Open File... menu command - get path of opened file [message #496059]

Hi,

I need to get the absolute path of the file which is opened by selecting through the File Open dialog via the menu command.

I am not able to get the same using the getEditorInput() function once it is loaded into the editor as this is a special file (.mdzip). Please find my related post reference for this as:

So, I need to get file path information by hooking the Open File command somehow not from the editor. Is it possible to do the same. Any suggestions or other ways to achieve he same are always welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Abhinav

Take a look at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.actions.OpenLocalFileAction.

hi Dani,

Thanks for the reply.

As per I have seen this, OpenLocalFileAction is used to programatically open any file in the Editor. But in my case, I need to open the file via Eclipse menu File->Open and get the value of selected filepath from the filedialog.i.e. I need to listen somehow for this action command.

You need to provide your own action i.e. you can't modify or extend the
existing Open action.

Hi Dani,

This is what I am doing right now. I've made a separate menu command like 'Open MDZIP File' and use this action.
This is working fine and I am able to get the filepath of MDZIP file.

But I need to do this without creating any new menu action i.e. existing Open File.. command.
Is it possible to do that way?
