if there were no configuration files then start X with a single xterm running. The X startup even had a "fall back" default. Because the call to fvwm was the last line and not put in the background it meant that when fvwm terminated then X would close down. All the previous applications ( xv, xterm, xclock, xscreensaver) were running before the window manager started. This is the line that started my window manager (fvwm). When this script finishes then the X server will shut down. This file would be run when I started X with startx.

Full example, tested on Blender 3.6.0: import bpyįrom bpy.props import StringProperty, BoolPropertyīl_label = "Dir Selection Example Operator" Since v2.80, declaring string/bool properties requires using the colon : sign instead of equal =. In so doing, the possibility to select the name of the file will disappear.Īlso, to show only folders by default you can add a property filter_folder = (default=True, options=). The string properties ‘filepath’, ‘filename’, ‘directory’ and a ‘files’ collection are assigned when present in the operatorĪctually, you need to specify only a directory StringProperty in your operator. The documentation of fileselect_add says: The most compact solution that I found uses the method WindowsManager.fileselect_add() in invoke(), and doesn't use the Helpers.
