Requestfile

I use this source in my application:

Function loadatoolbar()
	filter$="Image Files:png,bmp"
	file$=RequestFile("Select Iconstripe file",filter$,False )
	Print file$
EndFunction

but then i select a .png file i get this error.

I tried it like below and get no errors

SuperStrict 
loadatoolbar

Function loadatoolbar()
	Local filter$="Image Files:png,bmp"
	Local file$=RequestFile("Select Iconstripe file",filter$,False )
	Print file$
EndFunction

Are you using framewor? If so, are you importing "BRL.system"?

What is "CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData()" from?

I don't think there is anything wrong with that code, are you sure thats the culprit?

I am using the SVN from the maxgui (macgui.drivers).
Anyone too?

Then post it in the maxgui thread as this is not the current official and stable maxgui version.
the current stable and official is the one you get through syncmods. the svn one is a "beta build" only and has its own thread in the maxgui board.

Nope - the RequestFile() function is from BRL.System and is unaffected by the MaxGUI modules - the article is quite rightly placed here (unless it is Linux, but that's a different story).

MacSven: Does it happen every time you use RequestFile() or only sometimes. Can you post a complete, fully working example that reproduces the bug every time? Finally, is this on PPC or Intel Tiger?

I used the sample from BlitzMax. I get the error exactly after i chose different kind of png and bmp files. I build it in debug mode. Than i select first a png picture , and secound i selected a bmp file. i find out that the error is in all programs i have wirtten exact the same problem. I am using a Intel Mac with MacOS X 10.4.11.

Apparently, it's not an error, just a warning.

The plist file it is attempting to read is possibly corrupt in some way. The warning also displays the file that it thinks is causing the problem.
The reason no-one else would be having the same issue is that they are unlikely to have the same file corrupt.

It's nothing to do with BlitzMax specifically, you just happen to be running an application in which stderr is showing on the console.
I would expect, that if you built an XCode project with a file-requester in a similar way, and ran it from the console, you'd likely get the same warning.

Is it possible to supress this warning?
