Load file directory in EditFiedBox

Hi,

I have a backend code, which I cannot edit. I want to design an app for the same. In which If I select one model it asks to load file/folder. If I give a provision to load file using button in GUI, I need to load the file twice as the backend code also has a provision to load file. So How can I resolve this issue?

Also, If I directly give run button to the model without loading inputs in GUI (without writing script like uigetfile() in GUI), It will directly asks the inputs from the backend, How do I specify the multiple inputs directory in different EditField Box?

The app is missing a listbox. You can have a button to select a folder, like with uigetdir(), but then you should call dir() to load all the files in the folder into a listbox so the user can easily click on one or more files to process them. Don't force the user to browse for a file every time they want to process a new one when they can simply see the one they want and click on it in a listbox. That's just basic user friendly UI design.

Other than that I can't say much since I don't know what your app really does and what the "backend" app does.
