file path selection

[Geogirl]

Hey there is there any way that you can suggest the starting folder when using getExistingDirectory?  Below is the code I have but it defaults to the last folder opened whereas i want it to default to a specific folder on the C:\ where i can select whichever subfolder within it:

def load_photos():
   
   import Metashape
   chunk = Metashape.app.document.chunk
   photos_to_load = []

   today = datetime.today().strftime('%Y_%m_%d')

   photo_folder = Metashape.app.getExistingDirectory("Please select the folder of photos to load.")
   file_path = Path(Metashape.app.document.path)


   print (photo_folder)

Thanks

Hello Geogirl,

Currently API command do not support definition of the default folder, but you get workaround it with the following call:

Metashape.app.settings.setValue("folders/python", "C:/NewDefaultFolder/")
path = Metashape.app.getExistingDirectory()
