File Import question
Hi guys,
I have an import button in my UI, I want to make sure that the files being imported are coming from the (footage) folder within the project parent folder. Is it possible to restrict and alert the user that if the file is not being imported from the (footage) folder, to please, first copy the file to such folder before import?
Currently my import code looks like:
wavButton.onClick = function() {
// Open Dialog Box, put item in audioFolder and also, replace the audio layer in _GSALL
var audioFile = app.project.importFileWithDialog();if (audioFile != null){
audioFile[0].parentFolder = audioFolder;
gsAll.layer('Audio_Layer').replaceSource(audioFile[0], true);
ddaudio.add("item", audioFile[0].name);
};
}; // END OF WAV BROWSE BUTTON
As always, thank you all for your help and time!

To check that the project file and the folder containing the imported file are both in the same folder, you can compare folder objects like this:
if (app.project.file.parentFolder == file.parentFolder.parentFolder){
// do stuff
}
else{
alert(“!”);
};Or you can compare paths (strings):
if (app.project.file.path === file.parentFolder.path){
// do stuff

Xavier, as always thank you so much for the reply!
let me ask you,
parentFolder.path is giving me an error (undefined is not an object). Now, when I do .file.parent.path in the other hand, it is giving me the file path to the parent folder. Is it the same thing?
Thanks

My mistake !
i messed up, it was as you said: file.parent, not file.parentFolderThe path of a file/folder is the portion of the absoluteURI without the file name, so it’s same as the absoluteURI of the parent folder.
In the end, does it work ?
