Hello, I want to use win32com to transfer photos from my iphone to my computer (I found a code snippet here, that worked for me: https://gitlab.com/lassi.niemisto/iphone-photo-dump/). In addition I would like to use pywebview to build a GUI.
Behaviour of the shell listing the resource "My computer" is unexpected when I access the win32com functions through pywebview as it is not showing my iphone then. Here is a minimal working example (you may have to replace the String == "Dieser PC" according to the language of your windows): from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon from webview import create_window, start, windows class Api(): def listFoldersDieserPC(self): folder = shell.SHGetDesktopFolder() for item in folder: print("loop: ", folder.GetDisplayNameOf(item, shellcon.SHGDN_NORMAL)) if folder.GetDisplayNameOf(item, shellcon.SHGDN_NORMAL) == "Dieser PC": new_folder = folder.BindToObject(item, None, shell.IID_IShellFolder) break # list folders in Dieser PC/This Computer for item in new_folder: print("loop: ", new_folder.GetDisplayNameOf(item, shellcon.SHGDN_NORMAL)) api = Api() window = create_window('Test', 'index.html', js_api=api, min_size=(600, 450)) api.listFoldersDieserPC() print("now from the browser") start() With index.html: <button value="asdf" onClick="window.pywebview.api.listFoldersDieserPC()">List Folders</button> The first time I call the function api.listFoldersDieserPC directly from python, the second time through the button in the pywebview browser window. This is the output: loop: Dieser PC loop: Downloads loop: Bilder loop: Musik loop: Desktop loop: Dokumente loop: Videos loop: Apple iPhone loop: Local Disk (C:) now from the browser loop: Dieser PC loop: Downloads loop: Bilder loop: Musik loop: Desktop loop: Dokumente loop: Videos loop: Local Disk (C:) Process finished with exit code 0 It is the same, except that the folder for Apple iPhone is missing on the second go. Why is the shell behaving differently here? Is this a bug in win32com or is pywebview influencing it somehow? What can I do to make it work?
