"Directory Path" node as Orkestra input causes Revit Crash when Browse button is clicked

When using “Directory Path” node as input for Revit 25 with Orkestra 1.9.9.1 clicking the Browse button causes Revit to crash.

In Orkestra preview 1.9.9.9 clicking the Browse button does not crash Revit but also does not open file explorer.

So far this issue only happens in Revit 25.

@FilipeFinco we’re not able to reproduce this. Could you please share a screen capture or any information that we might be missing?

After reverting back to Orkestra 1.9.9.1 to try and reproduce the issue again I could not get Revit to Crash, but for sure the file explorer does not open when I click the browse button. But I still have a screenshot of it when it happened before updating to preview 1.9.9.9:

Thank you @FilipeFinco !

Not sure exactly what breaks , might be a conflict with another plugin. We’ll add some more safeguards around this.

@FilipeFinco just to be sure I understood the last update correctly : even in 1.9.9.1 you’re not getting the dialog to show?

Yes, the file explorer dialog wont open. I tested on 2024.1.9.8, 1.9.9.1 and 1.9.9.9.

I just tested the 1.9.10.0 pre-release in Revit 25 and in this version the Browse button works again, it opens the file explorer and the script runs normally. The only thing is, and maybe I am not remembering this correctly, but I feel like before there used to be a feedback on the UI about the selected folder after you click open in the file explorer. It would show the path to the folder next to the button if I am not mistaken. Atm there is no such feedback so I was initially wondering if my selection worked or not because there is no UI element telling it worked. I feel like before we had the path visible in there, but I may be mis-remembering. This is what it looks like now after selection and running the script:

Here is the UI feedback for the “File Path” node, I think it used to look like this also for the “Directory Path” node:

thanks so much @FilipeFinco !

This confirms our hypothesis of the conflicting addin that caused the Orkestra Dialog (using Ookii dialog library ) to fail. The fallback to default windows folder selection worked but indeed the UI feedback doesn’t kick in the wame way. This is an easy fix and we’ll have it shipped for official 1.9.10.0 !!

Thanks again so much for the prompt updates, this is extremely helpful to us and the Orkestra community :heart: .

Cheers!
