How to specify root/default folder for getFolder()

Photoshop UXP Plugin API
1

How can I specify the default folder for storage.localFileSystem.getFolder()?
Say I want it to be “D:\Pictures\Adobe” so that this will be the root folder when the file picker opens for that plugin.

Did you check the docs?

3

Yes. There is no default location there.

4

Then what is the only accepted option in the method?

the preferred initial location of the file picker. If not defined, the most recently used domain from a file picker is used instead.

5

They I must ne doing something wrong…
How do I specify “D:\Pictures\Adobe” as the initialFolder?
defaultPath = "D:\\Pictures\\Adobe";
...await fs.getFolder({initialDomain: defaultPath})

@karpiyon worth noting that the documentation specifies that it takes a Symbol and not a String.

And you can choose one of these Symbols. I’m afraid you won’t be able to define just any location

Thank you.
I though I could specify any folder.

Is there a way to get a symbol to the current working directory? The one the activeDocument is saved it?
