Using the proc below works as expected - until I navigate to my Desktop folder (Win10) and there it also lists all web shortcuts (*.url) I have on my desktop.
Do others see this phenomenon as well?

Code: Select all

Global StartFile.s

Procedure SelectFile()
  Protected pattern.s = "PureBasic files (*.pb, *.pbi, *.pbp)|*.pb;*.pbi;*.pbp", patternindex = 0
    
  StartFile = OpenFileRequester("Select a Purebasic file/project", "", pattern, patternindex)
  Debug StartFile
EndProcedure

SelectFile()

Confirmed here. Also does it for *.url files anywhere on my Win 10 hard drive (not just the desktop).

But it seems to be a normal Windows behavior (not a PureBasic bug):

There's apparently a way to hook the dialog to not show them, as mentioned in the second link above, but it's a lot of work.

The first link above says the *.url links are shown because the shortcuts could point to one of the files in your filter (such as a *.pb file on a website or network folder).
