Thanks for the quick reply! I tried looking for the parameter you mentioned, "allowFiles" and "allowDirectories" but I cannot seem to find it on the FileParameter graphic interface. I right click on the file parameter and I can choose the configure attributes, I try to add the 2 parameters in ( although I cannot find a checkbox parameter option for the true false selection you mention below so I just gave it a 0 or 1 ) but it does not seems to be working. The file parameter still behave the same way
