Allow user to choose path by selectFolder for SP11

No. In SP9 the custom DLLs were removed completely so Aras runs as a standard web app without any plugins. This means that the only download option is the same as you have from any website, as the web browser does not allow javascript to write to the local file system. So, this is removed from Aras and allows it to run in Chrome and browser that don't support dynamic DLL download & usage from server to client. Usually you can set the browser to not have a default download folder, and instead "ask every time" or something similar. Maybe that helps?

Hello Marcus, Thanks for the details. While creating new user we use to set "Working Directory" in SP11. I am trying to use this path to download the files in that folder. Is there any way to download files in working directory? If not then why aras has given this option for working directory? Confused :(

Hello, With the move towards the extensionless client, the concept of the "Working Directory" had to be removed. When your users download files, they will be placed in the default download directory of the browser they are using. The "Working Directory" property was left in for legacy purposes, but it does not have any bearing on the standard functionality of Aras Innovator. You can make the suggestion to your users to change the download directory of their browser to the file location they want their Aras files to be downloaded to. Chris
