using file location in list files node as flow variable

Hi,

I was wandering whether it is possible to make the string in the location field of the list files node (after the user has picked the file location path) directly available as a flow variable in the subsequent nodes. There is no entry for the location in the flow variables tab of this node but maybe there is a simple way to solve this.

Yes it is.

admittedly the name is not too obvious, but the name in the flow variable tab which contains the location field is called "file settings". Entering a name in the empty box next to this will output the location field as a variable under the name you enter in the white box.

thanks,

simon.
