PickFile(), Projects and Network Drives

Did you notice that PickFile looks different when it's opened from within a project?

More than that - when Pick File is opened from a project, with mydir pointing to a network drive with thousands of files, Jmp will freeze for dozens of seconds:

mydir= "\\computername\directory";
Pickfile("select a file" , mydir)

 

So, if you work in a project, to prevent Jmp from freezing, please be sure that your initial directory is no network drive with many files:

If(not(is empty(This Project()) ), mydir = "$SAMPLE_DATA");
