The documentation for FileParameter says:

"If this attribute contains a parameter named allowFiles with value false, then when a file browser is used to select a file, that file browser will be set to not show files (only directories will be shown). If this attribute contains a parameter named allowDirectories with value true, then the file browser will permit the user to select directories (the default behavior is that when a directory is selected, that directory is opened and its contained files and directories are listed)."

(I'm not sure about Kepler, but in Ptolemy, just drag in a FileParameter
from the Utilities menu, right click on it, and select Documentation.)

I'm not sure what you mean by "list parameter." Can you cite a specific
example?

Hi everyone, I am trying to create a composite actor and trying to setup
the parameters for the composite actor. Thus I have some question on
adding parameters in composite actors.

1.) Directory parameter:

-I would like to let the users specify a directory on the composite
actor parameters interface, I know there is a file parameter but I need
a directory parameter. How can I customise a directory parameter ?

-I have a problem with relative path too, when I setup a file parameter
it returns the string of the path relative to my current kepler file
that is open. Is there a way to get the base file path ? Something like
$CWD, but instead the file path of my currently open file ?


2.) List Parameter:
- I have seen some actor have List parameters how do I customise one for
my composite actor too ?

Thanks alot !!
