. Changing the directory removes the initial file selection. The same happens if the user types in a file name and then selects a new directory. Does anyone know a way to make the dialog_pickfile file selection stick as the user navigates the directory tree? Are there any other widgets out there that would do that for me? Mike -- Michael A.
