Is there anyway to do multi files selection when doing prompt for files? I’d like users to select multi files together and push to production. Thanks!
Eric,
Have a look at the Prompt For Variables (Enhanced) action, as with this action you can prompt for multiple variables, and each variable can be set to a number of different types, including “Select Files”.
cheers,
tate.
Thank you very much for your reply!
What I’d like to do is to select multiple files all at once when users try to browse to the files they want to push to the production. I don’t quite understand how Prompt fo Variables (Enhanced) to do that. I tried to use Select file type for one variable called SourcePath. The problem is I don’t know how many files users will select for each release. Thanks!
Ah, so you need to ask the users for a list of files?
hmm, not sure how you could do this… but probably your best bet is to write your own action using ActionStudio that has a file selection dialog and a memo box, when they select a file they can add the selected file to the memo (with a button). And then the action can set a variable with the list of files.

Hi Tate,
Can multi selection for Promt for Files Action be on the wish list since Shift + Select files will make user easier to select the files they want to push to production rather than one by one. Thanks!
Hi Eric,
Added to wish list

Hi Tate,
When I use prompt for file and try to select a file with spaces in its name. The action won’t work. Is there anyway to handle it? Thanks a lot!
Hi Eric,
I just tried to reproduce this and I’m having no luck (either with the Prompt for Files and Directories action or with the Prompt For Variables (Enhanced) action. Is there any chance you could give us some more information about how to reproduce it?
If you need a workaround in a hurry, you may be able to use the Prompt For Variables (Enhanced) action instead of Prompt for File (or vice versa.)

Hi Angus,
I’d like to know if the multi file selection enhencement you added to wish list can be implement soon?
By the way, after multiple files selected, I’d like to add the path to a variable so that they can be copied together by using the variable as Source.
Thanks a lot!
Have a nice weekend!
Hi Eric,
Have a look at the latest FinalBuilder 5 beta…
Hi
I tried FB5, it does’t have what I need. Also, even FB5 works, my manager will not have buget to buy it 
Thanks!
Hi Eric,
Sorry, not sure exactly what kind of functionality you’re looking for?
We’re not adding any enhancements for FB4 now (but will fix any bugs) - so you might want to look at creating an action in ActionStudio that can do exactly what you need.
