store a local file directory into a variable

I need to get user input to specify which folder/ directory ( which allows users to select a directory from their computer like file chooser) that the output file from R needs to be put into. Is there a particular node or combination of nodes that allows this?

Sounds like


node.

Hi there @dg1,

welcome to KNIME Community Forum!

Would you like to have something like Local File Browser Configuration node but only for directories?

I basically need instead of file upload a directory upload just so I can get the path of the directory in a flow variable

Hi there @dg1,

there is File Chooser Widget/Configuration node which allow to chose files, workflows and/or directories. If you are planning to use this workflow on WebPortal go with File Chooser Widget node.

FileChooser

Hi @ipazin,

I have the same question as @dg1, and a node “Local Directory Browser Configuration” would be the best solution. Is there a way to have the same result with other currently available node?

Thanks, Lionel

Hi there @lcollia,

sry for a late response. Not sure I’m following. Why File Chooser isn’t good enough? Also with Local Directory Browser Configuration you can choose directory as well…
