Hi. I have a workflow that starts with a component that contains a Local File Browser Configuration node. If a KNIME protocol URL is entered (e.g. a mountpoint-relative URL), the node produces a URL variable that converts the KNIME URL to a file URL that points to a location in a temp directory (and a variable that captures the same file path to the temp location).
The workflow then performs long running calculations. Sometimes I run only half the workflow, close KNIME and when I return the next day I want to continue the workflow. The latter part of the workflow uses the location of that file, but unfortunately that temp directory no longer exists, resulting in an error.
The Local File Browser Configuration node doesn’t expose the KNIME URL which I could resolve using the Explorer Browser node, for example, so there doesn’t seem to be an easy way around the issue, short of copying the file to a known location (unless I’m missing something). Any suggestions?
Possible node changes?.. Would it be possible to produce a third variable that captures the original text entered by the user? Or perhaps an option to produce a KNIME URL instead of a file URL if a KNIME URL was entered?
Thanks
Don
