[Image] How to get the path of an Image ? [message #448390]

Hi !

I know how to navigate the disk to choose the image to put on a button,
but I don't know how to programmatically return the path of the file an
image was loaded from.

Say I have an org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image obtained from
Button.getImage(). This image comes from somewhere on the disk and I
would like to allow the user to choose another one from a FileDialog
witch opens in the directory of the current image.

TIA

The piece of code that sets the image on the button can possibly can call
button.setData(String key, Object data) and pass the name of the directory.
Then your piece of code can use the button.getData(String key) to get the
location of the directory.

Right, I use this feature everyday, but I thought there was something
already coded for that.

Thanks
