Simple File Browser - Click & Head Tracking about unitysimplefilebrowser

[yvonneradke]

It's working now, thank you for your help!

By default, files are selected on double click. However, you can change this behaviour by setting FileBrowser.SingleClickMode to true.

that is my bad. I ve disabled the button component. now it's working i can select the files. yet I don't understand why my headset acts as a pointer on the file list menu.

[yasirkula]

I haven't implemented any VR input modules for this plugin. Your headset SDK is probably causing the headset to act as a pointer for all UI objects, including FileBrowser.

probably, thank you for the help sir 👍

Does this work for VR based Unity projects on iOS and Android? Is It possible to render the file picker in worldspace?

[yasirkula]

Since it's created with uGUI, of course! You can place the SimpleFileBrowserCanvas prefab to your scene, change its Canvas Render Mode, position it as you wish and at the beginning of the game (in your script's Start function), deactivate the file browser GameObject. SimpleFileBrowser will now use the SimpleFileBrowserCanvas instance in your scene.

Hi!
I have a similar problem but can't seem to find the solution. I'm using the file browser with the meta quest 3 and hand tracking. The hand tracking is done with the Meta XR Interaction SDK. I can click all the buttons and the quick links on the left side of the panel but I cannot interact with the files and folders shown in the right side of the panel at all. Any ideas as to why this happens?

@yvonneradke There are nested GraphicRaycasters in SimpleFileBrowserCanvas. Do you need to change them to work with Meta XR SDK?

[yvonneradke]

I already deleted the GraphicRaycaster and added a Tracked Device Graphic Raycaster. Since it's working for most of the canvas (expect for the middle right part) I assumed that I might need to change something in the code for this area.

[yasirkula]

Did you perform this operation on the GameObject called "Files"? If so, I'd recommend deleting Canvas and Graphic Raycaster from that GameObject and all the other nested canvases (there are others in there).

@yasirkula Sorry to bother you again, but I stumbled upon another problem. I want to use the file browser to open obj files. The problem is that the obj loader needs raw path data, which is not given when I am using SAF, but if I set shouldUseSAF to false, my obj data is not displayed anymore and I cannot select it. Do you have a solution to this problem?

[yasirkula]

You can copy the file to temporaryCachePath via FileBrowserHelpers.CopyFile. You can find an example of this at the end of the example code.
