I'm using the following code to open a dialog box to a specific folder. It is currently displaying all .jpg files. How do I make it show all files?
path = system.file.openFile('jpg', 'J:\FULLSAIL\Historian')
if path != None:

1`import glob; print(glob.glob(path+'\*'))` – hilberts_drinking_problem Dec 07 '18 at 02:26

1You might also want to tell us what interface/library you are using there. `system.file.openFile` is not exactly standard Python. – C. Yduqoli Dec 07 '18 at 02:35

Backslashes in literal strings need to be escaped or the string needs to have an `r` prefix added to it. i.e. `'J:\\FULLSAIL\\Historian'` _or_ `r'J:\FULLSAIL\Historian'`. – martineau Dec 07 '18 at 03:07

Python also doesn't have a built-in module named `system`—what is that (some part of `ignition`)? – martineau Dec 07 '18 at 03:10

The software interface I'm using is ignition. – PaulMc Dec 10 '18 at 18:05

The documentation says that you can specify the file extension, for instance “jpg”.
Since it probably uses glob.glob function to filter the files list, you can try with “*” to have no filtering and get all the files.
The documentation also says that the extension is an optional parameter, so you can try:
system.file.openFile(r”J:\FULLSAIL\Historian”)

Ignition's support team said to use the following script.
path = system.file.openFile(None,'J:\FULLSAIL\Historian')
I tested and it seems to work exactly like I was hoping. One note, the term None must be have the first N capitalized, I first tried none and the system did not recognize the cmd. Thank you all for your help.

I had to go back over this again and so far I think this to be the best way using Text Field Input in Ignition Designer – PaulMc Aug 29 '19 at 00:18
