Add Browse when Importing NinjaScript

[lleibfarth]

This is a minor issue but I'd like to see a "browse" button when importing NinjaScripts. Currently, you have to type in the exact file location of the NinjaScript Archive File in order to import the script if it is not stored in the NT8 Custom folder.

Hello lleibfarth,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

We've taken a different approach in this area. When the import window appears you will note that at the top it shows the file path to your Ninjatrader8\bin\Custom folder. The window below will show all folders within the Custom folder and at the top left of the folder list you will note a folder with ".." next to it. If you double left-click the folder, it will cause the file navigation window to back up in the file path. Repeated double clicks gets you farther back in the path. Once you have reached the desired level you can then click on the folder in the area where you have your Ninjascript located.

I've attached a couple of screenshots that I think will help.

I hope this helps, please let us know if this is not clear.

Forcing single-click, serial navigation is retrograde. We need random access, per a file explorer window. It is simply oodles more efficient.

Yes this would be a great addition. I don't download anything on my trade machine. I have a small home network of 3 machines. So when I download something for Ninja its done on either of the other 2 machines. Double clicking the file folder to the top ends you at the drive letters but nowhere long the way can I get to my network so I have to take the extra step of first dragging the file over to my trade machine first.

So please add me to this request too.
