I know two ways to search for a folder, but I do not how to set the folder where to start the search.
For example, search for a folder in c:/temp?

Both ways do not start with c:/temp

    path = c4d.storage.LoadDialog(c4d.FILESELECTTYPE_ANYTHING, 
        "Please choose a folder", c4d.FILESELECT_DIRECTORY, "", "c:/temp")

        settings = c4d.BaseContainer() 
        settings.SetBool(c4d.FILENAME_DIRECTORY, True);
        self._filename = self.AddCustomGui(10112, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_FILENAME, "", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 50, 10, settings)
        self.SetString(10112, "C:/temp/")

Windows and Macs use different escapes (\\ vs. /) which can easily cause problems.

Try it like this:

import c4d  
def main() :  
    
  path = c4d.storage.LoadDialog(c4d.FILESELECTTYPE_ANYTHING,   
      "Please choose a folder", c4d.FILESELECT_DIRECTORY, "", "c:\\temp")  
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

Yes, I learned that the hard way.

Unfortunately that is not the solution.
The search does with "c:\ emp" or "c:/temp".
I even tried "c:/temp/"

Thanks, Pim

That's strange.
The code I posted opens a file browser with the emp folder selected

I'm using R13. Maybe something has changed?

Sorry,you are correct, c:\ emp is selected, but not as the top one.
I see a huge folder tree and then scrolling done I see c:\ emp is indeed selected.
I would like cinema to scroll down and show the selected folder on top.
Also the folder is only selected, not opened.
