Thanks again for the reply. So, I have been able to successfully create a plugin that generates a token by
invoking a dialog and having the user select an image file. Then the user can create/directly import that image file (without the dialog being invoked) by setting the path = to the Token in the Place command.
This all works great. Code I’m using is below.
But here is the issue:
When I look in the console for the output of the console.log for //STORED FILE NAME (see below)
it appears to be identical to the output for the console.log for //DIALOG FILE NAME (see below)
So I at first thought I could dispense with filename = await fs.getFileForOpening(); (to avoid the dialog)
and instead just set filename = to a hard coded string that was identical to the string that was shown in the console for the filename value returned by fs.getFileForOpening();
However, the code does not work (despite no error message/no message at all in the debug screen)
I’m assuming this has to do with the fact that fs.getFileForOpening() returns a Type of File
and not a Type of String?
Any suggestions as to how to use the hard coded filename to make it work like the filename that is returned by fs.getFileForOpening(); ?
Thanks!
