Francois Normandin Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 There seems to have been a change in the Attachment Browse Path recently. Although this is not a bug (clearly the behavior has been changed to mimic clicking on the "Browse" button when clicking on the empty filepath), it doesn't allow to paste a filepath directly anymore. That's causing a conflict with the much appreciated "Code Capture Tool"... Is there an other way to paste a filepath directly without opening the Browse dialog? Quote Link to comment
Michael Aivaliotis Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well, I can tell you it's not as a result of anything I did on my part. This appears to be a "feature" of Firefox 3.0. IE works fine. Dis you upgrade FF recently? Quote Link to comment

Supposedly this was done to fix a security flaw in Firefox (see http://codangaems.blogspot.com/2008/06/firefox-3s-file-upload-box.html' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">this rant). Although I haven't found a way around it, I did find that as soon as the file dialog box comes up you can use the standard Ctrl-v to paste the path (regardless of where the focus is) and hit Open or Enter and it works.

Ironically, in this case "IE works fine" means that IE is still subject to the security exploit that both Firefox and Safari fixed. :-) Quote Link to comment

This is not a romoshop and the page is completely loaded. Unless it is a new setting then IE8 need to be investigated? Quote Link to comment
