Post From: [ACSIL] How select Path only like Set(get)PathAndFileName?

I feel like I am missing something in the conversation, but why aren't you using the "SetString()" Input:
ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Input Array: sc.Input[].SetString()

Thanks for your response John...

Yes, sc.Input[].SetString() allows the user to manually enter a path as a text string. However, this is not user-friendly, because:

No Browse Option: The user has to type the entire path manually instead of selecting it via a dialog.
High Risk of Errors: Manually entered paths are prone to typos or incorrect formatting (e.g., missing backslashes, wrong drive letters, etc.).
Inconsistent User Experience: Other inputs (like file selection) provide a dialog, but here, the user would have to open Windows Explorer separately to find and copy the correct path.
What I need is a folder selection dialog, just like SetPathAndFileName(), but without forcing the user to select a file.

Would it be possible to add this as a new function in ACSIL?
